A Great Baby Shower Gift!

02.25.2010 by Girl on Fire // 5 Comments

I usually always give the same thing at every shower I go to.  I base it on what the most useful things I ever got at a shower were as well as what I wish I had gotten.  Practical useful items.

One thing I always start off with is a small Laundry basket.  Usually a small wicker one, or a very small round plastic one, such as the organizing ones you find at a dollar store.  Then I buy Johnson & Johnson baby products.  Johnson & Johnson are one of those companies that we are all familiar with and associate with babies. I usually pick the traditional Pink Baby Lotion, Gold Baby Shampoo, Head-To-Toe Wash, Baby Powder, Baby Oil and Desitin.  I also usually add a baby detergent for washing the babies clothing .  I always include baby hangers!  Baby hangers are one of those gifts that no one thinks of.  I fill it with a few more small items, line the basket with a nice baby blanket for a nice completely useful baby gift.DSC_0002

Did you know that you can also use the Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder for deodorant for you and even to help you out when you don’t have time to wash your hair?  The powder will help get rid of that oily look.  Trust me…new moms have a hard time finding time for a shower!

Oh!  Did you know that Johnson’s recently expanded its Bedtime line with a new Bedtime Bubble Bath & Wash? It’s formulated with Naturalcalm essences which is a unique blend of soothing aromas to help babies sleep better. I wish they had developed that when I had my babies! It smells soooo good.  In fact, when I am done with this post, this mama is taking herself a Naturalcalm essences infused bath…I need it!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Johnson’s and received samples of Johnson’s Baby products to facilitate my review.
