In lots of cultures a common way for relatives members & friends to celebrate the pending birth of a infant is to host a infant shower. Historicallyin the past, infant showers were only held to celebrate the birth of the first infant in the relatives, but as families have become smaller & smaller it is not unusual to have infant showers for all children in the relatives. Originally, only females & close relatives members attended these showers but now men & other relatives are welcome to join the celebration . It’s also become common to hold showers for potentially adopted children.
Baby showers are organized for expecting moms as well as for newborns; either way they are a celebration of new life and blessings and gift giving are a big part of them. Because it is often regarded as rude to ask for gifts from your family, the baby showers are organized by a close friend rather than a family member. There are many types of gifts that are presented at baby showers. In addition to bringing gifts to the future or newborn baby it is becoming more and more common to bring gifts for the expecting or recent mother.
GIFTS FOR THE BABY
As far back as baby showers go, the main focus has been gift giving for the baby. The thought behind it was that blessing the new baby and “showering” it with gifts will grant him or her future life of greatness and prosperity. Nowadays the gifts are more of a practical character with the intention to help offset some of the initial costs associated with raising a child. These gifts often include baby bottles, clothes, toys, diapers, wipes, baby bedding, blankets, etc. The good wishes and blessings come in the form of good luck charms. Often friends pool their money together and buy bigger items like cribs, car seats, swings, baby chairs and others. The gifts are often opened and admired at during the party. However, some still expecting moms may choose to save and not open them until after the baby’s birth.
GIFTS FOR THE MOTHER
Bringing gifts for the father has always been thought about a thoughtful & well-mannered way of recognizing the new Mom. However, the gifts that the mothers are receiving are changing as child showers become more modernized. Traditional gifts for the father include incense, money, food, & clothing. Responding to the values of the day, child shower gifts for the father come in more contemporary forms. A day at the spa, cosmetics baskets, a trip to the hair salon, manicure or pedicure treatment, jewelry, lingerie, aroma treatment sets, candles & similar others are not only welcomed but a great way of little mom’s indulging.
When it comes to gift giving I do know plenty of people hide behind the elderly adage ‘It’s the thought that counts’. Well, when choosing a child shower gift for child or mom you better put some thought & use creativity in case you require your gift to be an expression of your nice will & well wishing.
