Baby Shower Gifts That Will Wow the Crowd
I love the element of surprise! That's probably why I didn't find out the sex of my children while pregnant or set up a baby registry. When invited to a shower, I like to give an unexpected gift and leave the swing, bouncer and crib sheet offerings to other guests.
Better Than Lollipops: Crispy Rice Treats on Sticks
At a baby shower this year, LilSugar sent everyone home with the most clever party favors: crispy rice treats on a stick! They were the perfect parting gift at the shower, but, when adorned with color-coordinated orange sprinkles and ribbons, they'd also make a charming alternative to serve trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
This delight takes less than 10 minutes to come together on the stove top.
Baby Shower Tip: It's the Sweet Little Gestures
Whether you're planning a blowout baby shower bash complete with decadent diaper cakes or a simple sprinkle to shower a shy mom-to-be, always remember the biggest smiles can spawn from the littlest details. At a recent shower for a Sugar staffer expecting twins, the hostess dished out carefully selected candies and treats that fit with the multiples theme. She placed bowls of Twix and Kit Kat (they come in twos!), Double Bubble and Hershey's Hugs and Kisses around the office fete, which drew oodles of ohhhs and awws.
Double the Pleasure, Double the Fun With Twin Diaper Cakes!
It's multiple mania here at Sugar! After sending queen Sugar on her way to deliver a healthy baby girl, we showered our own LilSugar in bright floral style. The only thing that could outdo those diaper cakes would be TWO of them.
When a Shower Isn't Appropriate, How About a Sprinkle?
While every baby deserves to be celebrated, some mamas-to-be are uncomfortable with big bashes hosted for their subsequent children. I am one of them. Four fetes were thrown in my honor when I was expecting my daughter.
A Sugar Shower to Send LilSugar Off in Style!
Before LilSugar welcomes her third bebe, we decided to throw a fete in her honor. Not wanting to mess with pale pinks and blues, we went for brighter hues to celebrate the sweet mommy. Orange and green were the colors of choice, which proved to be a fan favorite amongst the baby shower revelers.
Katherine Heigl Hosted a Fabulous Baby Fete For Ellen Pompeo
It was no breakroom baby shower for Ellen Pompeo! The Grey's Anatomy star, who is expecting a baby girl in October, was feted by her friends and castmates with a backyard party at her costar Katherine Heigl's home on Saturday. According to reports, the expectant mama received a bounty of gifts, including "a Sleep Sheep toy mobile, Sleepy Safari stacking toys, organic hooded towels and a Kiddopotamus organic swaddle wrap," but none of the items from our recent favorite finds.

Here at Sugar HQ, we have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Baby Sugar #2. Lisa, the queen of all things Sugar, has developed a perfectly round bump and big sister Katie is ready for her lil sister's arrival. To honor the sweet family, we decided to use the obvious — confections galore.
