*CONTEST ENDED. WINNER ANNOUNCED.*When my daughter is sick the last thing she wants is to be bothered with things like having her temperature taken. She is usually miserable and irritated. Who can blame her? I feel the same way. We were given an ear thermometer as a baby shower gift. I think we’ve used it about five times because it is so difficult to use and so uncomfortable for her.
The Exergen TemporalScanner is easy to use because all you need to do is slide the thermometer over the center of the forehead for just 2-3 seconds while holding down the scan button. When you hear beeping and see the red light flash you know it is working correctly. Release the scan button and you will see the temperature on the display.
From the website:
The TemporalScanner Thermometer has been clinically tested for accuracy compared to rectal thermometers and temperature sensors inserted in the heart during course of patient treatment and accepted for use in major hospitals, making it the ideal thermometer for use with newborns, infants, children or adults.
The TemporalScanner has patented software, providing arterial heat balance. This unique process determines temperature by accurately measuring the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling (warming) caused by heat loss (gain) to the environment.
My Review:
I only used this while my daughter was well (thank goodness) but it was very easy to use. The directions helped me understand the TemporalScanner inside and out and what to do if there are any problems. I tried it on myself and my husband too. So it works on adults too. That is important to me with my health problems. This is good for anyone who is sick often. It is well made and feels solid in my hand. Now that I own one I am going to put this on my baby shower gift list. No more ear thermometers for new moms!

Diapers are the most practical since you use so many.
Babysitting for a night out when mom and dad feel ready to leave the house (and the new baby).
Lots & lots of diapers! Plus crib sheets & the cute little outfits that hopefully they’ll wear at least once before they outgrow them!
I love jellycat truffles sheep they are so cute and make great baby shower gifts
Best gift was diaper service for the first year from my mother in law!
The best Baby Shower gift would be a BOB Jogging Stroller!

i always give diapers & wipes — because every parent can’t get enough of those!

Batteries, which sound silly but practically every baby toy/swing/rde on needs batteries!
This is so cool! You can take a temperative without “inserting” it. YAY
Diapers, wipes and Onesies…you can never have too many of any of em.
diapers are always a good gift
God bless!
I think ther perfect gift is crib sheets. You really can’t have too many.
A very practical gift is Diapers, and lots of em. The last shower I went to I made my own basket with a box of diapers, an ear thermometer (wish I had seen one of these instead) a nose cleaner, a baby medicine spoon. an infants medicine mouth syringe. Things one needs but few people think to get.
Either diapers or a gift card to get what was not received at the baby shower!
I think that this thermometer is the best…I want to win it for my niece who’s expecting in July. If I don’t win it, I will definitely buy her one…I wish this was around when my son was younger.
To me the perfect baby shower gift would be diapers. You can never have enough. Thanks for the contest.

Have a great day.
I think a perfect baby shower gift is a car seat.
Shilo Beedys last blog post..Chefdruck Contests
The perfect baby shower gift that I got myself and try to give to other people was bottles, diapers and a bouncer. The bouncer was something I loved. I could take my baby with me throughout the house and the vibrations soothed them.
I agree with the thought that diapers are a perfect gift, but I like the idea of dressing it up some with one of those diaper cakes–practical and cute in addition!
A perfect baby shower gift is a basket stocked full of things like baby clippers, nose drops, rash ointment, etc.
The perfect baby shower gift would be diapers.
I always give the basic necessities–diapers, baby wipes, baby lotion, baby powder, onesies, clothes, baby item coupons, etc.
Great offer.
perfect baby shower gift – one of those cute new nursing covers, I would want a few of them in different designs. I also love really beautiful baby quilts because they make a wonderful wall decoration and keepsake. You can find wonderful nursing covers and baby quilts on etsy
One of my favorite gift was a briefcase filled with little noses and little tummies items along with a book.
Perfect baby shower gift….diapers. You can NEVER have too many.

For me the perfect shower girft is CLOTH diapers!!!!
I think the perfect gift is diapers and more diapers along with babysitting coupons from friends and family.

The perfect shower gift is “gift certificates” for free dinners and babysitting services from a trusted friend or relative.

