10 Adorable Colorado Baby Shower Gifts

colorado baby shower gifts


There are so many amazing mommy and baby brands and local shops here in Colorado! I wanted to share some of my favorite Colorado baby shower gift ideas that are super adorable, functional and unique…

  1. Make My Notebook is a company in Edgewater that I had discovered when my son was still a baby. It was at a local craft show and I thought these were just the cutest! What makes this notebook unique is that it is a 100% US sourced product that is  made as environmentally responsible as possible. You get to customize the notebook too! You choose the color of the binding, the type of paper, and the color of the cover. This notebook is great for those super busy new moms that want to jot down notes here and there but may not have time to fill out an entire baby book.

2. If you know the mom-to-be is planning on cloth diapering… I personally LOVE Kangacare  diapers. Designed in Golden, these popular cloth diapers come in SO many cute patterns and colors ! They also sell many other products such as diaper bags,baby carriers, and teething toys.

 

 

 

3. Natural Day Shop makes teethers and rattles made of BPA free, food grade silicone beads and all natural wood beads that are sealed with her own mixture of organic beeswax and organic coconut oil. I love the bright vivid colors on the beads!

***For a 10% discount on orders over $5.00 use code newmommasurvival***

 

 

 

4. Boba Baby Carriers are my favorite ! When my son was still being carried I tried on SO many kinds of baby carriers and this one was my favorite by far. It is so comfortable, comes with a sleeping hood, and I loved that it can hold up to 45 pounds! It does a great job of distributing the weight evenly and it is very easy to adjust the straps. Once in awhile if I really want to sweat and my son wants to… I will still carry him around on my back for a bit. But not long! He is huge ha!colorado baby shower gfts

 

 

 

5. Mountain Knots is another Etsy shop that is local and makes charming crocheted hats. These are great for those mommas-to-be that may not know the sex of their baby yet because this hat in particular can be gender neutral! Keep those little ears warm and stylish with one of these!

6.  The Boulder Baby Company makes natural body care products for babies and kids. All their products are free of Toxins, Sulfates, Parabens, Synthetic Fragrances, and Phthalates, as well as Vegan and Gluten Free! We have used the shampoo/body wash and love it! It smells amazing and is gentle my son’s sensitive skin. You can buy the shampoo we use HERE.

7. I always get a little something for the Mommy-to-be because this is the time that they need some pampering! When I think of how my back ached and those huge swollen feet… yikes. Momma needs something for herself! I first found Queen of the Meadow (Fort Collins) at a craft show I believe. Or maybe even a farmers market. Either way, I have been loving and using her products for three or four years now and everything she makes is such a high quality that they seem to last forever ! I still have some solid perfumes that are so buttery and smell so delicious that are over 2 years old. (They make great cuticle oil too). She makes soap, lotion bars, facial moisturizer, bath salts… she even sells ready- to- go gifts that are wrapped up in eco-friendly packaging. HUGE fan over here!

8.Hip Violet makes THE most darling baby bibs! She has so many fabric choices, I am sure anyone could find a print that they love. Can we just admire this precious Rainbow Brite print?? And the camping and mountains… I just love them all! Babies need bibs, and quite a few if you don’t want to do laundry every single day. Get the mommy-to-be a few of these in fun prints for a thoughtful, handmade gift! For free shipping  (US only) – use coupon code NEWMOMMA.

 

 

 

9.Counter Couture (Denver) has super soft baby onesies that have reinforced three snap closures and are printed with Non-toxic, lead free inks. I really love every single one! It was so hard for me not to just share with you all every single photo. Seriously, how cute are these? (And the kiddos!)

Denver baby boutiques

 

 

10. If you are local here near Denver, there are many really great baby boutiques that have SO many great baby shower gifts. Here are my favorites:

– Talulah Jones is a store that you can just spend HOURS in. This uptown boutique is actually quite small in size compared to some but there is so much to look at. You could walk through there twice and still miss things. Their baby and kid section is just magical. I believe it can give anyone baby fever looking at all those sweet little onesies and booties and toys. They sell a lot of very unique items there and their window displays are always so charming.

–Real Baby is over on Tennyson St., one of my favorite streets! I always take my friends and family here that are visiting from out of state because there are so many cute shops and restaurants within walking distance of each other. Perfect girls day spot! This store is filled with so many great baby and kid products and I really love the Colorado onesies and t-shirts they sell here.

–Jolly Goods is also on Tennyson St. and carries many different handmade, unique pieces from local artisans. They have onesies, organic cotton burp cloths, teethers, kids shirts, handmade greeting cards and so much more. I really love how they support local artists there and that you can find some really unique handmade items.

