Don't Give These Shower Gifts

Bad Baby Gift #5 One new mother was opening presents at an office shower when she was shocked to find she'd been given a clock for her coming bundle of joy, with a plaque that was engraved congratulating the giver's parents on their 30th anniversary. Bad Baby Gift #4 A another shower, a mother to be got a gift that smelled funny. As she unwrapped the box, people began scooting backwards as the smell grew stronger and more unpleasant. Inside was a handmade protection talisman made of garlic, rosemary, catgrass and the herb valerian which has a strong odor not unlike sweaty human feet. Bad Baby Gift #3 One mother-to-be received the gift of a baby blanket that looked sweet and handmade. Upon unwrapping it, the mother-to-be discovered a large urine stain on the blanket. Needless to say, her delight in the gift was dampened just a little. Bad Baby Gift #2 One of the worst baby gifts we've heard of was one that was given to a woman at an office shower. Two of her co-workers got together and bought her baby a gift certificate to go to a local gun range and take lessons. Bad Baby Gift #1 The worst baby gift we found was an envelope given to a new mother was a collection of 3 gift certificates to get her hair done, her nails done, and a gift certificate at a local clothing store. However, her elation was short lived when she saw the gift certificates were made out to the person that had given the gift and they were dated for Christmas in years gone by and each one had expired. by: Mama Bebe & Co.
