Baby shower gift for the dad-to-be

A few weeks ago, I organised a baby shower for my sister-in-law. She is due at the beginning of December. I am going to be the Godmother and I am really chuffed about it.

Because all the family was gathered together for the weekend to attend the baby shower, I thought I could organise something for the dad-to-be too (not a baby shower as such, but a few games and a gift).

Around dinner time, we played three games:

- Blindfolded baby changing game
- Pin the dummy in the baby's mouth game
- Name that poop game

Blindfolded baby changing game
The aim of the game is for the dad-to-be to dress a doll.

The trick is that he must be blindfolded.

It was amusing to watch.

Tip: If the parents-to-be are having a baby boy, spray dad's face with water when he is putting the nappy on (use a child's water pistol). He will not expect it! Someone should prepare him for it :).

Pin the dummy in the baby's mouth game
I don't think that it really needs explaining. The name of the game gives it away.

A few of us had a go. Classic baby shower game and quite funny.

Name that poop game
The idea is to take 4 nappies and to fill each one of them with something that looks like poop (nutella, curry sauce, mustard, speculoos paste...) and to present it on a tray to the dad-to-be. He must then taste the 'poop' and guess what it is.

It is quite gruesome but hilarious.

After the games, I gave the dad-to-be a gift: his very own Daddy's Toolbox.

It contains everything that he will need to take care of his newborn baby and survive the first few weeks of parenthood:

- nappies
- wipes
- nappy cream
- teething gel
- bibs
- rubber ducks for bath time
- muslin squares
- dummy
- dummy wipes
- energy drinks
- Paracetamol
- ear plugs
- gloves for the soiled nappies :)
- antibacterial wipes
- antibacterial hand gel
- changing mat
- etc...

It was a fun gift for me to put together and for the dad-to-be to unwrap.

Laughter guaranteed!
