Are you expected at a baby shower this fall season? You’ll be a few steps ahead with this Pampered Baby Ornament just in time for baby’s first Christmas. It’s a little unusual, I suppose, for a baby shower but if the baby is expected in December, then I think it would very appropriate and very appreciated.

Custom made by Posh Tots, every ornament begins as a 4″ clear glass ball, painted by hand, signed, and placed inside a beautiful gift box. Personalization is available - if the mom is sure of the due date, that might be a consideration. Usually they’ve already picked out the child’s name so that would be an even better option. You can purchase a gold or white ornament stand separately. Visit  poshtots.com, where this ornament is priced at $32 and is also available in blue for a baby boy.

I’m terrible at using wooden chopsticks. I hate having to ask for a fork whenever we eat out at an Asian restaurant. Although these Chopstick Kids Girls by Fred & Friends are designed for children,  I think I’ll order a set for myself so my child doesn’t feel out of place the next time we eat out at an Asian restaurant (plus it will make it easier for both of us to eat).

The Chopstick Kids Girl (or Boy) stands about 2 3/4 inches tall, and is extremely portable to take to restaurants. It is washable and food-safe. It also comes with a set of Melamine Chopsticks or you can use the Chopstick Kids Girl with your own chopsticks.

The Chopstick Kids Girl comes in a handy clear case measuring about 7.5” x 2.5” x 1″. At a price of $6.90 at KangarooBoo. , you can afford to buy one for your child and one for yourself!

There’s something about high quality that makes it worth a little more expense. This Juicy Couture Newborn 3 piece gift set for girls is a lovely way of expressing your best wishes for baby in a special way. I know when my babies were ready for their first visit out to family and friends, I would try to find the best and the sweetest outfit for them. This would have been my “go to” set.

This set includes a signature gift box filled with pointelle-knit, Juicy design onesie, hat, and booties. It’s available in 0-3mos.

You can purchase a set for $125.00 at RubysKids.com.

What’s not to love about a romper? Not only do they give babies that sweet, innocent shape that they should have, but they look so darn comfortable as well. Because our little ones cannot tell us when they are uncomfortable right away, it eases a mama’s mind to know that she is doing her best to nestle baby in clothes that aren’t constricting or itchy.

However, it is always fun to combine comfort with style and the Guitars & Hearts Bodysuit by Old Navy can’t be beat as far as that goes. Perfect for those pink shoes you already bought, this one-piece short is $12.50 and 100% cotton, a fabric we mamas are looking for more frequently these days.

Dressing a baby in guitar rock cool gear right up to 24 Months is entirely possible should you shop at Old Navy.com.
