Cute Baby Gift Idea...
Comments (4)Sorry I don't have a picture. Maybe if I can get some things gathered up I could sorta put one together. I'll see what I can do....See MoreBaby gift ideas
Comments (5)You could make one of those pillows designed to go around a nursing mothers waist to support baby on, then it can double as a support for baby to sit up in, or lean across. DGD is nearly 2 and still uses hers to lay on while having a story read to her. You could also make the covers for them. Covers to put in the cart at the store (keeps baby safe from everything from germs to rough edges). When my kids were small I was given a "cover" to hold baby up in the high chair, it was shaped like a big T with long ties on the bottom end, they came up between the legs and tied at the back of the chair. (when kids got older I used it to "tie them in" big people chairs when we'd go some place with no high chair available. Hobby Lobby is having a sale on Simplicity Patterns this week, 99 cents each, got several ideas in the book at WM, off to Hobby Lobby today, apparently WM no longer matches prices. Have fun!

Comments (12)Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! Colleen, from what I've read on the web, per your suggestion, red is happiness and good fortune and gold is prosperity. The bank sounded like a nice idea, symbolic of prosperity and all. Tiffany has some darling ones but sterling is too extravagant, and I don't like the symbolism of plate. OTOH, Alphadorables have all those beautiful piggy banks, so I've put in a custom request to ask if she can do a ram. Apparently, this is specifically the year of the goat on the stamps and all, but it's interpreted as a sheep by the people because, like, what's the difference anyway, and sheep are cuddlier, calm and gentle (um...okay, but I've been around sheep...maybe that's supposed to be in comparison to goats, which I can get behind), and useful for warmth and good things. Or something like that. And finding a goat bank would just be too hard! There's one on Amazon Marketplace (outside seller/shipper) that would be perfect, but they have a disclaimer about flaws. I have big issues with third rate merchandise being sold under the heading of "handmade has flaws". There's a difference between a thin spot in the paint where the brush pulled too much (acceptable and proves it wasn't done by a robot), and the paint slapped on any old way, chipped, exposed undercoat where it rested, and thumbprints for the love of Mike! I figure if they're warning about it, it's a problem. I thought that a bank with some "golden dollars" would be both a very American thing and fit with the Chinese traditions. The gift doesn't have to be Chinese in nature, however, just not offensive. If the bank doesn't work out, I'll still need some backup ideas. One, of course, is the step that Ellendi originally suggested, and the scooter or rocker animal I originally thought of (inspired by one I saw that looks like a cuddly bug, but would a bug upset the grandmother? There are plenty of sheep, but do they want a houseful of sheep?)....See MoreGift ideas for 8 year old girl who loves baby dolls and playing school
Comments (13)This gift would be dependent upon your relationship with the child and how much you are willing to spend.. This would be great for a family member. I would recommend an American Girl Doll. My daughter and several of her friends each had one and LOVED them. My daughter got her first one a 6 years old and played with it for three years. They are expensive. If she already a doll, the AG books are good too. I donated dd's to her 5th grade class because she was done with them. They stayed checked out. Does she still use crayons? The big box with tons of colors were the envy of my kid's classmates. My dd loved the art books for painting and drawing. She filled up several of them. What about getting her a scrapbook and pens and paper? Or a nice journal and some pretty pens?...See MoreMtnRdRedux
