Babies in Waiting: Hilarious Gifts for Expecting Parents

Good Luck with THAT card for new parents

Good Luck with THAT Card by Creativity

I’m not a big baby person. They smell funny, they’re hot and they leak. However, many of my friends are baby people, so that leaves me the odd man out. Or does it?

Surprisingly enough, it doesn’t! Babies are great in that they create immediate gift-giving occasions. Considering they happen all the time, you don’t have to wait for a holiday or a birthday to come around. This is great for me because my best friend just found out she’s pregnant with her first baby and I can’t wait to start showering her with gifts.

Like many people expecting their first child, she’s a little clueless and totally freaked out in terms of what to expect. I like to ease that sense of anxiety by injecting some humor into the whole situation. After all, laughter is the best medicine. Here is a collection of hilarious gifts that will have you, and the expecting parents, rolling with laughter.

Who would you turn into a cookie?

Custom Cookie Look-Alikes by Parker's Crazy Cookies

Show of hands: who wouldn’t want to eat a cookie in their own likeness? That’s what I thought; it’s everyone’s secret dream! Whether you’re celebrating the boss’s birthday*, looking for a humorous gift for that “has everything” friend, or want a memorable (and much talked about) party favor, these cookie look-alikes are sure to be a hit. Parker’s Crazy Cookies offers custom cookies in the likeness of anyone–even dogs–making them the perfect gift for, well, anyone!

So let’s hear it, Wantists: who would you turn into a cookie?

* I would suggest avoiding a head-first biting strategy in this case… at least not if the boss is watching!

We Are All Freaks & Geeks

Let's be Freaks & Geeks Together

We all came through high school with at least one partner-in-crime, one person who knows all our secrets and survived the gauntlet until graduation. Surprise them with this card, if only so you have an excuse to retell the best-of-the-best from your younger years, whether you were smoking cigarettes in your Trans Am or dodging bullies in the halls.

And never, never cut somebody off mid-funk.

Learn Something Every Day


Back in the day, Snapple cap facts were my fave. I mean, how else would I know that the Statue of Liberty wears a size 879 sandal? Pretty positive that wisdom will come in handy someday.

Naturally, my eyes lit up when I stumbled upon Learn Something Every Day. It’s a simple illustration project started by Young, a creative agency in the UK, and it’s easy to get lost in these drawings for hours. For instance, did you know eating bananas attracts mosquitoes or that pogonophobia is the fear of beards? Cray cray for sure.

I Spy Hipsters

Hipster Bingo

Challenge your friends to a hipster-spotting contest. You already know how to play—snap a pic and be the first to fill your card. Who knows, you might win a fixie! (Not really, it’s just for fun. Unless the hipster fairy visits you in the middle of the night. Maybe put your iPhone under your pillow?)

If you find beards, bangs and Bill Murray endearing like I do, a game like this is icing on a delicious vegan cupcake. Betcha I could step outside and spot them all in a five minute walk to fetch a latte. (Man, I love Portland. And lattes.) Ready, go!
