Can you think of any more normal combination than baths and babies? Sometimes it seems as though they spend half their early lives in the bath. Sponge bath for the first three months followed by a short tub for the remainder of the year and a regular tub for the next five years. So, how about making life easy for Mom, Dad and baby by getting all the bath time items they will need as baby shower gifts.

Step out on a cold morning and you will soon discover that a bathrobe is probably the first necessity. Keep those little ones both comfortable and warm with a bathrobe made of the finest terrycloth and make both Mom and baby happy by purchasing one with a design that brings two smiles at once.

Even better, give the baby a preview of life to come with a spa baby bath set. Miniature slippers in blue, pink or white that are simply to die for and washcloths that are as soft as they use in Baden Baden when the big girls go on holiday. But, remember that there is a long way to go first and so also order that charming toy frog to match the design on those slippers.

Speaking of amphibians, how about a four-piece turtle hat box set? A lovely pink hat box wrapped in a white silk bow makes the perfect container. Inside you have slippers embossed with those appealing little green creatures all nestling alongside a terry washcloth, a hooded towel and loads of other goodies.

For the bath you have loads of options.

Bath soap is a must of course. But how about transforming that practical necessity into a real pleasure? Ducky baby soap is the solution. Decorated with fun looking baby ducks and smelling of English herbs, the container alone will be a lovely keepsake. The soap is naturally made specially for a baby’s delicate skin and will leave baby with the scent of a garden.

The beach ball bath set provides another safe and fun option. Manufactured from soft terry, it is paired with a washcloth and hooded towel that make for the perfect mixture of play and hygiene. Made from cotton, the items are warm, comfortable and extremely absorbent.

Before the baby can get out and dry off however you will want to keep them amused in the tub. The puppy puppet is a surefire bet when it comes to meeting that objective. And, as soon as baby is ready to come out, the matching puppy hooded towel is there and to do its job. Soft, sturdy and hilarious, it will do the deed with style and fun.

And how about making drying off a warm and easy breeze with a wonderful 3-piece terry set. Made of exceptionally soft velour cotton and adorned with a baseball motif, the hooded towel is only the beginning. A matching infant robe and full-sized bib complete with Velcro latches makes this set luxurious, decorative and practical.

Finally allow the baby to relax and enjoy the post-bath time with a swish play bucket that is full of fun plush turtles or crabs and delight as those two little eyes brighten with excitement. As a baby shower gift there is no doubt that these baby bath time gifts will be very much appreciated.
