What one item did you recieve at your baby shower that you loved? I really liked my baby bathtub. I used it until he just couldn't fit in it anymore. And I got some adorable handmade blankets and things. But what I really used the most was wipes and Playtex bottles. Also Wal-Mart and Target gift cards. I got several small ones and combined them to get something I really wanted (an open-top swing).
What one item was of no use to you? Just one??? Well, I got a tape player that hooked onto the side of the crib. I have no idea what possessed MIL to get it. It was flimsy and didn't hook on the way it was supposed to. I was afraid it would fall off on his head or something. Also a diaper wipe warmer. I thought it was going to really warm the wipes, but it just took the chill out of them and they were cold again as soon as the air hit them.
What did you like about your decorations? I had two showers. One at church and one at work. One of our friends at church decorated the cake to match the napkins and cups she'd picked out, which was cute. But it just wasn't my taste. My shower at work didn't have any decorations. Just a really nice cake.
What did you not like about the decorations? Well, there really weren't any decorations. The one at church was a little disorganized. The invitations were Mickey Mouse. The cake and napkins were rocking horses. And everything was purple. And purple isn't exactly one of my favorite colors.
What would you have done to make your shower better if you could have? Most of the games we played at my shower were all done on paper. So, they weren't too bad. But one thing that bothered me a little was that they didn't ask me about any of my preferences. They made a punch that had pineapple juice in it. I couldn't have the pineapple, so I ended up drinking water, which kind of offended the hostess, but I couldn't have it without getting sick.
Overall, I had pretty nice showers, so I can't complain too much.
