Not everything present day has to hook up to an outlet. This classic gift idea is just as cherished by today's tots.
The baby gift idea:
Sailboats make great baby shower gifts. A wooden toy sailboat looks great when displayed in the nursery, and will be a source of much fun for the baby in a couple short years.
Most specialty toy stores and online retailers stock sailboats. Look for a solid wood toy sailboat.
Personalizing the gift:
Sailboats can be personalized or monogrammed. Consider naming the boat after the baby's last name. If the baby's last name is Clooney, name the boat 'S.S. Clooney.' It would be hard to top this shower gift!
Variations:
Small wooden ducks (floatable) are a less common but equally fab gift.
YeahBaby thoughts:
Do you ever wish the world could take a big, deep breath and go back to a simpler time, say, 100 years ago? By gifting a baby with a traditional toy, you're also passing on the values that our family's generations past instilled.
