Welcome to Baby Shower Gift Picks, Contest Corner’s newest feature! This gift guide aims to help out those who are looking for the perfect gift for an expectant mom. For those of us who don’t have children yet, deciding on a gift can be tricky. What do moms really need? How can you be sure that you’re picking something that is truly practical? Baby Shower Gift Picks will introduce you to cool new products for parents – so whether you are expecting yourself, or just need some suggestions for a nice present, this column will provide you with ideas!
In this installment, we are featuring Glow Baby!
Glow Baby carry a line of journals, calendars, and notepads designed to help new moms stay organized and keep track of important milestones. I recently found a journal that my mom had kept when I was a baby, in which she logged day-to-day notes about my development and noted funny little anecdotes; so when I saw the journals that Glow Baby carried, I thought it was a neat idea.

I received a complimentary copy of “Baby’s First Journal” in the mail today, so that I could get a closer look at Glow Baby’s products. The journal comes attractively packaged in tissue paper, ready for gift giving. My journal sustained a tiny tear in the tissue during transit, but as you can see in the photo above, the packaging still looked very nice!
The journal includes space to record feeding, sleeping, and diapering habits, as well as a growth log and space to jot down notes. I like the simple, practical approach of this journal – this could serve as both an organizational tool and a keepsake diary, especially since it is attractively designed. You don’t have to be a writer or take on a huge scrapbooking project to record memories – if you look through most “Baby Books”, you’ll see that poor tired mom usually loses steam after a few pages! – with this journal, you can simply jot down a quick note about special moments.

I would definitely get the Baby’s First Journal (Blue). I was very paranoid about keeping notes with my daughter, and now with another baby on the way, this would simplify things greatly!

Really liked The Organized Family Calendar. The list pages would be nice too.
I like the first journal blue.
I’d actually send this to a girl I’ve known for going on 16 years who is expecting her first little one any day now. I’m pretty sure she’d go for the baby’s first journal in green or blue, but I’d leave that up to her. 🙂
