Questions From Our Awesome Customers - Gift Ideas for Baby Showers



Questions From Our Awesome Customers - Gift Ideas for Baby Showers

q: I'm going to a baby shower. The mom-to-be doesn't want to know if she's having a boy or girl? Any gift ideas?

a: Ahh. It's nice to know that some people still believe in the element of surprise.

Babies are a blessing, so we wish every mom-to-be a healthy and happy delivery!

We have cute gift ideas for the new bundle of joy. We love our baby spoons. Both boys and girls have to eat, so why not feed them with Beehive Kitchenware Company's lead-free pewter spoons that can be washed in mild soap (shown)? Who wouldn't coo over the baby pigs, chicks, rabbits and ducks featured on these adorable spoons?

Also, our silver-plated baby banks and picture frames,and "Mommy & Me" (shown), and fabric picture frames are great gifts. Pregnancy and baby journals are also a popular item among the "mom-crowd".

We have a great local woman who embroiders burp cloths. They're soft, cuddly and come in colors that are fit for any new prince or princess.

And don't forget the mom. We have gifts to pamper her and make her feel special as she winds down her last months of pregnancy. Bringing an extra gift (which of course, doesn't have to be expensive) for the woman of the hour is always a nice touch.

Be Sweet!

Questions from Cute Buttons' Customers - How Do We Say 'No Gifts, Please'?


q: My uncle and his fiance both are in their 70s and are getting married this year! They don't want their guests to buy them gifts because they feel they have enough stuff to last them two lifetimes. How do we help them let their guests know not to bring gifts?


a: Who says young love is where it's at? Love the second time around is sooooo sweet.

It can never be said enough.It's not acceptable to put "no gifts" on your wedding invitations. By the way, it's also not acceptable to put your registry on your invitation either, but we digress. We worked with a couple who didn't want gifts, nor did they want anything donated in their name for a charity. We printed "Your presence is the only gift we request" on their reception card. Short, but to the point. We recommend the same language ~ or some variation of it ~ for your uncle and his bride-to-be. Also, word of mouth is the other acceptable option. You can help them let friends + families know of their wishes.

Of course, there are going to be people who feel like a party is not a party if they don't bring a gift. That's okay, because that's on them. Remind your relatives to be gracious and by all means, make sure that guest is thanked appropriately.

Please be sure to save a piece of wedding cake for us!


Be Sweet!
