bloomers diaper cakes

In case we haven't been clear, we luv it when practicality meets style, and few shower gifts do it as well as a Bloomers Baby Diaper Cakes. Bloomers Baby Diaper Cakes make layers of disposable Luvs diapers look gorgeous and elegant. Yes, we said gorgeous and elegant. Layers of diapers are perfectly tied with grosgrain ribbon, tulle, satin, or even bandanas (their 'western' style), then decorated with fine silk flowers, served on a silver scalloped cake platter, and topped with a keepsake porcelain baby block. To complete the presentation, the cakes are wrapped in delicate white tulle, tied with a satin bow, and secured by an old-fashioned diaper pin. A tasteful gift for any shower!

What haven't we told you about great shower gifts? That you need to stock up on, maybe even stockpile, Lorraine Fisher's book, "What Haven't They Told Me?; Practical Tips for Surviving and Thriving During Baby's First Year." Practical, cute, witty and actually quite genius, this book is a great gift for new mommies and veteran mommies alike. Did you have so many newborn diapers, and 0-3 month outfits, that you could have made a sizable second income by ebaying them all? Did you buy five different parenting books, only to realize that relying on common sense would have been a whole lot cheaper? So did we, but with a quick read of "What Haven't They Told Me?" our friends don't have to! We love this gift!
