Baby Name Wizard

A new baby is always a joyous occasion, and for godparents, it’s an exceptional time in their lives. Being asked to be a baby’s god parent is a significant and important task – it means that you are promising to look after the child’s interests should the parents not be able to care for the baby. It is not a light promise and many people take the responsibility of being a godparent very seriously.

One of the most difficult things to do is to purchase the perfect new baby gift for a god child. The best idea for a new baby gift is to look to personalized gifts that you can dedicate to your new god child. With personalized gifts you can add their name, birth date and more.

There are a number of personalized gifts that you can choose from for your new god child:

Personalized Bibs

Personalized bibs are a cute gift to give your new god child. You can have a funny or appropriate saying embroidered on the bib, as well as the child’s name and/or birth date, weight, and length. 

Personalized Baby Blocks

Baby blocks make a great gift and can either be used for early spelling exercises or simply for show on a child’s bookcase. You can have baby blocks made up for your new god child that include their name engraved on them, as well as their birth date, weight, and length or even a special message.

Personalized Blankets

Add your god child’s name to the corner of a plush soft baby blanket and you have a great gift to give that the child can use and enjoy. You can also add the other pertinent information such as the baby’s birth date, time of birth and other significant information.

Personalized Bracelets

You can choose from a variety of sterling silver or beaded bracelets that are emblazoned with your god child’s name. Other jewellery is also readily available in personalized gifts.

You can have the cup engraved or emblazoned with your new god child’s name, birth date, weight, and length as a sentimental keepsake.

Personalized Dolls

Give your god child their own special doll that has their name on the clothing or embroidered on the doll body. This gift idea is a wonderful and precious keepsake for any child.

Personalized Wooden or Sterling Silver Crosses and other Religious Symbols

You can choose religious keepsakes for your new god child such as a wooden cross that is emblazoned with their name, birth date, time, weight, height and length.

You can also choose from a variety of “to my god child” gifts, many of which include the above with sayings about how you promise to cherish and help the new baby throughout their lives.

A newborn baby coming into your life will turn your world upside down. Aside from the crying and poopie nappies, you need to also consider the emotional toll and the change that will occur between you and your partner.

Men often feel like they are pushed out of the relationship, which is often simply because :

• labour wasn’t that long ago…. allow some time for healing
• both parents are so tired!
• baby is so much more reliant on mum (particularly if breastfed)
• boobs are ‘whipped out’ for feeding, and are there for a purpose rather than pleasure
• sex is often the last thing on the mothers mind, she just wants to go to bed and get a decent sleep. The sooner she can fall asleep the better…!

The husband of a  customer recently told us how he had joined a Men’s Group and was shocked with the amount of guys who didn’t think that a baby would change their life. He says these other guys were complaining about the lack of sex and sleepless nights, and how one guy said that he hates his wife breast feeding in front of him because it GROSSES him out. And that this guy ‘likes his wife TITS ( that right he used the word tits ) and he didn’t want them getting all stretched and saggy because of breast feeding.’ Seems this guy might have forgotten the other purpose of breasts in the human anatomy.

Breastfeeding is totally sexy, but in a non-sexy way. Its just a different aspect.

With a new baby in the house, it is really important to share time with you and your partner, so that you don’t get out of phase.
