For my SIL bridal shower I read a poem that had household products that corresponded to certain words (ex: Joy to my life went with Joy dishsoap, etc.). And as I read the poem I held up (one by one) a laundry basket FULL of gifts!! Everyone LOOOOOVED it!

I KNOW there is one out there for babies but I can't find it to save my life..only one I found is $6.99!!!!

Anyone have this poem and are you willing to share it? PLLLEASE!!!! Driving me nuts!

Seriously.

Thanks!!

What to Expect the First Year (The Shower Gift Poem)

Here are some ideas for the [Parents (magazine)] - to – be
The [formula] for nurturing your sweet new baby
The [light (night light)] of your lives, your baby's nearly here
Soon you both* can [Snuggle (fabric softener)] and hold your baby near
Those first sweet cries will be [music (cassette tape of lullabyes)] to your ears
Hold your wee one close, tell your baby ["No More Tears" (Johnson's Baby Shampoo)]
To [bond (Gold Bond baby powder)] with your new baby, every day and every night
The [keys (baby teething keys)] are love and kindness, soft touches are just right
You can [Pamper (Pampers diapers)] your new bundle, who needs to feel secure
Your little [lamb (stuffed animal)] will love you, of that you can be sure
As the [apple (jar of baby food)] of your eyes, your baby can be free
To learn about the world in a bright safe [nurser (Playtex nurser)]-y
Please try not to [Shout (stain remover)] if your baby makes a fuss
It's your [Child (magazine)]'s way of learning to be like the rest of us
We hope you have enjoyed these [tips (Q-tips)] for family
We're certain that parenthood will suit you to a [tee (t-shirt)].

Here's another one that goes on a diaper cake:

Ingredients & Instructions: ( you can use any baby items )

Start with a Teddy Bear sent with love,
Fluff up two wash mittens that fit like a glove,
Pour in two rattles for baby's first toy,
Mix with a ribbon, that says, "It's A Boy!"
Spray on powder, lotion, baby wash, & shampoo,
Next go the diaper rash cream, all travel sizes for you!
Add a pair of tiny socks to cover toes as the wiggle,
Fold in a teether bib should your baby dribble,
Blend the brush & comb set for the little tyke,
Swirl with a Rocking Horse frame - who will he look like?
Stir with a feeding spoon to keep the cake neat,
Sprinkle with 3 different pacifiers to make it look sweet,
Combine a cabinet lock to keep out the little tot,
Use this tub thermometer so water doesn't get to hot,
Join a fork & spoon set, for solid food...yum, yum,
Put in a animal teether for a soar gum,
Place some baby hangers, for his cute little outfits
Wisk in a medi-syringe for when illness hits.
Hold the nail clippers when trimming comes along,
Fill 1 baby bottle hidden in the middle where it belongs!
Spread with a set from 'Suzy Zoo', some booties & a cap,
Keep baby's bottle near with this handy bottle strap
Mingle in the Chime Toothbrush to make brushing fun,
Whip in a pair of shoes; he'll soon be on the run!!
Beat with 56 disposable diapers you can throw away.
Unfold to fit 8-14 pound baby’s night & day!!

Had never heard of those, they are great!! I might have to throw a baby shower soon for my DHs cousing girlfriend (that was a mouthful) and that is an awesome idea! thanks for posting

I have some other baby shower games save on my computer that I can email you if you PM me.

Who's my Mommy? (match animal babies to the mothers)
Old Wives Tales Trivia (if old wives tale means you are having boy or girl)
Baby shower around the world (Match word for baby with country)
People bingo (fill in bingo square by matching people w/description- great icebreaker)

Let me know if you want any of these. I worked hard on them and would like to see them used instead of sitting unloved on my hard drive!
