Baby powder is a popular baby shower gift. If you’re a new parent, you’ll probably have more than you know what to do with. Many parents don’t use much of it for their baby, so rather than let it collect dust, you can use it around your home. 

Here are a few suggestions:

Halloween: You can make your hair white by sprinkling baby powder in it. One reader, Palooka from Missouri, shares: “When I was a teen, I dressed up for work as an old lady. I put my hair in a bun, poured tons of baby powder in it to make it look gray and wore my mom’s robe and slippers.” This works well for school plays, too.
