Baby Euan's Wish List (Part 1)

Our baby, Euan Jedric, is expected to arrive on Feb. 14, 2012! Eejay and I, are so excited to see him. As first-time parents, we only want the best for our precious one and we would like everything to be prepared for his arrival. 

We won't be having a baby shower, but just in time for the season of giving, I thought of creating a wishlist for our baby boy . So, I'm calling all family, friends and future godparents to take a look at my very own list of top 12 baby gifts that you can give to Euan this Christmas! :-)

1. IKEA Gulliver Crib
My older sister works at Ikea Abu Dhabi and she asked me to browse through the children's section of their website to see what I would want her to get for Euan. (Thanks, sis!) The Gulliver crib caught my attention because of its simplicity and versatility. Its bed base can be adjusted to 2 heights and it can also be converted into a toddler's bed. Euan can definitely grow up with this crib since he'll be able to use it from newborn and until he reaches two years and above.


2. Changing Table 
This modern changing table from Badger Basket comes with three baskets and a hamper. All of which are removable to create open shelves or storage spaces. It's the perfect height to change baby's diapers and is sturdy enough to keep him in place. It also has safety rails on all sides to prevent baby from falling. And, even if Euan becomes too old for nappy changes, I can use this to store some of his things such as socks, clothes and toys.


3. Graco Urbanlite Stroller
We want our little boy to travel in style, of course! But, we don't want a stroller that is too bulky or heavy. From the baby stroller reviews I've read, I learned that the Graco Urbanlite model is the top choice among parents who are looking for a lightweight travel system. It's compact and weighs less than 20 lbs only. It is also easy to assemble and fold according to reviews. Final request is for a unisex color, so we can still use it in the future, just in case we conceive a girl. ;-)


4. Baby Bottle Starter Set
I'm torn between two brands - Philips Avent BPA-free feeding bottles and Tommy Tippee Closer to Nature. Both have anti-colic feature, but have mixed reviews in terms of effectiveness. Avent is the more popular name among "high-end" brands here in the Philippines. Tommy Tippee, on the other hand, is another choice I am considering because a friend from Macau already sent me a 3-bottle set of Tommy Tippee Closer To Nature. Nevertheless, to receive a newborn feeding bottle starter set from any of these brands will surely be appreciated!


5. Philips Avent Bottle Warmer & Sterilizer
These things are designed to make sterilizing and warming bottles quick and hassle-free! In short, it's gonna make my life easier! Haha! They say that taking care of a baby can be very exhausting. These nifty appliances can be a lifesaver when things need to be done fast.



6. Nursery Drawer Chest
This is another nursery essential aside from the crib. It's important to have a separate place to keep baby's clothes, blankets and other baby stuff organized.. This way, it won't get mixed up and buried under our clothes which are way bigger than Euan's. :-)
