Ideas for unique newborn baby gifts are plentiful. But when thinking about the perfect present to give, keep in mind the benefits for both the baby and parents when making your choice.

One of the most wonderful benefits you can give parents with your gift is to help them keep their baby warm and healthy. Babies need warmth which is why they are always wrapped in soft comforting blankets, and kept away from chills whenever possible.

With a Baby Clothing Warmer new parents will be able to keep their baby warm and toasty when dressing or diapering, settling down for sleep and after bath time.

This is a relatively new product, so you will also be giving a unique new baby gift that the parents will appreciate and will not receive multiples of.

A Baby Clothing Warmer is a temperature controlled fleece bag that heats any item put into it in just minutes, resulting in warm pajamas, clothing, towels, blankets, diapers and more for baby.

Baby wipes and lotions can also be warmed, resulting in pleasant and soothing diaper changing for both baby and parents.

So as you are assessing the array of ideas for newborn baby gifts to find just the perfect present, think about how the present will be used, how long it will last, i.e. clothes are outgrown quickly, and even toys become outdated as the baby grows.

But a Baby Clothing Warmer will be used all through infancy and can be continued to be used by the child and parents for many years to come.

Its the perfect unique gift idea, a present you will feel good giving, and a very practical present as well that will provide years of enjoyable warmth and comfort for the new baby.

Using humor in a speech or presentation can help to add an air of authority to your content because everyone loves to laugh! One of the ways to use humour in a speech is to incorporate a joke that is relevant to your content.

Now, in order for that joke to work you need to edit it down and interpret in your own way. Don’t feel that you’re not qualified to do this. You are don’t worry. As long as you can speak and paraphrase you’re going to be fine at editing a joke. I understand that it may be difficult to understand the process of editing a joke, but I’m going to do my best.

The point of this article is not to turn you into a comedian. It’s to help you spice up your content with humor so that you can connect with your audience and have them feel confident with your ability as a speaker or presenter.

Firstly, make sure you’re on your own. Like… sitting in front of your computer. Okay, take your joke and say it out loud. You will probably stumble over the words because jokes that you find in books or on the internet have extraneous words because they help with the reading of the jokes. But these words aren’t necessary for the actual spoken delivery of the line.

Most jokes have a small story element to them and so that’s what is included. For example they will contain words like: “One day…” or “…and says”. Those are structures that we are used to and that help us when we are reading the joke. But they are not at all helpful when you have to deliver that joke.

So read the joke out loud a few times to familiarize yourself with it. Then put it to one side and repeat it a few more times. Just give yourself a bit of “rehearsal” with it. What will begin to happen slowly is that you’ll forget bits of the joke and, as a result, paraphrase the joke into your own words.

You’ll naturally make shortcuts. Believe me, this is not a bad thing. This is exactly what you want to happen. As you do this try to cut out the storytelling elements. Try to get straight to the meat of the joke. For instance if the joke begins: “one day a CEO turns to one of his employees and says sternly…” You can edit the joke so that it reads: “A CEO turns to an employee and says…”

You cut the word sternly because you should say what the CEO says to the employee in a stern manner. You don’t need to tell your listeners how the CEO is speaking because you pretend to be the CEO. So that’s 6 words that have been cut and 1 word that has been added.

It’s also better to keep the joke in the present tense. Even if it’s happened in the past. You’ll say something like “last year…” then the tense will immediately change as if it’s happening right now. That street joke has got to unfold in front of your audience like it’s happening in the here and now. It makes it more immediate for the listener.

How do you know what will make the joke work? Well, the punchline is pretty important. The set-up is important as well, but that can usually do with a bit of trimming. The punchlines are the bit at the end that gets the laugh. Sorry if I’m stating the obvious for some of you, I just want to make sure we’re all on the same page.

I’m going to refer to a joke that I’m sure we all know: “why did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side”. The punchline in this case is “to get to the other side” so this is important to keep because that’s the line that will generate the laugh.

That said, the set up line is also very important because if you just said the line “to get to the other side” you will get a lot of blank stares. So you need: “why did the chicken cross the road?”. But what you have to be careful of is to make sure that all the important details are there. The chicken is important as is what the chicken is doing.

Remember that editing and delivering a joke are fused together at the hip. You need to practice the joke out loud again and again so you are familiar with it and it flows naturally.

You should also make sure that you personalize the joke if you can. Don’t make it any CEO if you can safely make it your CEO. But obviously you have to be careful that you don’t offend anybody and risk losing your job. The best thing to do is to make yourself the butt of your jokes. By laughing at yourself you are more likely to win the audience over to your side.

So to re-cap: Find a joke that is relevant to your theme or topic in a broad way. If you cannot find jokes specifically about the Human Resources Department, maybe there are jokes on a broader scale. Exactly what point are you making about H.R.? That they’re really organized? That they’re incompetent?

Then you need to say your joke over and over again out loud so that you become familiar with it. By doing this you will naturally edit bits of the joke out that don’t work for you because you will forget bits. Next go through the joke with a fine-toothed comb edit out any story elements. Finally, make the joke personal and in the present tense.

There is nothing more precious than a newborn baby. After months of waiting, this new addition to the human race arrives. This is the time when baby presents are really appreciated.

The first opportunity to present gifts, for the baby, usually comes at a baby shower. These gifts help with the expenses of clothing the new arrival, as well as helping get things prepared for the occasion. When purchasing a gift for the shower, some things should be considered.

The traditional colors for new babies are blue for boys and pink for girls. In today’s market, one can find many items that include these colors combined, in patterns, with others. This makes it possible, if the sex is not known, to choose something that will be appropriate whether it is a boy or girl. Blankets with these patterns are especially attractive.

If choosing wearing apparel, remember that a baby grows very rapidly and will quickly outgrow a garment that is especially made for ‘newborn’. This means that if the parents receive a large number of these, some will not be used. It is better to choose something that is 6 months to a year. This will really be appreciated when the baby gets bigger.

While diapers are not ‘pretty’ or ‘unusual’, they are the most appreciated gift one can give. In this case, ‘newborn’ is fine as they will be used up before the baby gets to the stage of needing a larger size. These diapers can be presented, nicely wrapped, with a rattle or small gift tied on the outside ribbon.

A baby album or feeding set is always a welcome addition, as well. However, it should be remembered that only one album or one feeding set will be used. Therefore, it is always a good idea to have the purchase receipt, to give the mother, in case another similar gift is presented. This will allow her to make an exchange rather than have something that will never be used.

Baby presents are often presented after the baby is born. If possible, it is a good idea to determine what the parents would like to receive. They may be lacking, or short of, certain items that are needed and which would be appreciated. If not wishing to ask them directly it would be appropriate to ask a relative. If this is not possible, than any gift for the baby would be happily received. Baby presents are fun to buy, as well as give, with all the beautiful things that are on today’s market.
