Put it in Neutral: Layettes for Patient Parents

My most recent neutral baby gift
It is soooo en vogue right now to wait and find out if Baby is a Prince or Princess.  Personally, I don't have the patience and would most likely be thrown into an anxiety attack.  But as luck would have it, the majority of baby showers I've attended or been hired to shop for lately have been neutral.  Good thing I'm gifted.

What to do when shopping for bouncy and Bumbo seats isn't as appealing as shopping for teeny, tiny clothes?  My advice is go with white, gray or animal print layettes.  Kissy Kissy brand has been my neutral go-to of late.  Love the lightweight, breathable cotton and their gowns also snap as pants.  Another option? A super luxurious Little Giraffe blanket!  Try the silver or cream color versus the standard neutral green or yellow; if those patient parents plan on picking pink or blue bedding once Baby arrives, either will coordinate beautifully.

 Most important: stick with a theme!  Par exemple: layette set with lambs on it + a stuffed lamb; froggie hooded towel + froggie bath toy; Little Giraffe blanket + Sophie la Girafe teether.  Be creative, not random.  Speaking of random, how awesome is that Little Giraffe + Sophie combo?  I just thought of that as I was typing!  Next neutral gift?  Done.
