These products of creative genius are called diaper cakes and are a perfect blend of form and functionality - they’re pretty enough to be used as table decorations and yet, their contents are exactly what a mom to be needs in order to take care of her little one.
With diaper cakes, the possibilities are limitless; if the baby is a girl, why not choose butterflies for your theme? Butterflies are colorful and easy to work with as they do not limit you on the things you can put on your cake. So go ahead and take your pick from all the forms butterflies come in.
Once you have selected your theme for your diaper cake, do some rolling and tucking, even some pinning if you wish to make the layers of your diaper cake. As with real cakes, your bottom layer will be the largest, followed by the smaller second layer and if you fancy, a third layer which should be the smallest. After that’s done, decorate the cake with a sprinkling if confetti here and there, maybe throw on some glitter, add some ribbons, add your paper or fabric flowers and some silk, plastic, nylon and rubber butterflies. The materials mentioned above are pretty easy to find and are available in most craft and toy stores. Think outside the box and go to the bookstore where you can find materials for your diaper cake as well. If nothing in the store catches your eye, you can always check online for ideas and even order your materials from an online store, just make sure you order them well before the party date to give ample room for the delivery time, returns and exchanges.
When working with a tight budget that leaves no room for pricey shopping, work with what you have. Rummage around your house for some clothespins and coffee filters. You can use the coffee filters for the butterfly’s body by splitting it in two while, being careful not to rip the folded area. Take some pieces of tissue paper and roll them, once done, glue them along the fold. Now you have the body. Next, just use your coloring materials to decorate the wings and with the use of the clothespins, attach to your diaper cake.
If you know the baby’s name, you can also include it in your cake using letter cut-outs; include some bottles of baby shampoo, oil, maybe even a bar of baby soap. Whatever you put in your diaper cake, any tired parent will be sure to appreciate.
You can also make diaper teddy bears, ducks, or dolls. Just roll up the diapers and tie them up with rubber bands or ribbon. These will be the units that you will use to build your crafts. You can roll the diapers long or shape them into spheres.
Finally, the diaper wreath is another popular diaper craft, especially around Christmas. Roll the diapers lengthwise and tie them together with ribbon, tape, or rubber bands. Avoid using staples and glue but instead use fasteners that are easily removed so that the diapers can easily be reused. Lastly, feel free to add other useful items to your diaper art like pacifiers and baby bottles. The new mom will be sure to appreciate this creative gift.

Great Gift Ideas for an Adult Christening
For the adult who is just getting baptized into the religion of choice, this is a memorable day, much like getting married. It takes a lot of thinking and decision making to finally settle on getting baptized into a religion that one was not born and raised into. The baptism is usually held in a church while the celebration after it is usually held somewhere else. Of course, just like any christening, the guests usually bring in christening gifts to welcome the new member and receive baptism favors in return from the hosts. But that is easier said than done as it is easier to get a gift for a baby than it is for an adult. Here are some gift suggestions for adult baptism gifts:
A Sacred Book – no matter the religion there is always a sacred book and it is always a welcome and expected gift. There is no baptism that is without a sacred book given and if there is any, and then someone will rush out to get just to make sure there is at least one given to the celebrant.
A Holy Symbol – this is usually given as a pendant, a brooch or a ring. These symbols are also usually blessed by the celebrating official during the christening. Do not get one that will not represent the religion. In some cultures, receiving such a gift would mean wearing of the item at all times for at least a year.
Prayer Beads – there are several prayer beads used by the worshipper no matter what religion it is. Prayer beads help the worshipper to focus on their prayers and to also guide them through a set or series of prayers. These are usually used everyday especially on holy days.
Holy Oils – these are a little more expensive for these are pure essential oils which are later on blessed by the officiating priest. For Catholics, Frankincense oil is highly valued as much as oil of myrrh both of which were given to the infant Jesus by the Three Kings. The holy oil is used to guard against any form of spiritual warfare and is also used in the last rites.
Decorative Item or Symbol – this is similar to a pendant or a brooch but these are larger and are supposed to be placed on the altar or on the wall. These images may be antique or not, but the most valued are the antique works of art usually made of hand carved wood. The usual images are that of the Virgin Mary and some Saints. They are used as a reminder of the holiness and sacrifice made by the individuals that they represent and to guide the new member to emulate their holy lives.
Blessed Cloth – there are some cloths considered for holy use as they are usually placed on altars. Usually families have an old altar cloth that had been handed down from generation to generation and it is customary for a new member to be welcomed with one or two so they could start their own traditions.
Choosing a gift may be tough, but when one is pointed to the right direction, even getting gifts for newly christened adults can be easy.
A Sacred Book – no matter the religion there is always a sacred book and it is always a welcome and expected gift. There is no baptism that is without a sacred book given and if there is any, and then someone will rush out to get just to make sure there is at least one given to the celebrant.

