Avoid The Baby Blues- How To Find Brilliant Gifts For Baby Boys

It is so hard to tell, just by looking at its face, whether a young baby happens to be a boy or a girl. One real give away and very handy clue, however, is the fact that girl flying shark babies are nearly always dressed in pink of varying shades whilst boy babies are dressed in blue. This colour coding of our precious little tots is such a weird thing to do, although we accept it unquestioningly as the norm, a tradition, just something that we automatically fall air angry bird into doing. It does not stop at dressing our offspring when they are tiny though. Oh no. It continues into childhood and often beyond. All those little girls with cute pink skirts, hair slides, tights and shoes must be yearning for a touch of purple, orange, emerald green or even black, and the boys end up in all the shades of blue available until they are old enough to choose and purchase their own clothes. No wonder the colour that remains a favourite with adults of both sexes is black. It is so far removed from the enforced blues and pinks of childhood. So, when you are considering what to buy as a baby gift for a friend or family member who has just produced a lovely baby boy, my suggestion is that you steer clear of the colour blue. Blue is the first image that will pop into peoples' heads when they hear the news of the little chap's arrival, and blue is what they will not be able to see beyond as they make their baby gift selections. The dear child's parents will be utterly relieved to receive a baby gifts from you that is not blue, and unless you have been there and done that, you will not be able to appreciate just how overwhelming the new child's nursery becomes when it is piled with all those lovely and gratefully received but blue baby gifts that make the space rather claustrophobic.Do not panic as there are plenty of non-blue baby gifts for boys to think about. This new baby boy is, in his parent's eyes, the future prime minister, business whiz kid, inventor of all things necessary to mankind. He will doubtless be a star, and so a lovely baby gift to express his lofty status is an Engraved Star, beautifully shaped and measuring 11cm across. This baby gift can be personalised with your special message, perhaps the child's name and date of birth, or maybe something more quirky and will make a lovely decorative feature and lifelong keepsake. Who knows, this could end up on his desk at 10 Downing Street, but first he needs to learn to walk. If not prime minister, perhaps the little genius will be a famous and successful astronomer and it could be all down to your fabulous baby gift to him. To start him on his search for the stars, a Solar System Personalised Children's Story CD could turn out to be the perfect baby gifts and he will love hearing his name mentioned throughout the story as it lulls him to sleep at night. With songs and rhymes, he will not only be entertained and soothed, but will also be learning as he listens.This little baby boy will, like all babies, want something to hold and stroke, a comforter to help him get to sleep and make him feel safe. Instead of the usual bit of cloth, a wonderful baby gift for him is an Animal Comforter made in a soft fabric and personalised with his own name. Of course you can get him a blue hippo version, but if you want to avoid blue there is a really cute yellow duck comforter with a cheeky face which he is bound to bond with, probably until he is 15.Another soft and cuddly item that babies and children become attached to is their own special blanket. They drag them around with them all over the house and garden and you find that the only chance of washing these blankets is by prizing them out of the child's hand whilst he is asleep. So a Personalised Star Motif baby blanket makes a wonderful baby gift that is very useful but also a much loved possession of the little guy. In a refreshing red soft 100 polyester S107 RC helicopter lambskin fleece fabric, this baby gifts is washable, which is so important as it will go everywhere with baby. It can be used on his cot, buggy, in the car, in his playroom on the floor or even in the garden. With a huge star as its centre piece, personalised with his name, the world will know exactly who it belongs to. It comes in blue too.
