Oh I am so off the ball. I have the end of the school year fast approaching and have been working on gifts for the 3 teachers, 3 therapists and 2 para pro's - eeeep! - totally forgetting one of the therapists is going on maternity leave in 2 WEEKS!

I bought a darling little outfit from Old Navy but wanted to give something WAHM made too. Ideas? Needs to be in stock and available to ship this coming week. Oh and not too pricey, I think I have hit the bottom of my budget already with all the other goodies.

Here are some ideas:

Hairbows with headbands incase baby is bald.
Those monthly stickers for baby's shirt (on etsy).
A little hat.
Soft soled shoes (though they may be a little too much for your budget)
OBV washclothes for baby or mom Smile
A couple burp clothes in fun prints (You could probably make those quickly.)

That's all I can think of right now.

Oh I am totally getting those month stickers, love those! I also made her a bib and may whip up a matching burp cloth too.

Can't go wrong with burp cloths! We still use them even without babies in the house, but I'm sure it's the same for you.

I love those stickers too. So fun! I forgot to add that Piggy Paint is fun too. They sell it at Walmart now in these tiny bottles. I think they're $3 for 2 paints. It's in the nailpolish section.

Oh, I'm heading there for the polish. DD bites her nails so terribly that I rarely let her wear most polish because they're so harsh and obviously not intended for ingestion. Not that Piggy Paint is either but at least it's non-toxic, lol.