Ideas for Unique One of a Kind Favors for Baby Showers
For parents who have been waiting a long time to have a baby, having a baby shower planned for them will make them happier. Getting together with friends, family, and loved ones can be a time of re-bonding and acknowledgement for the couple at this special point in their lives.
There are times when the friends either give a group gift or simply bring in individual gifts for the baby. The excitement of opening up the gifts in front of the friends and the delight of the new parents-to-be is a time for taking more pictures and having great fun.
For the one planning for the party favors this can take a lot of time to think and plan on. However, one idea for unique baby shower favors is to add a unique item, personally chosen for each guest that attends the shower. This is especially possible if there are only a few close friends are invited.
First of all, prepare something that can be commonly given to all the girls. Prepare the usual items like bath gels, bath salts, candy and whatever else. And then add something totally unique in the loot by placing something that will be special to that one person who gets it.
If you have a friend who likes to garden or simply adores flowers and is known for her green thumb, include in the bag or box several packs of seeds of her favorite flowers and plants. Imagine when after she sows the seeds and they start growing and blooming – what a delight to see that the gift gave her such pleasure. Seeing her flowers bloom will remind her of the day of the baby shower.
If you have a friend who likes to sew stuff, then consider including a quilting kit or design. Quilters are known for their fanaticism with fabric and getting an unusual fabric makes their artistic mind open to all sorts of possibilities. She will forever remember where that material came from when looking at her finished quilt.
How about adding a recipe book for someone who really loves to cook? It doesn’t have to be something expensive. Get something that has great pictures in them that it is good enough to be placed on the coffee table for her to flip through.
What about adding a pack of melting chocolate that the baker friend loves to use for her chocolate creations? She can always invite the gang over to sample her latest creation and everyone can laugh about the inspiration from the loot bag of party favors.
How about that friend who likes pasta? Why not send her off with a recipe, some fresh Italian noodles and parmesan cheese? She can mix up her favorite pasta dish for herself alone or for the group.
Coming up with something unique for a friend is easily done if one knows who the friend really is. Any party favor can be unique and much appreciated if people get something unique for themselves.

A Few Great Keepsake Gifts for Babies
When a child gets older there will be questions about what happened before their birth. As they grow up, children eventually want to find out where they came from. When they find out that their mother had a baby shower, they will also be curious to see the pictures and souvenirs of that special party.
Personalized keepsake gifts are the simplest way to record the name of the child and the date that the child was born or that the baby shower was held. Having it done in a specialty shop or online is easy enough done, but it can always be done at home as well. This lends the personalize item more importance for it was not just ordered, it was made for the occasion by an important person – a friend or even the mother herself.
Baby Shower Favors – Be sure to save a few of those personalized baby shower favors that you handed out at your baby shower. These will make cute mementos for a child when he or she grows up.
Sweats for the Baby – There are always cool and cold days and babies should be kept warm. Simply buy the sweats and have them personalized with the name of the child. The theme of the baby shower or child’s nursery theme can also be printed along with the baby’s birthday or baby shower date.
Rattlers – Babies adore rattlers, especially those with teethers on one end. Have the rattlers personalized by tagging them on the handle with the name of the child.
Towels – Choose from the different sizes of towels or get a towel set. Have them custom-stitched with a unique monogram with the child’s name or initials.
Towels are really appreciated by all who receive them as these are the most useful and functional of all types of gifts, for the adult or the baby. What’s more, imagine the child’s wonderment when they realize that the towel they were using was a gift to them even before they were born. Warning: always reserve one for posterity’s sake as towels can suffer through wear and tear.
Diaper Cloths – There are diapers of cloth material that are super soft and gentle on the baby skin. These are great gifts for the mothers who are environmentally conscious and through the years will also result in lots of savings from not having to buy disposable diapers.
Baby Scrapbook – This is one way to keep all the photos of the party and can even include the invitations and a CD holder glued on to one page. The child could just flip through the pages and see for themselves what went on at the party and who attended it. Personalize it by placing the name on the cover of the scrapbook and the date of the party. The mother could then just add on more pictures as the child gets older.
Ideas for personalized party gifts are just too many to list, but at least the above list is enough to give someone a good place to start.

Effective Storytelling Tips and Suggestions
Telling stories is one great way to entertain people, make them discover new things, or simply get your message across before your little girl goes to sleep or as part of a school or company activity. Storytelling requires communication and people skills for it to be effective. People who tells stories are usually seen as more interesting people, so it is a good skill to practice.
It all starts with choosing the story. Firstly, try to choose a story that is interesting to you. It will be harder to effectively tell a story that you do not find interesting yourself. Choose a story that you know will be interesting for you all the way to the end. Your natural enthusiasm will shine through when you are telling a story you enjoy.
It is important to keep your tone and pace of voice as natural as possible. You can change your tone and voice for different characters.
Watch your body language and make it in synch with your words. Pay attention to your facial expression as well so the level of excitement and happiness can be heard in your voice and seen in your face, and other feelings can be heightened as well. Maintain occasional eye contact and you can also act out certain parts to give the story more dramatic effect. What you tell and how you move should be done with proper timing.
Be sure to practice and rehearse at least a few times before you tell the actual story. Sometimes rehearsing out loud will allow you to catch mistakes or areas of the story that can be improved. The more you tell a story, the better you will get at it, whether it is a children’s story or just a story that you are telling to a friend about something that happened in your life.
Storytelling is a great hobby or a family bonding activity. If you are into storytelling, you can encourage others to do it as well or you can give books as Christmas gifts or wedding bookmarks or baptism bookmarks as favors whenever you have or organize a similar event. You can do your share in keeping fairytales and bible stories a part of everyone’s life through effective storytelling techniques.

