gift for women over 65 image
NaeNae Jam
So my mom is throwing me a baby shower in a few months and I can't help but want everything just right. I am inviting about 65 people and need some good ideas for 'thank you' gifts to give everyone that comes. Candy is sweet, but . . . I want to put a little something more that really shows my appreciation! Any ideas?
Answer
wow, 65 guests! I don't even know 65 women i could invite to a shower lol!!
I am hosting my SIL's baby shower later this month for 30 odd guests and had made my own favours
I took one square sheet of scrapbooking paper and cut it into 4 squares. Each square is folded into a little rectangular parcel and the end taped up. I put one little chocolate frog into each parcel thru the still open end.
Then i made book marks on microsoft word and laminated them, that say
"This bookmark is given
to remember
Kelleyâs
new chapter in life"

Thank you for sharing in this special day!
27 /09 /09
and also typed up this little phrase and printed it out and cut them out...
Thank you for your gift that we will soon see,
And thank you for your kindness and generosity!
Mum is sending this note of thanks because I am yet to arrive,
And even when I do, I wonât write good till Iâm five!
I then attached the book mark and thank you note to each side of the little parcel by punching a hole in the open end of the parcel and the top of the book mark and thank you phrase and used ribbon to secure it all together.
The end product looks really cute and 'classy' and appropriate for every woman. Plus its cheap to make but a bit time consuming but worth it. I like the hand made touch and think it brings something a little more special to the day.
You could also give each guest a fresh flower, like a gerbera, with a thank you note & wrapped chocolate attached to the stem with a ribbon as a gift as they leave. Plus they make great decorations during the shower, and are available in large quantities at a not too expensive price. Every woman likes flowers & chocolate!
I've also printed name tags that i will write on and pin on everyone as they arrive that say
"My name is ________
I am Kelley's ________" (mother, aunt, collegue, neighbour etc..)
this is so everyone knows who each other is especially when you have a large group. I think its a bit of an ice breaker.
I have also purchased 50 little plastic baby bootie charms off ebay and am using large baby nappy pins to secure one to each guest as they arrive. If they say 'baby' during the shower, they have to give a bootie pin to the person that caught them saying it. The person who has the most booties pinned on them at the end of the shower gets a prize!
hope that helps!

What should I get my mom and dad for Christmas?
Q. They are always doing so much for me so i want to get them a nice gift. So let me tell you about them. My mom loves to play piano,cook,run,and likes to look at the things in the coach store but never buys anything there. My dad likes the two and a half men show, to cook on the grill, and pretty much any sports show on tv. I know I asked this more than once but I need more ideas. Thanks in advance
