• Polka dots are an adorable shower theme that presents gift givers with the opportunity to purchase or make a variety of coordinating baby items. A polka dot diaper cake can make a simple one-tier gift or an elaborate four-tier centerpiece. Less craft-inclined individuals can prepare a basket full of polka dot items or purchase polka dot room coordinates.
  
  

Diaper Cakes

• Diaper cakes are always a big hit with shower guests and honorees, and it's easy to create one with a polka dot theme. Make a three-tier diaper cake by filling a 12-inch round cake pan with diapers, one handful at a time, and pressing the diapers against the edge until the pan is full. Fill a 10-inch and then an eight-inch round cake pan with diapers in the same way. Wrap a ribbon around the diapers in each pan, tie it tightly to keep the diapers together and remove the diaper cakes from the pans. Wrap each cake in a polka dot baby blanket. Stack the 10-inch and then the eight-inch cake on top of the 12-inch cake. Wrap each of the tiers with a three-inch wide polka dot ribbon and then wrap the entire diaper cake in polka dot tulle netting to keep it secured.
  
  

Gift Baskets

• Put on your creative hat and create a large gift basket filled with polka dot baby items. Layer a polka dot baby blanket on the bottom of the basket. Wrap four or five polka dot receiving blankets into tight rolls and wrap a polka dot ribbon around each to keep them closed. Spread these out around the inner edges of the basket. Carefully fold up a polka dot layette, comprised of a baby outfit, sleeper, onesie, bib and baby cap, and place it in the center of the basket. Add a folded polka dot shopping cart seat cover and fill the remainder of the space with smaller polka dot baby items such as baby bottles and teething toys. Wrap the entire basket in polka dot tulle netting and tie it at the top with a polka dot ribbon and bow.
  
  

Room Decor

• Polka dot baby room coordinates will be appreciated by any polka dot-loving mother-to-be. Find out the color scheme for the baby's room and purchase a polka dot crib bedding set that complements it. If your budget allows it, add matching window treatments and a diaper stacker. If you're shopping on a budget, consider giving a homemade polka dot baby blanket or a set of polka dot baby towels and washcloths.
