Rub a Duck Baby July 20, 2007

Posted by The Giddy Tiger in : Rainmakers , trackback

When I gave birth to Ethan, we received plenty of baby gifts, but that left me thinking how different the Asian culture is compared to the Western one, especially when it comes to gifts for babies.  In Asia, or in Malaysia at least, mommies and daddies would receive presents and ang-pows AFTER the proverbial stork has delivered the baby.  However, in the West, it is customary to have a baby shower, complete with a theme and of course, plenty of baby shower decorations, BEFORE the baby arrives.  I’ve seen it in so many TV programs, like the one Rachel had in Friends, and I think it would be a cool idea to adopt here in Malaysia.  For one, the mommy-to-be can let her hair down and revel in all the glorious gifts for her baby, which in turn would make her happier and (hopefully) make for a fun delivery!  Plus, isn’t it awesome to have an adorable party with an equally adorable theme such as the Rubber Ducky Baby Shower theme, which is non-gender specific as well as cheerfully attractive?  It would leave the mommy-to-be and her guests totally in the mood to welcome the newborn child!
