Favorite Gifts

If you haven't heard, it's baby making season. I feel like I have a friend a day announce they are pregnant. Unfortunately my crafting time has been limited these days so I've been forced to go with store bought gifts. When it was wedding season I usually stuck to the registry. Although one of my personal favorite gifts was a non-registry item, a le creuset casserole dish. But with babies, and me living all the way in Boston, I tend to venture off the registries and find something that will fit in a cute little package.

An easy idea for all my Tennessee friends is anything baby sized and orange. I was perusing the Allmodern.com site today for a client when I decided to take a break and click on the baby gear section. Look how cute...

Baby Star Soy Organic Buddha Onesie in Tangerine

Swaddle Designs Ultimate Receiving Blanket in Orange Mod Circles on White

This would be a very good shower gift, right Tennessee people? And both are right around $20.

What are some favorite gifts you have given or received that were not on a registry?

Oh Boy! Baby Shower

celebrating the upcoming arrival of Baby Watson...

{I made the bunting out of some scrap fabric and ribbon, pretty simple. I used my new pinking shears, very fun! I cut the little letters out of contact paper. I love them. Need to have another boy baby shower soon so I can have a reason to leave them up}

We made cupcakes and got to use the icing gun I got for Christmas {thanks Jason and Gina!}

lots and lots of cupcakes

This is how you get a little boy to a co-ed baby shower.

This is how you get big boys. {don't they look like they're having fun!}

The most helpful man in the world maned the grill all night.
Tip to anyone planning a cookout-type shower...start grilling burgers before the
company arrives.
