Baby Gifts Blog

It is predicted that we Australians will exchange or return  $1 billion dollars worth of unwanted christmas gifts this year. According to the research commissioned by eBay, that figure does not include the  26% of unwanted gifts that people pass off to someone else as a present. It’s called regifting. It seems that Jerry Seinfeld coined the phrase in the episode titled The Label Maker, which first aired on January 19, 1995. (now there’s something you didnt know!)

I found this online game called “regifting robin”. I couldn’t stop. Give it a go.

It was my sister’s baby shower today, and 40 degrees in Sydney. The truth be known, I could have done with a shower myself! I was in charge of games, and I wanted to share my game triumph with you.

I called it “Baby Masterchef”. It was somewhat of at “taste test” for baby food. I had four pots. Each had a number.  And four baby spoons. I spooned a small amount of each tub onto the back of the attendees hands (one at a time!) and they had to correctly list the ingredients. I told them how many ingredients were in each one. I was like Matt, George and Gary all rolled into one.

They key to this game was finding exotic baby food. I was amazed at what Coles had to offer.  Tub 1 had “Spinach, broccoli, Apple and peas” tub 2 was a gourmet ‘Pumpkin, apple and sweetcorn”. Tub 3 would have been nice with a dash of white rum (Pear, banana and mango) as a dacquari, but tub 4 was a dud. It appears that Heinz organic oats with fig and sultanas tastes like nothing.

This has nothing to do with my baby gift business, but it is cupcake related…

I found this cupcake game online. Look, I am not much of a gamer, and have decorated my share of cupcakes for kids parties in the past. How hard could it be, I asked myself?

Challenging, and highly addictive would be my response!

I think this game warrants a link in my right margin (that only happens to special links…)
