Plus, buying one birthstone and <strong>getting her the wrong one<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t bode too well either.<\/p>\n<p><h2>So this is what I advise&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Buy the pendant mounting now<\/strong>&#8230; Do this ahead of time so you&#8217;re ready when the baby decides to &#8220;<strong>pop<\/strong>&#8220;. <\/p>\n<p>\nThen, once you do know the month, have the jeweler set the birthstone.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Simple as that. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>But what is the birthstone?<\/h2>\n<p>\nNow some guys will just wait until the baby comes before they run off to the jeweler in high hopes of finding a cute, little pendant. <\/p>\n<p>\nGranted,<strong> this isn&#8217;t such a bad idea<\/strong>, since jewelers will normally carry a small assortment of jewelry for the <strong>birthstone of the month<\/strong>&#8230; But it does leave you running all around the city trying to find something you like.<\/p>\n<p><h2>It&#8217;s your call.<\/h2>\n<p>\nMy favorite gift to sell expecting fathers are little <strong>baby bootie<\/strong> (like these <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2RPxJPH\">cute booties here<\/a>). Shoe charms are darling. <strong>Ahhhhhhhhhhh!<\/strong> (see picture) They look great in both yellow gold and white gold. Although 14kt gold is better than most other metals if she has <strong>allergic reactions.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><h2>Purchase the charm first&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\nGet the charm first, and then set a gemstone in the foot opening and you have a wonderful, adorable gift.<\/p>\n<p>\nThey make <strong>tons of different styles of baby booties<\/strong> as well, and some already have the birthstones set in them. <strong>You&#8217;ll have to check them out&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Other great pendant charm ideas:<\/h2>\n<p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2CAzarN\">Little boy or little girl charms<\/a>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VXE3E1\">Baby buggy charms<\/a>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VUEz5E\">Teddy bear charms<\/a>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VUEVJw\">Pacifiers<\/a>.