Books! Never to young to read to baby.
Lots of diapers.
The perfect baby shower gift to me would be a gift card to a baby/child store. It doesn’t sound personal enough but you can dress it up by tucking it in a small basket of baby lotions or flowers or on the top of a diaper cake. New parents are often financially pinched and having a gift card will help when diapers run out before payday or a new outfit is desperately wanted.
Gift cards are always nice, but I think an even MORE perfect gift is an open offer to baby sit– any time, any place. My new mom friends have appreciated this more than any material gift!
Thank you!
I think the perfect baby shower gift is diapers.
I think the best baby shower gifts are personal things. A friend made my baby a very simple quilt with different textures and a teddy bear out of the same material. I love it.

My daughter gets super high temperatures–usually between 104 and 105–and usually in the middle of the night. They have to be carefully monitored. This would make it so much easier and less intrusive.
I love to crochet, and my favorite thing to make is a baby blanket! I’ve given several at showers and the moms-to-be always love them.
I think that a pack of cloth diapers is great. They can be used as diapers or as burp rag. We wore ours out. Regular diapers are always good, too.

The perfect inexpensive gift to me is books. The perfect higher price gift is a stroller or car seat! Thanks for the chance!
I like to give a gift that will last . So I look for something durable. I too like to give books. I have also given portable food grinders.
The perfect baby shower gift…hum Well what I always get people are a baby bath tub FULL of bathroom products for baby AND mom. And I always throw a gift card in there for Wal-Mart for mom to get anything they may need.

diapers!! … and a lil rubber duckie
diapers and wipes – can’t ever get enough of ‘em
Have made diaper cakes, for a long time, to take to office baby showers.
Diapers, diapers and more diapers. They are so expensive. I tried to be the good mom and do cloth diapers, just didn’t work out for me so I say diapers are the best baby shower present you can give. Also go one size up when you give them at the shower because they are going to get (hopefully) size newborn or 1, so go to size 2 because they well need them quickly.

Thank you, I am really wanting one of these Exergen Temporal Scanners.
You can’t go wrong with diapers!
For me the best shower gift is something that the mom would not have bought on her own but it turns out to be a lifesaver so this would vary from person to person. For me the perfect gift was the Boppy pillow – I wasn’t going to buy one (“I’ll use a regular pillow”, “Mothers have managed without one for centuries” etc.). I LOVE it and recommend to everyone.
Cash or a gift card – let her decide what to buy.
I love giving a ton of small things, bibs, washcloths, toys, blankets all in a diaper pail
a set of rechargeable batteries. might sound corny, but its something i use every day!

There are so many things that could be the perfect gift. Such as diapers and wipes. Also bath products for the little one and onesies a momma and daddy can not have to many of anything to be honest
The perfect gift is those little trash bags that hook to the stroller for the dirty diaper and a gift certificate to a spa for the new mommy!
I think one of those cloth diaper cakes would be perfect!

The perfect gift would be soft blankets, they can be used in so many ways!
Diapers is all our daughter asks for
They are one of those items that are always needed and you can never have enough of.
Thank you for this offer.
The best baby shower gift I ever gave was I bought a large collection of things I figured no one else would get — baby nail clippers, medicine measurers, etc. When I gave it to the expectant parents, the dad who is a nurse kept exclaiming over every item that they needed it and no one had thought to get them any of that!
Maybe I missed it, but I’m surprised no one has mentioned an obvious item — A “DiaperGenie” was one of the most useful items we acquired.
Although a key realization (which the vendor will hate to have bandied-about) is that you can use standard kitchen trashbags “just fine” without resorting to the expense of their “consumable item” (like ink being the actual economic driver for lowcost printers), i.e., the replacement packages of bagging plastic.
My perfect baby shower gift is a three tiered diaper cake with onesies packed into it and a Bumbo Baby Seat wrapped up in the box as the fourth tier.
I have to agree with most of the comments here — diapers, in bulk-discount-sized packages, will have the largest impact on a new mother’s budget, as much as anything because it frees up funds for those little things that warrant a certain joyful experience of being personally selected.
I think necessities like diapers and wipes are a great gift!

The perfect baby shower gift is a gift certificate to a cleaning service. Seriously, what new mom isn’t exhausted and couldn’t use a hand with the housework?
A crib
A perfect gift would be lots of cash to pay not only for the medical expenses, but also setting up a safe environment for the baby when the child comes home.
Seems to me that all children need nurturing and loving parents to provide a safe loving environment in which the child can grow, so loving parents would be a phenomenal gift.
diapers and bibs!
I remember really appreciating all the diapers I got. They lasted me quite a while!
I would say the perfect baby shower gift is a Bobby pillow. I loved mine and couldn’t live without it so I think it’s great!
