We are giving a shower for my daughter when she visits us in PA. at Thanksgiving. She lives in California. Any ideas how to save on shipping things or how to go about this? We thought of gift cards, but it doesn't sound like fun opening gift cards and seems a little cold. Thank you.
Answer
UPS Ground is not that expensive to ship. Just make sure the guests know that diapers would, maybe, not be the best gift to give at this baby shower because of shipping. If people DO buy you diapers....you can return them to Walmart and get a gift certificate (even without a receipt) and then she can take THAT back to California and re-buy the diapers out there.
Small items can easily be placed in a suitcase for when she flies back....outfits and monitors and sheets and blankets and such. If she doesn't have room, give her another suitcase and pay for the extra baggage charge of that suitcase!
The BIG BIG things can be purchased with gift cards. If your guests are aware of the dilemma with bigger items they will go with smaller ones.
Like I said, though, UPS Ground is really reasonable with shipping. I use them for my business and it takes FIVE business days to ship California to PA (Monday to Monday). A 14 Square Box weighing around 15 pounds costs about $17.00 to ship. Not that bad.
Hope that helped! Have a great shower!
(By the way....a cute diaper cake for the shower can be disassembled and the ingredients taken back on the flight with momma or shipped back to California with the other gifts. PLUG PLUG....)

I also had the Safety !st baby monitor from Wal-Mart. Also can't remember how much it was either. Here I'll look it up :)
$16.54 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=893599
But I moved to a really small place and found that I didn't need it any more. But it worked great and was cheap.
