The baby shower diaper wreath is a great baby gift for these reasons: 1) It provides fun decor for the party. 2) It includes the gift of diapers for the baby. 3) The wood letters can be repurposed and used in the baby's nursery. 4) The metal wreath can be used as a base for another wreath later -- when the new mom feels like being creative.

Not only can it be used as a floor seat and a high chair, but it can also be used on other flat surfaces -- like the dining room table while I'm working there! The Bumbo baby seat easily converts from a floor seat to a booster seat -- maximizing its use for as long as baby will fit in it! Here's my detailed review, plus a video so you can 'see' what I'm talking about.
