New Mum Must Haves

My friend had a baby shower recently and having to shop for a gift is always a bit of hit and miss. You don’t know what the mother-to-be needs and you don’t know what else everyone is getting. While a lot of people are setting up baby registers to limit the double gifts here is a list of things that new mums need.

If you know other people attending the baby shower then you can chip in and get an assortment of gifts. I like to go with picking some things from the ‘essentials’ below and then something fun like toys or nursery decorations.

Post a comment if you think there are other things that would make good presents

Happy Baby Shopping

Valentines Day Gift Ideas for him

Wallets, Belts, Boxers
It’s the safe gift, a boy can never say no to a wallet, belt or a new pair of boxers. You can even get those novelty boxers with an elephant at the frontand make it a fun gift as well as a useful one.

Games – PSP, PS2, PS3#, xBox, Wii etc.
I’m not sure whether you want to go down this option, you might not see your man for a while, but if you are seriously thinking of a gift he’ll enjoy then you can’t go past a good game. Most places are good at recommending games based on what he’s is currently playing or one of his favourite gamegames. As long as you choose a recent release I’m sure he’ll be happy!

Something for the car
If your man is a car fanatic then it would be good to get something for his car. It’s a bit hard only because boys are very particular about their cars. Get something he’is either been looking for or find out from one of his car buddies what he’s been talking about. If all else fails, alternatively try get a gift card from places such as e.g. Repco or Supercheap Auto.

Adventure
Want something different? Is your man an adventure junkie? Then take a look at Freeman X, they offer a wide range of activities anything from a rally circuit ride to out door rock climbing. Best of all you can do it together and we’ll call it a date!

Gadgets
Boys and their toys. Have , do you seen how excited they get when they have a new toy? Check out www.zazz.com.au, www.catchoftheday.com.au, or www.gadgetcentral.com.au for some really cool toys at really good prices!

Sports gear
Guys love their sports – whether it’s playing sports, watching sports or creating their own sport., you should know what sport he follows and hopefully what team he supports. Rebel Sports online store offers a wide range of sporting equipments and offers a wide variety range of team merchandise for all types of sports. Alternatively get him to pick up a sport or upgrade his gear. It’s not only an awesome gift but a great way to show your support and keep him fit.

Hope this helps girls.

Digital Photo Frames

This has become really popular in the last few years, it’s definitely a great gift to give if you’re already in a relationship and have a few photos together. You can buy a digital photo frame, load your photos and take it up a notch by playing her favorite song in the background.

Clothes

This one is really hard, but if you get it right it’s like 100 brownie points. Never assume just because you like it that she will, it can be as simple as the size of the button that she might not like or the whole garment. Or just imagine you buy the wrong size? That’s like -200 brownie points. Bring her best friend out to go shopping to choose something nice, worst case you can always blame her best friend

Ugg Boots

Autumn is coming and winter isn’t too far behind. We girls love our Ugg Boots and we’ll wear them all time if we could. Grab a great deal during the off season at Ugg Boots Australia and save up to 60%.

Bookworm

If your girl is a bookworm then can’t go past Amazon for the latest or biggest range of books. If you don’t know what she wants then select one of her favourite books and then let Amazon recommend something for you. Can’t get easier than that can it?

Hope this helps boys!
