Pexels

Did you know that around 1.5 million people register for a baby shower each year in the United States?
Baby showers are a fun way to celebrate the baby before they are born and to help prepare the expecting parents.
If you have recently been invited to a baby shower and want to surprise the new parents, there are many gifts to consider.
Continue reading to discover the best baby shower gift for your friends and family that will actually get used!
 
Baby Book
If you are looking for a baby shower gift that will help hold memories, a baby book is an excellent choice.

Many modern parents are using baby books to record important details about pregnancy and experiences. These books are special gifts for both the parents and the child, who can later look at the book.

Try looking for a baby book that has easy-to-fill-in pages and areas to post pictures. As the baby grows up, this will become a scrapbook that is all about them. If you want to enhance this gift, you could consider buying a nice set of pens to write with and a washi tape to hold the pictures.


Pacifier Holder
Every newborn checklist should include pacifier holders because they are so helpful.

Pacifier holders can vary in style and design so the choice is up to you. A lot of people are recommending snuggle pacifier holders that have a small stuffed animal attached. Not only are these pacifier holders easy to find, but they also help entertain the baby while they are sucking away.

Other types of pacifier holders that are good to get come in canvas, cotton, or silicone material. A popular option right now is the silicone holders because the baby can chew on them while they are teething. They are also easy to clean and don't stain like the cotton and canvas options.

 
Swaddles & Blankets
New parents can never have enough swaddles and blankets for their little ones.

The newborn baby will often be wrapped up in a flannel blanket or swaddle after they are born. These help keep the baby warm and comfortable since they will now be exposed to colder air and AC units.

You can find a variety of cute blankets made of soft materials that will keep the baby cozy. Many people recommend getting onesies that use velcro because the parent doesn't have to learn how to burrito-wrap their child.
 
Variety of Clothing
Smart parents will put a variety of clothing on their registries to help ease the amount that they have to buy.

Many people recommend ordering from Hanna Andersson for cute clothes for both boys and girls. This brand makes durable clothing for any time of the year. Make sure that when you buy baby clothes, you get a variety of sizes.

Parents often complain that newborn clothing gets unused because they have so much of it. Try getting sizes of clothing up to 18 months so that the parents have options to choose from as the baby grows.

Onesies, sleepers, and socks are excellent gifts for baby showers. You can find cute options if you know the gender, or opt for gender-neutral clothing.

 
Baby Bottles
One of the best gifts that you can get for expecting parents are bottles.

When buying bottles for a baby, check the registry to see if the parents have a specific style in mind. It is good to buy bottles in sets of 2. This is because the baby might not like a certain design and having 10 bottles in the same style might waste money.

Try getting a variety of bottles. Make sure that you pay attention to the nipple sizes as well. Newborn babies will use a size 1 and as they start drinking more, they will graduate to level 2. Glass bottles are perfect for eco-friendly parents and help prevent exposure to toxic chemicals found in plastic.

 
Hats & Headbands
If you are looking for fun newborn gifts, you should think about getting hats and headbands.

Headbands are perfect for parents who are waiting on their little girl to arrive. They often come with big bows, pretty fabric, and other eye-catching details. Small baseball caps are perfect for little boys, so you could always consider them if your friends are big sporting fans.

Whether you are buying for a boy or girl, cotton hats are always helpful for new parents. Little cotton hats help protect the baby's head from the sun and can be worn any time of the year. Try looking for a variety pack so that the parents can match the hats with their outfits.

 
Personal Baby Carrier
If you are buying a baby shower gift for a couple that is always on the go and active, a personal baby carrier is an excellent gift.

Personal baby carriers and wraps are worn by the parents on their chest or back. These allow the parent to hold the baby close to them while still freeing up their hands and arms. Parents who have multiple children also benefit from these so that they can handle multiple things at once.

You can find baby holders in cotton wraps or get a style that fits more like a backpack.


Find the Best Baby Shower Gift
If you are looking for a good baby shower gift that will get used, there are many options to choose from.

Whether you want to get a variety of sizes in clothing, toys, or newborn essentials, there is a long list to get inspiration from. Even if you don't know the gender of the baby, many of these items can be bought for both. Don't be afraid to think outside of the box and get something unique.

The best way to help the parents is by getting them something that is on or related to their registry. Take time to look at it so that you don't double-gift.

