MORE DealDash Tips for Expecting Parents

There’s no need to fear, new parent! DealDash is here to give you even more tips on shopping for the new baby.

If you read the last installment of DealDash Tips for Expecting Parents you’ll know that having everything prepared and ready to go for the baby can help ease the stress and worry a little bit. DealDash is here to let you know what else you might need for your new little bundle of joy. Read on for even more shopping tips.

The Baby Needs a Walker

Baby walkers can be a good tool to help your baby get around as long as you use them responsibly. The baby can sit in the walker comfortably and learn how to use their little legs to move around. This strengthens the legs and gets them used to putting a little bit of weight on their feet. Most baby walkers are adjustable. The walker that my baby has adjusts to three different heights. He is 12 months old and has been using it since he was able to sit up by himself.

I mentioned using the baby walker responsibly. Make sure that someone is watching the baby while they are walking around so they don’t pull anything heavy down on top of them or take anything dangerous off of a table while they are scooting around. Also please be careful that there are no stairways that the baby could accidentally roll down – please use them on your ground floor only. Use caution, be safe, and watch your little baby have fun walking around. My older kids love to chase the baby around the house when he is in his walker. DealDash often has baby walkers available for auction.

The Baby Needs a Play Yard

A Pack N’ Play or portable play yard is exactly what you need to put your baby into while you are busy doing chores that would prevent you from keeping a close eye on your baby. The play yard is the new version of the “playpen” from when we were younger. The play yard is smaller and is foldable and extremely portable.

When the baby is a newborn they can use it as a bassinet, when they are small they can use it as a playpen, and when they are bigger you can use it to store all of their toys when they aren’t playing with them.

The play yard is also extremely handy to have when you travel with the baby. All three of my babies spent time sleeping in a Pack N’ Play at some point or another. They are fairly inexpensive and I would suggest getting one. DealDash often has Pack N’ Plays available for auction.

The Baby Needs a Swing/Glider

A baby swing is one of those pieces of baby equipment that you think you might not need – until your baby just won’t stop screaming! If you have a fussy baby sometimes all they need is a nice ride in the swing/glider to make them feel better. My 12-month-old was a very fussy infant and sometimes the swing was the only place he would let me put him instead of carrying or wearing him. The swing was a real back-saver! DealDash often has baby swings available for auction.

DealDash Tips for Expecting Parents

Expecting a baby can be a little scary. DealDash can give you some tips on shopping for the new baby.

Having your first baby can be especially scary, though the subsequent babies can be a little frightening as well! Having everything prepared and ready to go for the baby can help ease the stress and worry a little bit. DealDash can’t come to the delivery room with you, but can certainly help you get the baby supplies ready. Read on for some shopping tips.

The Baby Needs a Crib

Co-sleeping is very popular in some areas of the world, but doctors in America usually advise against it. I personally co-slept with one out of my three children, it was the only way that I could get any sleep! Even though I co-slept with her, I still had a crib left over from my first, and she took her naps in the crib. I would advise every parent to have a crib available even if you are planning on co-sleeping. DealDash often has cribs available for auction.

If you don’t want (or have space for) a full crib you can always use a Pack N’ Play or portable play yard as an impromptu crib. These are also extremely handy to have when you travel with the baby. All three of my babies spent time sleeping in a Pack N’ Play at some point or another. They are fairly inexpensive and I would suggest getting one. DealDash often has Pack N’ Plays available for auction.

The Baby Needs a Car Seat and Stroller

Many hospitals won’t let you take your baby out of the hospital without a car seat. For the first 6 months or so most babies ride around in a “baby bucket” type car seat that snaps into a base in the car and can also snap into certain strollers. The baby bucket is extremely useful and makes life a lot easier. It’s much faster to snap the bucket in and out rather than removing the baby. The combination of the baby bucket and the stroller that it snaps into is called a “travel system,” and DealDash often has them available for auction.

