I Want To By Clothes As A Baby Shower Gift But I Hate That Minty Green Color.?
she wants to be surprised about te sex of the child. most people give yellows and minty greens and i don’t care for those colors. i told her mom i’d give a gift card so she can get what she wants, but her mom says no because she may not use it. i don’t mind but have no idea as to what color choices are unisex? everything esle is coverd and my pick was baby clothes. plz heeelllppp!
You could choose between white or sandy/light brown colors these are very neutral and unisex too! and also very chic!
You could do white. Or you could get a little Christmas romper or something. Or write her a little note that says her clothes are coming after the baby is born, then pick some out after the baby is born and give them to her then. Or give her that note with a pack of plain white newborn t-shirts.
You can get some unisex jeans. Winnie The Pooh brand is pretty unisex. Also look at bibs, some of them are pretty cool for either sex. Or get a cute pair of shoes that either could wear. What is also nice is diapers…Don’t buy the newborn but the next size up-one may only use the newborn for about 2 wks. I loved getting diapers because you go through a lot.
NOTE: When buying clothes get a larger size like 3-6 months because a lot of babies only fit in the newborn for about a wk if they fit it at all. Plus a lot of people buy newborns so there are too many outfits to choose from.
GUESS THAT LEAVES WHITE OR YELLOW. GO TO THE STORE AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.
You can buy baby clothes in a pale, soft yellow and they can be worn by either. Or, you could get something that is white or cream color that is solid, or that has multi-color pastel accents on it ( like when they spell out baby with each letter being a different color. I’m with you on the mint green, I don’t like it either!
White, multicolor stripes or dots, red-and-white, black-and-white, rainbow, hunter green (forest green), navy blue, “natural” colors (from off-white to brown), aqua or teal blue, and even orange! Don’t forget colors that will go with yellow or green, because they’ll get a lot of those items.
(I know because we waited to be surprised too, and I wanted to buy at least some of the baby’s stuff beforehand!)
i was stuck too on my first baby shower, and till my mother had a plan, She told me to go to a baby store and get needy things for the baby, all little things to wrap up and put in a big box, give you hints, such as, 1 baby thermonter, maybe like 5 diapers, baby magic for the butt, a rattle, a baby pasefiar, a teething ring, maybe lots of little things all wrapped up in one big box, she would appreciate it
Get bright colors like red, orange, etc. Babies respond especially well to bright colors…my baby LOVES her red clothes. Denim works for both sexes as well. As long as you don’t buy anything too “boyish”, you can also go with blues, browns, etc. Buy separates so the mom can pair items with more “gendered” separates (ie…you buy red pants and a white top…she can then put either with more “girlie” or “boyish” separates).
I didn’t know the sex ahead of time, and went with boys/unisex colors….we had a girl, but no one raises an eyebrow if she’s got blue pants on.
its not up to your likeing of a color its for the baby and the mom. pick out a nice white yellow or seafoam green ourfit or get a gift card to the baby store it will get used trust me babies grow very fast
White or Yellow. I love Yellow baby outfits. They are so cute. Just buy her some of those white onsies and t shirts and some socks.
According to the peanut gallery you could do something with multiple colors or patterns, or unisex (???) animals like ducks or bears.
How about getting two outfits, one boy one girl. Then when she has the baby she can exchange one.
You can never go wrong with winnie the pooh and friends…those characters can go either way. And everyone loves pooh!
try blues or red hope this helps
I’m with you…I HATE that mint green and barf yellow….those being the few choices for unisex baby clothes was part of the reason why I wanted to know the sex of my baby. I would hate it if I ended up with a closet full of clothes in mint green and yellow…yuck.
You can find some white outfits that are unisex, but they’re usually boring and nothing fun ever stands out when looking for that. I can’t believe she said she may not use a gift card! That’s crazy!! Who doesn’t like a gift card!? I suggest you still give her one; trust me, she’ll find a use for it….all mothers do!
Otherwise, don’t get clothes….there are a lot of fun baby things out there that are unisex and are NOT in the gross colours. Look around, I bet something will jump out at you and you’ll rather get it than ugly clothes!
