In some South Asian cultures, it’s customary to hand out boxes of sweets to family, friends, and neighbors to celebrate the arrival of a new baby. Here are some ideas that combine this custom with traditional birth announcements for an announcement package full of treats. It’s a special way to introduce your new bundle of joy to your loved ones!

What are baby book showers?

They are the latest shower theme trend. Guests bring their favorite children’s books as gifts so that the mother will have ample books to read to her child. This would also be a great idea for a child’s first birthday. Here is a list of things you can do to make her baby book shower even more fun and memorable.

1) Give her gift tags to stick on each book with the baby’s name on it.

2) Serve alphabet cake. These cakes are from Martha Stewart and Family Fun.

3) Requests that guests bring their favorite picture books for the new mom.

4) Have guests sign this photo guest book by Adesso.

5) Give out handmade book favors like these from Martha Stewart, or send them home with store bought ones like these adorable favors from Favor Creative.

Well not exactly yet, but coming really soon! Easter is right around the corner. What does your family do to celebrate? As a child, we’d color real eggs while the adults would hide the plastic ones in an aunt’s backyard. Sometimes there would be candy in the eggs but if we found the gold or silver ones there would be money. For all the kids there would be gigantic baskets filled with chocolate bunnies and eggs and more candy than we could imagine. Marshmallow peeps and Cadbury mini eggs still make my mouthwater and I get nostalgic for those early Easter days.

Being the generous person you are, you’re probably making your own baskets for all the kids in your life and their friends. Make it easier on yourself by ordering gift tags instead of trying to make your own. I thought these were especially cute and appropriate for this holiday.
