As you prepare for the big day, check out these newborn baby gift ideas. What unique and needed items are out there for you to use when your baby is first born?

For this special occasion, most people choose to buy baby clothes, bibs, and cute toys. What else is out there, that mother’s have found creative and useful? The best newborn baby gift ideas are the ones that come from the heart and you get a great deal of usage.

One of the most important newborn gift to get is a baby car seat. After all, the baby does have to get home from the hospital in a safe and cuddly way.

Other unique newborn baby gift ideas.

1. Personalized Items are great ways to help establish your baby’s name in the world. You could get things like a baby blanket or toy that has their name on it. Don’t forget to get a baby book to help capture all the important information of your baby as he or she grows so fast each day. If you feel like you do not have time to do that, make sure you at least write down all the milestone moments (like the date when your baby first walked or ate solid foods.)

2. A Baby night light that matches the baby nursery to help your child feel safe at night.

3. Cute and different baby cribs can help set your nursery apart and have a great focal point for the room. You could even get the crib that grows with the child as they get older and turns into a regular adult bed. What a way to get great use out of that item and it be a very personalized bed as it becomes a lasting memory for them as they grow.

4. It may seem like a luxury, but it is also a necessity for the new mothers who do not want to feel guilt and shame later. You are a busy mother, yet you do not want to miss out on the memories of your child (especially their milestone moments). How cool would it be to share with your baby, years later when he or she is grown up, about what life was like when they were a child? Save time and energy and save their favorite toy, first baby blanket, or shoes in a decorative Baby Time Capsules. It is a faster way to preserve your baby’s memories, compared to scrapbooking. You can get your own cute and unique Baby Time Capsule here.

5. Don’t forget the baby stroller. This is something that is needed soon too. You may even be a great friend to someone pregnant and buy their first weeks worth of groceries so they do not have to get out with the newborn. What a great gesture that would be for the mother.

6. Picture frames for those first newborn baby photos.

7. Other necessities include a Nursing pillow to help you nurse your newborn baby. Don’t forget to throw in a peaceful baby music cd for the mother and newborn to listen to, helping the baby fall back asleep.

8. A baby changing mat or table is very important as you will be changing diapers from day one. Include some extra onesies, as the mother will be changing the newborn quite often at first.

9. A diaper bag with all the necessities are also a great gift idea. Include nursing pads, hand sanitizer, diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, toys, etc.

10. A cradle or bouncer with a cute, soft blanket is nice for the newborn too. If you can find one that vibrates it helps your baby fall asleep.

11. Look for a fun play mat to help your newborn baby discover the world of toys and stimulate their brain.

12. Get a baby monitor, so you can always know what is going on with the baby no matter what room you are in.

13. Nursing covers or nursing nightgowns are great to have when the baby is first born too. You will also want to get a breast feeding pump, especially if you are a busy, working mother. It will save you time.

14. Get many burp cloths and bibs so you never have to run out and waste your time washing.

15. The famous baby gift baskets are always fun to put together and give to a mother with a newborn. There are always important newborn necessities you need the first week a baby is born. You can never have too many diapers, so you could also make a diaper cake for the mother. You are guaranteed that this gift will be used. You can include things like the diapers, baby lotion, bottle, pacifier, blanket, baby powder, onesies, socks, etc. Be creative and have fun putting together your basket of love.

We live in a world where anything is possible, good or bad. We never know from day to day what will happen in our lives. I was at a baby shower this past Saturday for my sister-in-law excited to be an aunt again. Then on the drive home, I passed a funeral home with a family saying their goodbye’s to someone they loved. Talk about going from one extreme of emotions to the next out of respect for someone’s loved one lost. Then, it had me thinking, we really never know when we will leave this earth after being born. How do we treasure and preserve our items to pass on to generations left? One great item to preserve is a baby hand print from the first year of our life.

Your hand is not just a hand. It is a physical representation of many things:

• A hand is used for writing cards, love notes, stories, letters, essays, filling out paperwork for kids to go to school, or for work.
• A hand is used to play beautiful music, play sports, or play the radio for some of us who are musically inclined (myself)
• A hand is used to give someone a pat on the back, shake another person’s hand you just met at work, school, business seminar, a future mentor, etc.
• A hand is a representation of many milestone moments in our lives, as we are born and first learn to grip things, first learn how to drive using our hands, get married and a ring is put on our hand, etc.
• A hand is used to bake that traditional family recipe, every holiday.
• A hand is used to accomplish tasks, save lives, build things, or make projects for work or home.
• A hand is used to tell stories (as many of us talk with our hands – guilty).
• A hand is used to help show love to others, or express other non-verbal communication. For some, who are deaf, they rely on others hands to communicate everything.



Introducing New Product: Baby’s Hand Print Kit

I am sure you can think of other important meanings or uses of the hand. So how do we save such a precious hand, before it grows up and journey’s through the many uses of it’s life? Save your baby’s hand print in a hand print kit from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/milestone-collection-babys-hand-print-kit/.

