Here’s a different kind of shower gift that the new mom can use all year and everyone in her extended family will LOVE you for! It’s an advertising-free, secure site that you can post pictures and day by day happenings of your new little one in a nursery format! There are free versions that are available, but due to the security problems and annoying ads, this is definitely worth the affordable price. (No, I am not being paid to promote this, honest!) There is a good chance that your new mom doesn’t even know that something like this exists, and certainly won’t have alot of time to go searching for it. It’s a fun, convenient service, and that’s what shower gifts are all about, anyway, aren’t they?
I think this would be the cutest shower gift for the mom that is already a little cyber-savvy, and especially if she has a big family and/or friend circle, she can keep everyone posted on what’s happening with junior. It’s only $14.99 for 6 months and $21.99/year if you buy it for yourself, but if you buy it as a gift, it’s only $17.99 for a year. So if you buy it for yourself, get someone else to order it for you! You can renew at
$9.99/year, and you can’t get decent hosting for that price.
I know the super-thrify readers are already saying that you could just sign up for a Blogger account, and true, you could do that for free. The advantages are convenience and lots of baby graphics that blogger doesn’t offer. If your new mother is very html-savvy, writes her own programs, etc, then it might be insulting to get her this, because she could do all the html extras to customize a blogger, or her own hosted sites. But for the rest of us, it’s a fun gift that is free to send!
