When we were struggling with infertility I got a lion pendant. My grandma used to call me her little lion because I was quiet but had a big strong heart. I wore it a lot and to me it reminded me of my inner strength and courage but to everyone else it just looked like a lion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-jewelry#post-2818518 Thu, 26 Apr 2018 06:59:22 +0000 afc061018 2818518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While it's not a fertility symbol, my friend got me this to remind me to take things one day at a time on our TTC journey.

I ended up buying almost everything I need for a bathtime bucket (Thanks @Cole for the bucket rather than bathtub idea!). I ended up getting:<br /> -two hooded towels<br /> -washcloths that she registered for<br /> -the bathtub spout cover and elbow pad that she registered for<br /> -the cups that @Mrs. Pickle suggested and,<br /> -Bathtime for twins (thanks @twodoghouse!)<br /> Now all I need to do is find a cute bucket to throw it all into and I'm ready! I did go a little over budget, but wanted to include the items that she actually registered for. And it was much cheaper than the first aid items that I had looked at on amazon. </p> <p>Easiest present I've ever purchased. Thanks guys!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-twin-baby-shower-gift-please#post-2672901 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 13:59:00 +0000 twodoghouse 2672901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love doing a first aid basket. I usually include: nose frida nasal aspirator, baby saline spray, boogie wipes, aquaphor, some burp cloths, some baby lotion, maybe pacifiers if the mom to be has registered for a brand, some onesies (because who can resist tiny baby clothes?), some Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple cream, and a book. If you're looking for twin books, we like Bathtime for Twins, Playtime for Twins, and Fraturtles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-twin-baby-shower-gift-please#post-2672897 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 13:43:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2672897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received a first aid basket at my shower and it was so nice not to have to run to the pharmacy the first time DD got sick. @Cole's suggestions are spot on for that. </p> <p>If you go with a bathtub basket I like these cups for rinsing hair. DD likes to play with them too.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0041RRX6M/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1483382488&#038;sr=8-1-fkmr0&#038;keywords=skip+hop+bird+stacking+cups" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0041RRX6M/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1483382488&#038;sr=8-1-fkmr0&#038;keywords=skip+hop+bird+stacking+cups</a></p> <p>Another useful basket idea is feeding for when they start solids. In my experience moms to be don't get a lot of gear for that since it happens once the babies get older. You could get some bowls, spoons, straw or sippy cups, bibs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-twin-baby-shower-gift-please#post-2672890 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 13:18:19 +0000 Cole 2672890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like you could do a bath time basket or a first aid basket for within your budget and have a really nice gift. Unless she registered for one within your price point I'd skip the bath tub and just get a bucket that could work too store bath toys and fill that. You could do body wash, cream, sponges, baby washcloths, bath toys, bubbles, little baby towels (feel free to skip these though, they mostly suck in my opinion)- Ikea has little bath towel ponchos for cheap and they are awesome. Add a big cup for hair rinsing and maybe one of those knee pad things too. </p> <p>For first aid you'd want to add liquid infant's Tylenol and ibuprofen but check to make sure the expiration date is pretty far in the future since they can't have ibuprofen until 6 months. Gas drops, gripe water, teething tablets, extra syringes, a thermometer, saline, nose frida and boogie wipes (I LOVE these). I have a little travel case we keep all of this stuff in and it's so nice to have it all handy when she's sick and I just take the whole case when we travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-twin-baby-shower-gift-please#post-2672887 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 13:06:39 +0000 YYCBee 2672887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey Bees!</p> <p>I've been to a few baby showers, but this will be my first time buying for a mom who is having twins. I usually like to do gift-basket type stuff (ie: a "diaper basket" with everything she needs, or a bedtime basket with a nice stroller blanket, onsie, books, and pacifiers, etc) but I'm having some trouble thinking of ideas for twins that are still within my budget. Ideally I'd like to spend a max of $75.</p> <p>A new dad at work suggested a "first aid" basket which would include things like gripe water and baby Tylenol. But I don't have kids so I'm not too sure what else I'd put in there. </p> <p>I was also thinking a bathtime basket (because I assume that will be hard with twins) but all I can think of is some hooded towels and washcloths and baby soap because the actual baby baths are expensive!</p> <p>Any ideas or help would be great!! Also, I'm in Canada, so I feel like that increases costs a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-idea-for-15-year-old-girl#post-2661983 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 12:03:27 +0000 pwnstar 2661983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a trendy accessory like a choker? The 90's are very in right now (which totally makes me lol), but there are lots of great options that aren't expensive. That and a flannel shirt (or a cold shoulder body suit - another huge lol), and you would have that decade covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-idea-for-15-year-old-girl#post-2661875 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 09:47:27 +0000 honeybear 2661875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: :) I decided that I'm definitely doing a GC and some other items. In addition to the things above--mug, movie tickets, etc--I was thinking maybe some nice gel pens and nail polish. I really liked stationary-related things at that age and every high-schooler uses pens. I admit that makeup hadn't really occurred to me before this thread because I don't really experiment with it anymore! (Old lady over here! :silly: )</p> <p>This thread has been super helpful!

They both requested clothes and makeup so I'm thinking a gift card to Sephora, Bath &amp; Body Works, Lush, Etc?</p> <p>They also requested mermaid tail blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-idea-for-15-year-old-girl#post-2661775 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 22:00:32 +0000 honeybear 2661775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you, ladies! </p> <p>@jhd: @bookwormmama: Ahh, a Starbucks gift card/hot chocolate and a cute travel mug is a great idea! I'll look for the eye shadow palettes.</p> <p>@LibbyLou: Those are awesome! ;) </p> <p>@catgirl: I'm going to use some of your ideas too! I think you're right about gift cards--one will definitely be part of the package. </p> <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I hadn't even thought of room decor/fun linens. That's a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-idea-for-15-year-old-girl#post-2661769 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 21:16:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2661769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had a white elephant gift exchange with out youth group and boys and girls alike we're fighting over one of those super fuzzy and cozy 25 dollar throw blankets.

Or maybe some fun products from LUSH or Bath and Body Works? I have younger sisters that are around that pre-teen age and I gave them an Elf cosmetics eye shadow palettes and some other make up products last year...they have big holiday sets out at Target right now.</p> <p>Otherwise maybe an iTunes or Amazon gift card? My sisters spend a lot of time on their phones/tablets playing games and listening to music.</p> <p>I'm going to get my youngest sister a cozy blanket and a cute mug with some nice hot chocolates this year. She loves hot chocolate and cozying up on the couch with a book or her tablet.</p> <p>@catgirl: movie theater gift cards are a great idea! My sisters would love that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-idea-for-15-year-old-girl#post-2661757 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 20:34:54 +0000 catgirl 2661757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters are 14 and 17 - this year I am giving them cozy socks in colors they love and iTunes gift cards. They generally like to pick out their own things so it's easier to do a gift card. </p> <p>Scarves, jewelry, cute pouches/small bags, cute throw blanket, makeup/nail polish, and lounge at home clothes are things I've done fairly recently. </p> <p>For gift cards I've had good luck with Amazon, iTunes, their local movie theater, Sephora, francesca's, and newbury comics.</p> <p>At this age interests are all over the place it's so hard to predict what various girls will like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-idea-for-15-year-old-girl#post-2661755 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 20:30:06 +0000 LibbyLou 2661755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something for her phone? a long cord, an extra charger or on-the-go charger or these stands for you phone?