What are we going to name her? I don’t know, how about you make a list of names you like, and I will make a list of names I like, then we will come together and compare. Let’s see if we have any similarities on our list, then we will choose the best name we like together over dinner somewhere nice. I know this is a common conversation at many other homes around the world, for parents who are about to have a baby. Choosing a baby name, is a difficult decision to make, especially if you want the name to have a special meaning. It is a name your child will have for the rest of their life.

What’s in a Name?

To many, your child’s name is the beginning of their life resume. It may be a name that continues the heritage of your family. There are also many stories, or memories with friends that come to mind when we hear certain names. When you decide on a name, it is like pre-writing the resume of your child. Some people wait till their child is born, to look at him or her physically and emotionally, and then decide on a name that fits his or her personality. When we hear a name, it is like looking back at his or her past self. A name can even be like a “Message to the Future” self of what life will be like for him or her. Start your child’s resume now, with a great and meaningful name. It is always interesting to see how much a child has grown over the years, and watch the character of their name come out more. The name you choose for your child is the precursor of asking “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Make a time capsule, which reflects your baby’s name and personality. Get a decorative Baby Time Capsule from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/babystimecapsule/.

How to Choose a Baby Name?

So where do you begin, to find that perfect name that just “fits?” There are many circumstances to think about for your child, in the future, when choosing their name. Check out this helpful article to help you narrow down your list of names at http://blog.thebump.com/2013/09/17/5-things-i-didnt-think-about-before-picking-a-baby-name-that-i-wish-i-had/. Many people want to know what names are trending. This may help you find a great name, but make sure you pick a name that has meaning to you and your child, not one that is just the latest trend. What is trendy now may not be a trend in the future.

Similar to the baby time capsule, what you save in your child’s time capsule now may not be popular years in the future. That is what makes the time capsule opening celebration so much fun. It is a way to re-live that time in the child’s world, and laugh as what we all thought was “in” or “cool” in the past. Make sure you save your list of names you went through in your child’s baby time capsule, so they see all the work you went through to name them, and see how close they would have been, to being called a girl name. What a laugh that will be in the future, when your child opens that time capsule at their graduation party for example, to see what life was like when he or she was born.

Learn how to show love to others on Valentine’s Day. Be the best at what matters most in whatever you do daily….Love. Love is what matters most in our daily life walk with our spouse, child, job, social time with friends, etc. We are all surprised when we receive letters in the mail, let alone a love letter from someone who deeply cares about us.

We here at The Original Time Capsule Company want to write our customers a love letter and say thank you with this blog of helpful ideas, on how you too can share love with others around you every day. Many milestone moments come from special days of showing or giving love to others whether through acts of service, friendship, laughter, support, acceptance, etc.

Valentine’s day is advertised as a day to sell candy, flowers, gifts, etc. We, at The Original Time Capsule company do not want you to forget that love, the main ingredient associated with Valentine’s day, needs to be the focus in everything we do, every day, not just on this holiday. Currently this world is so consumed with social media, working faster, harder, their status, and whether or not someone gave them a “Like.” This Valentine’s Day, we want you to slow down and push the “Love” button with friends and family.



Not everyone has that special someone to celebrate with on Valentine’s day, but everyone can love someone or something else on this day. Many times, we forget what it means to be loved, and need helpful tips or ideas of how to show that to someone else. Valentine’s Day can be helpful for that, especially for the guys who do not like this holiday.

It is in our best interest to show love at our jobs daily to others, which in turn gives love back to ourselves. It is easier to be around others when you show love to them, even when you do not feel like it. Here are some other great ideas of how to show your co-workers love. http://www.reporter-times.com/entertainment/parade/living/want-your-coworkers-to-love-you-try-these-tips/article_3c128fb7-bc16-5458-b6f0-6b4f60108dcf.html

For the Friends – Show Love:

Do you best, at what matters most when you are single on Valentine’s Day – Spending time with friends. It is vital to continue to give to yourself, so that you can continue to give love to others around you daily. So go spend time with yourself or friends and love on them with the helpful ideas from http://www.yourtango.com/2014206743/single-valentines-day-ideas-youll-love

Instead of making excuses why not to have Valentine’s Day, make excused to do your best and show love everyday with your spouse, family, job, friends, and yourself. Pay it forward – Love.

Instead:
– Make the excuse to spend much needed time with your hubby.
– Make the excuse to eat chocolate with friends and family
– Make the excuse to relax and enjoy a hobby away from your kids
– Make the excuse to slow dance in your living room, write a love letter, or record a video to say I love you to your spouse, friends, children, co-worker and thank them for all they have done and how they have shown you love.

Please leave a comment below on what you did for this Valentine’s week to push the “Love” button on someone else, and how you plan to show “Love” every day. We, “Like” that, as Facebook would say, but where is the “Love” it button when we need it.