The Beauty of Personalized Gifts
Personalized gifts are truly special in every sense of the word. From the main gift item to the personalization, these gifts are far better than general gift items that you just simply get off the rack and wrap. Even with the gift tag or favor labels, personalized gifts can bring across your message of love and thoughtfulness far better than the tags attached.
Personalized gifts give more meaning and they show your thoughtfulness. Whether they are birthday gifts, Mother’s Day gifts, or even event favors such as personalized wedding favors, these personalized gift items, no matter how small they are, have a much bigger meaning and more value when compared to just regular gift items. One can receive far too many shirts in his life, but the personalized gifts are valued more and are the gifts that are truly remembered.
Personalization also adds uniqueness to a gift. Some of the most unique wedding favors for example are the ones that are personalized with the names of the guests. This is a great way to impress your party guests.
They are also more useful and practical. Generally, you should personalize those items that are used frequently in that person’s life. If you will be giving a gift to a fitness trainer, you can give him a personalized towel rather than a personalized pen or calculator. Personalizing an item means that this specific item is being used frequently by the receiver. Whether towel or pen, it is commonly something that he uses everyday that even if he misplaces it, it will still be given to him when found because it is personalized.
Personalized gifts are truly unique gifts. They are unique with the way they look, and they are unique because of the time, effort, and money you have invested in these gifts. During birthdays, for example, one can receive far too many coasters or mugs. But by giving a personalized one, not only will the gift be kept and used more often and at more occasions, but of course, the giver will be remembered and appreciated more as well.
It might not take you that much time or effort though to find these gift items. Malls and even online stores have taken personalizing gifts as one of their prime service. You can easily find one in your community or you can just simply go online to find suppliers. Personalized gifts will be valued more in general and the giver will be given more value as well. They say that it’s the thought that counts and taking the time to personalize your gift definitely shows thoughtfulness.

Themes for Your Wedding – Which to Avoid
All young couples wish to make their wedding ceremony special and memorable. This desire leads a lot of couples to plan a theme for the focus of the revelry. Such plans can go seriously awry. Following are several wedding themes to avoid at all costs.
Hunting/Redneck Wedding
Both bride and groom enjoy camping outside, stalking prey in turkey blinds, and their camouflage. They are likely to have a close relationship and entertaining life together indulging in their favorite pastime. But, there is a relevant environment for such stuff. The wedding celebration really shouldn’t include shotgun shells or scopes. In 30 years, would you truly want to tell your grandchildren why their grandmama was sporting camping gear to get hitched? Your wedding event ought to be wondrous and enduring. Save the ’roughing it’ for the honeymoon.
Vampire Wedding
Myriad women, and select men, find the vampire genre sexy and romantic. Even for those of you part of this contingent, there are a long list of reasons you shouldn’t include your passion for Dracula in your wedding. First, it has saturated society. Vampires are ever present in our time, so this theme really would not make your wedding unique. Next, it means death. Yes, vampire tales speak of eternal love, but it typically involves a lot of people getting killed. Nary a thing says passion like a bloody mess.
Clown Wedding
If you are not fifth generation in a clown family and are looking to take to the road with a headlining circus, omit the red nose and bowlerhat. This wedding theme truly is not as funny as you may think.
Foodie Wedding
Some people want to include how they got to meet into the reception. However, if you met at a fast food restaurant, leave out this idea. Do you truly want your wedding garments to exude the smell of French fry grease?
Medieval/Pirate Wedding
You can find plenty of romance films set in the renaissance era, or on a pirate ship, but in truth, neither of those times were romantic. Women were property, men toiled even harder than nowadays, and physical hygiene was almost non-existent. If you leave out the ugly parts and simply include the romantic parts of the period, it just seems cheesy, and surely nobody wants that for their wedding event.
Cartoon Wedding
If you really manage to railroad your invitees to get suited up as cartoon characters, they will most likely not forgive you for the rest of your life. Who desires to initiate their future with the ushers and maid of honor hurling curses at them from under the hot and itchy foam head?
Geek Wedding
This heading includes Star Wars, Star Trek, video games, and any other theme from the palette of science fiction. Sure, you know several fellow geeks. Yet it’s very probable that the biggest number of your guests are not members of that crowd. So, they aren’t party to the inevitable inside jokes and will have no appreciation for the outlandish outfits. Rather than being meant as an honor to geek love, your wedding will merely be a big, confusing mess. To be a bit safer, hold a more traditional wedding, and share a Star Wars movie session during your honeymoon.
Naked Wedding
Are you serious? Just no. Nobody thinks that’s a fun idea. Keep in mind that even if you plan your big day to be extraordinary, always take your guests into account. Settle on a theme that everybody there can enjoy.