5 Security Measures To Keep Your Home Safe





A home should be a place of comfort, where you feel the safest and most secure. It’s where you build memories, keep belongings and other personal items, play and talk with your family, and just relax after a long day. While it’s your most comfortable place, thieves and organized burglar groups may see your home as a target, compromising your and your family’s security.


Avoid bad things from happening to your home with easy-to-follow security measures.

1. Invest in high-quality locks and knobs
Be it in your front gate, main door, or bedroom door, install only high-quality locks and knobs. They’re on the pricier side, but they’re worth the investment in keeping your home safe. Purchase only from trusted brands as they’re crafted by security professionals, so they’re less likely to get duplicated for burglary.

2. Install bright outdoor lights
It’s no surprise that most thefts happen at night because it’s dark. Most people can’t see clearly in the dark, that's why most break-ins go unnoticed. To minimize the chances of burglary during the night, install bright outdoor lights so you can see if anyone is trespassing your property. Thieves are also less likely to attempt a robbery when they see a well-lit house.

3. Soundproof your walls whenever applicable
It’s only natural for families to discuss confidential information, involving their finances and valuables, inside the home. However, unwanted people may eavesdrop in your conversations, revealing this information without you knowing. Whenever applicable, soundproof your walls. It’s also on the pricier side but it’s surely worth the price.

4. Install locks on your windows too
Aside from the doors and gates, windows can also be an entry point for burglars. No matter how small the window is, even if they’re simply for vents, install locks in them. Whenever you leave the room, don’t forget to close the curtains too. It keeps your place private from nosy people that may take a peek into your home unwantedly.

5. Avoid posting on social media while on vacation
Your home is the most vulnerable whenever you’re away. During vacation when you have to leave your home unattended for up to a week, thieves may use this timeframe to break into your home. By posting publicly on social media, you’ll essentially be alerting the robbers that may have been waiting for the right opportunity. If you really want to update your friends and family, tweak the post settings to show only with your family, close friends, and relatives.

One of the essentials to consider when buying a house is, of course, family safety. Are you an OFW who’s constantly worried about your family’s safety back at home? Or maybe you’re a light sleeper at night as you are conscious of someone breaking in your house and you have to stay alert?

Fret not as BellaVita takes quality very seriously in its development. Every community is guarded and enclosed in a perimeter fence. Security of the homeowners is the utmost priority; stringent protocols are carried out upon entering BellaVita. The community also has roving security to ensure the safety of the homeowners 24/7.

For as low as PHP 1,887 monthly, you get to acquire a safe space for you and your family.


Indeed, this is a very affordable quality living experience for priceless family safety!

Those good old things

 I'm in my 30's and in our technology right now, how fast the internet we have. Everything is automatic and people are always on their phone scrolling, playing, and or working. Sometimes I just wanna sit down and think of how simple my life was when I was in my teen years. Think of all the good memories, having flashbacks, and activities that make me smile. A nostalgia feeling, but life must go on I won't stick my life on memories it just makes me sad, you know. Speaking of nostalgia, just discover this gaming site that fits my mood. It offers classic games that I know you can relate to and bring your good memories too. 

So, when I have my free time I find myself at www.solitaire.org , you will find here the classic solitaire we used to playback then.  Because I have been busy these days, I find it entertaining, I really enjoyed playing here it's a stress reliever for me. Did I mention that it's free to play here? 



Classic and challenging game, the simple rule is to stack cards into sequences.

These days, works are less exhausting for me I don't feel any tiredness not like before because whenever I have a short break I play games. Maybe that's one way to lessen the stress is that we also need to give our self a break, just like me. If I feel that I needed little rest I just rest, let us not be hard on our self. We only have one life. 

So, I shared this site with my friend and cousin and because we played these games back then we enjoyed playing them again. 

Sharing with you some games that I love to play =)

Play China Temple: Free Online Hidden Objects Game


The rule of this game is to find the hidden things, and of course, it has a timer so you need to find them faster. I need to use my glasses when I am playing it hahaha! yes, I am that serious. It has also 10 levels that are so enjoyable to play. It's classic too right I remember I played like this one on an old phone way back year 2000's. 

Free Online Zuma Legend Match 3 Video Game


The rule is to create three or more colors to remove them from the chain and it has a hundred levels, you must win the level before you can proceed to the next level. 

There are so many things that give me good memories and honestly, I am enjoying classic things like these games. 

There's no need to subscribe or pay because I can play and enjoy these games for free, now on my bookmark. I think they have 100+ more free games not sure but if you wanna try free games just try it for yourself.
