Emily just went to an international baby shower, where each of the guests had to give the mother-to-be some advice. Sheesh. That's kind of tough, but a fun, personalized gift is easy.
This one is my favorite. More and more trendy stores are carrying baby onesies with clever sayings (I love the ones on wrybaby.com), single words, or simple pictures of fairies and butterflies.
Yes, they're cute, but why pay $40? Follow these three steps instead.
1) Go buy some plain white onesies and the iron -on paper at your local office store.
2) Print funny sayings, single words in foreign languages, or amusing photos on the paper. When Emily and Charlie went to welcome a new niece, they took pictures of themselves plugging their noese and pointing down, as if they were smelling a diaper.
3) Following the instructions, iron your embellishments on the onesie, enjoying the seductive smell that always takes me back to the iron-on T-shirt shops of my childhood. Hey, why not do one with a unicorn jumping over a rainbow-colored baby carriage?

If you're hosting a baby shower, that "give the Mom advice game" is great, except if YOU"RE NOT A MOM. What kind of advice are you going to give? "Hey, I hear babies like chicken nuggets", "If you're hiring a baby sitter, don't hire me!"
It's like going to someone else's college reunion. Everyone is really nice, and it's a nice time, but most of the time, you have no idea what they're talking about.
