Unique Baby Gifts and Games Equal a Fun Time at the Baby Shower

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Although traditional baby shower games never fail and are always a success, new baby shower games are emerging and spreading across the United States. These cool, unconventional activities are different than the classics but with all the fun and more. If you are aiming for a hip, edgier baby shower with a twist from the classic, all-American baby shower, include a few of these new, trendy games that are sure to be a hit at your shower.

The “Dirty Diaper” game is one of the most clever and unusual, yet surprisingly sweet games out there. For this game, fold white cloth napkins or square pieces of white fabric into small diapers. Inside one of these mini diapers, place an unwrapped Hersheys kiss or any other chocolate bonbon. Fasten all the diapers with a baby diaper safety pin.

When guests arrive to the baby shower, hand one mini baby diaper to each person. Tell the guests to keep them closed and to not open them until instructed to do so. Then, when the time comes for all your games and activities, tell your guests that one of them has a dirty diaper. Tell them to open the diapers all at once, and whoever has the “dirty diaper,” or the chocolate bonbon inside of their diaper, wins a prize.

While it is held that celebrations form part of everyday life, certain celebrations must be given their due share of eminence. The Christmas season, which comes annually, is one such occasion that deserves a generous share of partying and fellowship with an overflow of gifts.

The season is normally a time for joy that is accompanied by signing, gladness and celebrations to mark the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. It is a time that people use to get together and presents you with an occasion to meet long lost friends or family members and bringing back lost memories as you pass the older traditions to the younger generations.

Feasting usually is the order of the day, and gifts for family, friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors much abound during Christmas seasons. Delicate holiday recipes are prepared far in advance just to make sure that the occasion will give the best in pomp, taste, and color.

Celebrating Christmas is well and good but this comes at a considerable dent to the pocket. The current economic crunch is not any god news either. That is why economists advocate for simple Christmas celebrations marked by simple gifts for family, friends, co-workers and colleagues.