The Baby Needs a Baby Monitor

Once you have gotten your little bundle of joy home you’ll want to keep them under your watchful eye. Hopefully you’ll have an easy baby who will sleep by themselves and take lots of naps. This is when a baby monitor comes in extremely handy – you’ll be able to eat and shower while still keeping track of your baby. DealDash often has baby monitors available for auction.

DealDash Tips for Decorating – Bedroom

DealDash always has extremely classy items up for auction. Here are some tips for decorating the bedroom.

The bedroom is one of those places that you use every single day, so you should be happy and comfortable when you relax and sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for having a healthy body and lifestyle, so be sure to decorate your bedroom in a way that you find relaxing and soothing so you can get your best rest. Here are some tips and ideas from DealDash to get you started.

Paint it!

If you can paint your bedroom I would advise that you paint your bedroom a soothing color. I personally prefer something in the blues/grays/lavenders range. These are extremely beautiful and calming colors that would make any bedroom a calming oasis for sleep. If you are striving for a soothing room then try to stay away from colors in the red and orange range. Lowe’s has good prices on paint, and can actually match a particular color if you bring in a sample. DealDash has Lowe’s gift cards up for auction every week. Go visit DealDash now to get a great deal on a gift card to Lowe’s to purchase paint.

Add a Small Elegant Touch

If you’re looking to turn your bedroom into a calm, soothing, and classy room why not add a new piece of art? You could get a small sculpture, an indoor fountain, or even a new painting. If you love art and beautiful things, but prefer to get something practical, you could try a decorative and functional clock. DealDash has many decorative art pieces available for auction. Go check DealDash now and see if you can find an item that suits your tastes.

Get New Bedding

New bedding can really make or break the ambiance in a bedroom. No matter if you have a small double bed or a huge king-sized bed, fresh crisp new bedsheets are extremely important. The color that you choose is up to you, though personally I find that darker colors are better for a restful night’s sleep. However, other people think that light colored sheets look more crisp, fresh, and clean. The choice is yours, and DealDash has many different colors of sheets to choose from including white, cream, green, and blue.

I hope that you found this article helpful, and if you’re ready to do a little redecorating in your bedroom, be sure to see what DealDash has to offer. DealDash has gift cards, art pieces and paintings, and storage. Visit DealDash now to see how much you can save.

DealDash Tips for Home Necessities

Every home has necessities that need to occasionally be replaced. Here’s a tip for you – did yo know that DealDash carries many of these items?

There are so many items in your home that you use daily that probably need to be replaced. These aren’t flashy items that are fun to shop for, so you probably don’t enjoy making a special trip to the mall just to buy them. Luckily for you, though, DealDash stocks these mundane items so you can have fun winning them and skip the trip to the mall!

Towels

Bath towels, kitchen towels, hand towels, and washcloths, what do they have in common? They are items that you probably use multiple times a day and don’t think much about them otherwise. Take a look at your towels now, are they a little threadbare? Do they have those little strings coming off of them that you have to snip off occasionally? Then you need to head right on over to DealDash and get yourself some new towels! DealDash has sets of three and six.

Bedsheets

How many sets of bedsheets do you have? If you only have a few, and change your sheets every couple of weeks, your sheets are getting a lot of washing. The washing machine can be hard on the sheets, and make them thin and uncomfortable and old before their time. If you have more sets of sheets you’ll have more time in-between washings and extend the life of the sheets that you own. DealDash is now offering sheet sets in Queen and King. There are multiple colors to choose from. Go check them out on DealDash.

Comforters

Most people only have one comforter and take it off of the bed to have it dry cleaned. Dry cleaning can take a few days to complete, so you are left without a comforter for a little while. If you were to have two comforters to swap out when the other is getting washed you can keep comfortable and toasty warm at all times. DealDash has very plush All-Season Down-Alternative comforters up for auction. Visit DealDash and enjoy your comfortable night’s sleep.
