A baby shower can be had when baby is born- it doesn't have to be held when mom is pregnant, its not the hard and fast rule. So for a baby shower that is when baby has come it can be a lot of fun to give something really personal for baby.

I found a great website for a baby shower gift for mom to celebrate baby. Its a personalised baby candle. These are so beautiful for a baby shower gift because they speak to the heart rather than the head. There is a website you can go to called www.wicksend.com.au and they make baby candles and you can use this gift for a baby shower. Here is a photo from their website. And here is what they say about baby candles:

"For a personalised touch on the birth or your baby.Our candle is designed with baby's name, date of birth and digital photographical image supplied on the front. The back containing a poem or prayer and small image as selected. Complete with satin ribbon around the base, this candle makes an ideal gift or a keepsake for the occasion. You will need to fill in the order form and fax or email your requirements along with the digital photo of the child. Below are a selection of verses/poems that you may wish to have on your candle or provide your own. In addition, select your ribbon colour and other image/s if required. Click on the links below."

Now this doesn't mean you can't give it to mom for her baby shower just because the website is telling you its for "your" baby. You can get a photo of baby and then make your order.

I thought this was a great idea for a baby shower gift.

Best wishes,
