Baby Shower Gifts

My sister-in-law, Christine, is an amazing shower thrower and gift giver, she always likes to "include a small rattle or something with my gift to tie in with the ribbon or put in a diaper bag," and was looking for some ideas to go along with her gifts. As you know by now, I am a huge fan of Haba toys and they make some excellent baby rattles/teethers. You can feel safe giving these as gifts, too, since their colors are from vegetable and plant dyes rather than paint. Plan Toys and Selecta also have a line of brightly colored teethers and rattles, too.

Some classic teething toys from Oompa.com:

Salto from Haba ..........................Triangle from Haba


Triola from Haba.................. Rally Clutching Toy from Haba

Spin Bell from Plan Toys............Tulpino from Selecta

As for baby shower gifts, there is always a wide selection from fun to practical, from clothes to toys. Some nice playthings to give at showers can also be found at Oompa.com. Look for things that are beautiful as well as playful, that parents will love for the aesthetics and babies will love for the toy. Here are just a couple of ideas:

Crocheted Ball Rattles
