Why books are the perfect present for a baby “sprinkle”

Posted on August 15, 2018, by Brittany Anderson.

I had never heard of a baby “sprinkle” until doing research for this article on book request wording.  Apparently it’s a thing, and I gotta say, I love the name.

As I understand it, while a shower is customary for new moms, just a sprinkle is what you have for their subsequent births — those seasoned moms in the trenches who don’t need a deluge of baby gear this time around, but whom you still want to gather around to honor and celebrate.

Now, if I may, I’d like to suggest that the perfect sprinkle gift has got to be a book. (You knew I’d say that, didn’t you? This site is, after all, all about the books.) Here’s why books are the perfect gift for a baby sprinkle:

  1. They don’t take up much space.
  2. They’re inexpensive.
  3. They’re fun and easy to buy.
  4. They’re portable.
  5. They offer a vastly preferable alternative to television, video games and other tech, especially for young children. And noisy toys — definitely preferable to noisy toys.
  6. You can never have too many. Go ahead and try. I dare you!

Books truly are the perfect gift for a baby sprinkle. (Forgive me. I just wanted to say “sprinkle” again.)
