What would be appropriate in giving a Baby Shower without the mother?
My daughter had a baby at 24 weeks. This was before the baby shower we had planned. Everyone I talked to said they would get her a gift, but want to see if the baby survives. Happily, the baby is doing well. What would be appropriate? My daughter cannot come to town for a shower, as she lives in another state and needs to be near the hospital where the baby is. But she still needs stuff for when the baby comes home.
I would wait to have a celebration. Maybe set up a drop-in, gift drop-off at your house so people can bring gifts for the baby. Suggest not only gifts for the baby, but also gas gift cards and gift cards to eating places for your daughter while she is in and out of the hospital with the baby. When the baby comes home, she’ll have all of the gifts. And a few months after that plan a celebration for the baby and mommy. Like a cookout or small gathering. That way, your daughter won’t feel like she missed her shower, and she’ll have the joy of having baby there, healthy with her.

Elf: Music From The Major Motion Picture $5.93 It takes a pretty deft touch to make us believe towering Will Ferrell as a displaced human cum Santa’s elf, Ed Asner as St. Nick and make a Christmas movie that’s as loopy/sassy as it is seasonally sentimental. Yet that’s what director Jon Favreau has done with this unlikely little holiday gem, and his hand-picked song score underscores its warm heart and comedic smarts with charm to burn. Suffuse… |

Disney Baby Lullaby: Favorite Sleepytime Songs for Baby and You $3.24 Lullabies lend themselves to woozy re-creations, a sort of endless repetition that flags under the weight of the concept (putting kids to bed for their much-needed sleep) and the lack of weight accorded to the music. You might expect a Disney lullaby collection to be on a par with the most mediocre collections, but this one is really a fine set. The tunes are standard–from the famous “Brahms Lull… |
