The day of the baby shower is just around the corner, and you're still wracking your brain, hoping to figure out the right kind of gift to buy for the expecting mother. With so many options out there, where should you start? Gift registries, gift idea magazines, even articles such as this have so many ideas to throw at you, that it's quite easy to get overwhelmed. Well, you should try and start simply.

First, consider the big ticket items that are very popular as baby shower gifts. Cribs, bassinets, Moses baskets, and other furniture items are popular choices for gifts for a baby shower. Of course, these items are somewhat expensive, so in many cases it is the close family member or friends of the mother to be that purchase them. Or, party guests may get together and purchase a playpen, car seat, recliner or other high-priced baby shower gift as a group present.

More economical choices for baby shower gifts are popular for obvious reasons. It's always nice to be able to give the mommy-to-be your very own present, one that is just from you, will be enjoyed, but won't necessarily send you over budget. These types of gifts for a baby shower include such essentials as diaper bags, travel packs for the car, baby wipe warmers, diaper pails, crib bedding sets, baby monitors, bottle warmers, slings and baby carriers.

Finally, there is quite a list of low-end baby shower gifts that don't cost a lot, but definitely provide the recipient with function and appeal. Packages of diapers, diaper organizers and changing table organizers, books on parenting and babies, baby toiletries like nail clippers and brushes and combs, bibs, bottles and pacifiers, other eating utensils like plates and bowls, and toys and soft, plush animals.

Of course, you don't necessarily have to purchase pre-manufactured and pre-packaged baby shower gifts. If you really know the interests and preferences of the expecting mother, consider putting together a care package for her, her baby or even both of them. If she is planning on breastfeeding, skip the purchase of bottles, and instead assemble a care package that contains supplies and essentials for breastfeeding. The same approach could be used for a woman who is planning on using cloth diapers for her baby. Your choice of baby shower gifts for her might be a package of cloth diapers and covers.

Remember, no matter what you choose to purchase for your choice of a baby shower gift, be sure to remove price tags and include a gift receipt before the day of the shower.

The ancient Celtic New Year festival of Samhain became known in Christian times as Halloween when like many other ancient Celtic festivals it was adapted by Christianity. It marks the end of Celtic pastoral year when the herds of domesticated animals were led back to the shelter of their stalls for the winter and the beginning of the new year which is marked by ancient customs of ritual cleansing and renewal. Great splendid, dramatic and terrifying events occur at this time and it is the occasion of joyful celebration.

Throughout the Celtic world, all fires were extinguished and ritually reignited from the sacred druidic ceremonial fires. All night the landscape was illuminated by countless sacred fires. It was a magical and very spiritual time when the separation between the earthly world and the Otherworld disappeared and for a moment man and spirit had free access to the Other's world. Magical horses, bulls and birds, fairies and other strange and wonderful creatures are said to have wandered freely about the land.

Some tales tell of two young men tempted into crossing over by a beautiful fairy woman into a house full of revelers, who are feasting and dancing wildly. There one of the young men accept a cup of fairy wine while his companion leaves. The companion returns on the morrow only to find friend, house and women vanished, not to be seen again until the following Halloween when they and the young man are seen again, still dancing.

And there are many more stories too numerous to mention here.

My name is Maire Ni Gallachoir and I am Irish. I was raised surrounded by the legends and symbols of the Ancient Celts.

My mother would tell me some of them before I would go to bed, and as a result I would have very colorful dreams.

Even though I know a lot about the Celts and their wonderful culture, I still read every book I can find on the subject.

And now I want to share some of this knowledge with you.

I hope you will enjoy every moment you spend reading my articles.

In Spirit,

Men's Blue Sailor Uniform Halloween Costume

You bet! They were most definitely in the minority but they were never the less there and very able. So don't worry about sacrificing your well established credibility among your fellow renaissance faire friends when you buy a really cool and very authentic pirate costume...one you wanted bad, you wanted real bad! Rest assured you are in the right when you carry your own cutlass!

More later about who you can base you character on but first let's get to that killer outfit designed with the essentials. Did I mention that this is also a costume that is not only renaissance faire appropriate but will wear well at that Halloween party where we adults get to dress up or down, your call.

Chemise

The chemise, the foundation for ALL renaissance era clothing or costumes is important. The fortunate thing about a pirates costume is that if they were a pirate and were caught they typically were executed. So flaunting the statuary laws by dressing above their station and risking a fine was not a major concern, know what I mean? All chemise styles, fabrics and colors, except purple of course are appropriate for your new festival garb. Stick to the full length version even though you are running with the guys.

Over dress

If you are going to base your costume on the pirate why not be the captain? Do you want to be climbing the rigging or swabbing the decks? Didn't think so! You will however need to be armed. A loose fitting chemise and equally loose over dress can hide many weapons.

Boots

Thigh high boots, maybe for that Halloween party but not at the local renaissance faire. It would not be quite authentic and would most definitely be uncomfortable walking around in them at the fair all day. You will want them to be black leather and calf high. They will not be as fitted as most women wear today but loose and roll down a little at the top.

Lady Mary Killigrew

She was a daughter of a pirate and married to a pirate from Suffolk England. Her husband was appointed by Queen Elizabeth I to the rank of Vice-Admiral and was charged with suppressing piracy. When the good captain Sir Killigrew went to sea the Lady Mary "commandeered" her castle staff and went to sea herself. Her luck finally ran out in 1570 when she captured a German merchant carrying freight and sailed it to Ireland to see what she could get for her pirates work.

One problem the owner of the vessel she pirated was a friend of Queen Elizabeth, this is not a good thing. There are multiple versions of what took place next but the outcome was that she quit the pirating business...and took up fencing stolen goods! What a gal!

Want to learn more about the Renaissance Faire and the appropriate costumes to wear? Stop by my Renaissance Faire Costumes blog and learn more about the clothes of the Nobles, Peasants and Court of Renaissance Europe. Lady Mary was a pirate but lets not forget she was also a Noble Lady so she may have also worn a beautiful Avon Jupon gown of velvet with a satin chemise. One costume is never enough!
