No "Cribbing" Please

My newborn
niece was the talk of the family. She was the first in the third
generation and our folks flocked from far and near to bless the
baby. All of 14 days, she looked the perfect centerpiece.
I know my
sister has been planning her baptism for months now. She had
everything ready. The guest list, the theme for the party, the
decorators, floral arrangements, you name it. She was really into it
and I can’t blame her. One look at my adorable niece and anyone
could get infected.
So, while
my sister busied herself in the preparations, I took sometime to
surf through for a suitable gift for the little one. I had been
saving up, browsing on the Internet and collecting appropriate baby
coupons and promo codes for this day.
I found
two websites particularly useful –
BabyAge and
One Step Ahead.
They had a wide array of baby products, gifts and accessories. I
took my time browsing through each category one by one. Both sites
had their positives. And I quiet liked the categorization in
onestepahead.com.
It allowed me to search by apparel, bath and health, feeding,
nursery, travel and gear, safety and toys. The good thing about
BabyAge.com was the
discounted items upfront.
I knew I
had to gift something useful. No frills such as toys or DVDs.
Rather, I was veering toward a beautiful canopy baby crib I saw at
babyage.com and the pretty bedding set called the ‘Jitterbug
Ensemble’ from onestepahead.com. It was baby pink and white and came
with the following pieces: Diaper Stacker, Top Sheet, Fitted Sheet,
Pillow, Musical Mobile, Wall Hanging, Wall Border, Jitterbug Fabric,
and Window Valance.
I
bookmarked both these pages and set off to speak with my sister,
lest she had already purchased a crib. Ah, there she was giving some
more instructions to the floral guy. She saw me waving frantically
at her and walked toward me. I told her of the lovely crib I had
seen on the Internet for the baby. Of course, the planner that my
sister was, she couldn’t have not booked one for herself! However, I
pleaded with her to let me do the honors, after all I had the better
One Step Ahead
discount offers!
So when
the D day came, I was all excited. The crib along with the pretty
bedding set had arrived the day before. My sister had placed the
crib at the center of the room complete with the top and fitted
sheets, the diaper stacker, and pillow. She even placed the wall
hanging and the wall border. And there lay my beautiful niece all
wrapped in pink and white. She sure painted a pretty picture and no
one was ‘cribbing’!
