A second baby is on the way to dear friends and it is a boy!
I made the shower for baby #1, a girl, and I understand the second baby gets a Sprinkle.
Any cute ideas for favors for a baby boy?

All I can think of is cupcakes with blue sprinkles.

I guess times have changed but there was never a baby shower after the first baby. I had a diaper pounding with my second given to me by my church. One friend had a frozen meal stock up for her third. LOL. So much more helpful then new onesies. My DD second baby, her friends wanted to give a shower. I suggested instead of baby gifts not needed, if guests wanted to give a gift bring a child's book. DD was thrilled.

I had a second baby shower but it was 13 years after the first one so needed some fresh things it was just a small intimate gathering.

The tea light idea is very cute, Up North.

Everybody at work has had a baby shower for the first & the second. So far, the excuse given was, well, she didn't work here when she had the first one. But the last baby shower, given to someone who said she didn't want one because she already had one from us for her first baby, was called a Sprinkle. I had never heard that term before -- I thought they made it up!

Up North -- my previous place of employment made a big deal about someone who was having her second baby after 9 or so years. So she never got a baby shower. I made her a quilt anyway, even though she worked in a different office than I did & I didn't know her very well. But when one of the doctors in the group got pregnant with her second, guess what happened? Yep, she got a baby shower! People who make not much more than minimum wage giving to a doctor! Aargh!

Anyway, times have changed, haven't they? If it gives you joy, Dotty, to do this for someone, go for it. Life is too short. I have seen small baby bottles filled with candies. That's about it. I like Up North's idea.

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails?

This baby is a boy, so the adoring relatives don't want him in pink onesies. I made the first baby shower and it was co-ed.
It was great! I love the tealights and they can be mailed to those who can't come. There will be gifts for the big sister I bet. I have already looked for anatomically correct dolls. My daughter had one when her little brother arrived. Much loved, both the doll and the brother. I think this couple will surely need a double stroller!

What month is the Sprinkle?