 

I hope this gives you some ideas for gifts or maybe even for yourself! Lets support these amazing local businesses and be sure to show them some love on instagram too! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Memorial Day ! Thank you to those who courag Happy Memorial Day !
Thank you to those who courageously gave their lives for our freedoms. 🇺🇸
Whew what a week ! Thank goodness for church and t Whew what a week ! Thank goodness for church and the good Word to renew and fill me with hope. Last week was a doozy and felt like it wouldn't ever end. Good & bad things happened, but more bad than I'd like. My grandma passed away and then we were in a stressful scramble for 2 days trying to figure out who could take care of our animals and dogs and garden & afford flights, a hotel and rental car to go to Chicago for the services(we ended up just having to book a flight for me & Liam and my husband and Theo will stay behind to hold down the homestead). We had a big playhouse we bought off FB marketplace delivered that Nate and Liam have been repairing and painting. It's turning out great ! I know many memories will be made in there, and I can't wait to share the before & afters. Though my poor husband has way too many projects going on at once again. 😬 
 My dog tried to eat baby bunnies. Twice 🤦‍♀️ Liam got some kind of poison ivy or poison oak rash all over and now today it has gotten pretty bad. His poor little cheek is all red and swollen and he's miserably itchy. Last night while driving home from a restaurant, I hit a coyote that jumped across the highway. Our brand new car's bumper is wrecked. 
The other day I went to the garden to find all the marigolds I planted next to my tomatoe plants died out of nowhere, and something is eating my pole beans. 🙃 
How I've been coping ? 
1. Finally cracking open a prayer journal I got for Christmas from my best friend and pouring my heart out. 
2. Spurts of intense deep cleaning that makes me utterly exhausted 
3. Trying to plan a couple fun things while Liam and I are in Chicago for a few days. Liam was SO excited it would just be us two going on this trip because we don't get much time just the two of us since Theo was born. I want to make the best of it and think it will be nice for the focus to be on Liam for a few days. 

Even though life has been busy and crazy and sad, I still just feel incredibly grateful and blessed for what the Lord has given me and my family. I'm ready to be home and hug my family and celebrate the beautiful life of my Grandma Alice.
Do you have plans to go camping with your kids thi Do you have plans to go camping with your kids this Summer ? I have a blog post from a few years ago that has a free printable kids packing list. This checklist gives kids an easy to follow list to be independent and responsible for their own pack for a weekend camping trip. 
I don't know if we'll get to camping before baby gets here in July, but we plan to camp this Autumn for just short weekend getaways. 
Now that Liam is 3 years older since creating that checklist, I may even add a couple more things. A tick remover to be added to his first aid kit would be helpful, and having his own bug spray. 
Head ro the blog (link in my bio) to see the list and let me know if you'd add anything to it ! 😊 
Tell me about your camping trips this Summer ! I'd love to know ⛺️
Yesterday Bowie brought home a limp baby bunny tha Yesterday Bowie brought home a limp baby bunny that I'm guessing was about 10 or so days old. His eyes were barely open. I had to scoop him up and push my dog out of the way who was super confused as to why I was so mad at him. I kept him warm and he snuggled into my arm and belly and fell asleep 😭 Liam searched and searched the thick brush at the edge of the forest, and deep into a thorn-covered bush, there was the little burrow with a few other little baby bunnies. He snuggled right back in next to them. 
Bowie got into their burrow again today ! 😩 Liam was devastated, but I think they're alright. 
Then we realized a finch made a beautiful nest with 3 little eggs in our shed, so we have to find a new home for the sweet nest as we're having our shed moved soon on our property to use as a chicken coop and to make way for building a garage. Any tips on how to safely move a bird's nest? 😬 
And before anyone comes at me for not wearing gloves to pick this little babe up, there was no time. And it's a myth that a mama rabbit will reject their young just because they smell weird. We've had baby bunnies before and I'm guessing mama just gave them a good bath.
One of the most important people in my life made h One of the most important people in my life made her way up to heaven yesterday. My grandma Alice, my boy's GG, I imagine is slow dancing with Grandpa John and he's smiling with his blue eyes and saying "about time, Alice". My Grandma raised 5 children, was  devoted to her church, gave to charities that were close to her heart, had many friends, traveled all over the world, and loved her husband fiercely. She was an amazing mother and THE best grandmother. I never went to her house without a proper tea time complete with cookies and little snacks. She took care of my family when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 acute Leukemia when I was just 3 months old. 
She was one of the first people I would call with good news, like when Nate proposed or I found out I was pregnant, or we were buying a house. She gave the best warm sincere hugs. Her laugh was contagious. I like to think my love for singing, roses, history, birds, and hosting comes from her. She made holidays so fancy and special. If I close my eyes I can hear the crackle of the fireplace at an Aubele Christmas party with a house full of Aubele's talking louder and louder with the smell of coffee and sweets in the dining room on the buffet. Laughter & warmth filling every inch of that house. I have always dreamed of a large family because of her. She was an amazing storyteller and often told me stories of our ancestors. And we have some pretty crazy family stories! She was proud to be Ojibwa and often reminded me to be proud as well. She was an amazing seamstress and made her grandchildren dolls & dresses & teddy bears. Family was the most important thing to her, and I knew at a young age that serving my own family someday was also what I wanted to do. 
Even though she passed yesterday, I have been mourning my grandma for over a year. Dementia took hold of my sweet Grandma Alice and I couldn't call her on the phone anymore. When I saw her this April, she had no idea who I was or who my Dad, her own son, was. I couldn't call to tell her I was pregnant with my 3rd son. I couldn't call to tell her I moved from MT to VA and that we bought a homestead. My grandma has been gone for some time👇🏼
