This gift is too good not to share!
Most baby showers are full of car seats, cribs, rockers, layettes, nursery decor and more.
What about giving that mom-to-be something a little different?
I received this email about a unique baby shower gift and had to share it with you all. This is not only funny, but so unique that you are bound to have that one gift that is always remembered.
Gift cards aren’t the most exciting thing to see opened at a baby shower, but if you add to them a bit with products like we have below you are sure to have the most unique gift at the party!
The DIY Newborn Survival Kit:
(Most of these items can be purchased at your local dollar store.
- Rain Pancho: Hazmat Suit (use during meal times and diaper changes).
- Safety Goggles: Protect eyes from accidental sprinkles on the changing table.
- Face Mask: Protection against toxic fumes during diaper changes.
- Industrial Strength Gloves: Help avoid touching bio-hazard waste material.
- Turkey Baster: Remember to get every crack and fold!
- Long Handled Tongs: To keep those stinky diapers far away.
- Diaper Disposal Bags: Bio-hazard Waste Material Disposal Bags.
- 1 Diaper: You’ll need more…
- Baby Wipes: Cleans bottoms, hands and faces while doubling as a baby sponge bath!
- Ear Plugs: Use at night and during the day, as necessary.
- Pacifier: Mute Button.
- Energy Drink: When sleep has evaded you.
- Condoms: So you don’t have to do this again in the near future.

Use your own creative genius to add more items to the kit. Pack everything into the basket and wrap it with cellophane and a pretty bow. Later on, the mom-to-be can use the basket as a diaper caddie. Don’t forget to throw in the gift card. You can place it inside the card attached to or tucked into the basket. Gift cards can be purchased from CardAvenue.com.
