gift basket themes?




photolabla


A few friends and I are hosting a baby shower for a a good friend. There are 70 people coming and we decided that prizes for the games would be themed gift baskets.

Here is what we have so far...

Car Wash
Steelers (we live in PGH)
gardening
games night
date night at home (movie rentals, popcorn, etc)
date night out (restaurant gift cards, movie theater cards, etc)

Any other ideas? These baskets will be for women of all different ages 18-75)



Answer
What a baby shower!!! Those are great gift basket ideas but still a lot of money for a game prize. Money that could go for the mommy to be and baby.

I would keep it simple. Small baskets with yummy goodies, or lotions.

Also you can think about having every one sign up to bring the new parents over a meal. Lunch and Dinner sign up. They just drop it off, no need to come in and chat. Fast easy meals that you can just pop in the over and then throw away the pan.

have fun

personalized baby gift?

My nephew will be born in a couple of months and I wanted to get him something personalized. Problem is they haven't decided on a name. Is there any other way of personalizing a gift? Any website anyone knows of?


Answer
Anything you make will be personal. Also incorporating family photos for his room is a good idea. (Buy a baby boy picture frame in the colors of the nursery and collage pictures of you, your parents, etc...)
Also, my sister made pictures for both of the baby's rooms. For Abigail she just did a splatter painting with pinks, purples and yellow. It was sweet. (*plus it matched Abby's room, so thought was really put into it)
You could learn how to crochet. (I know that sounds hard, but it's so simple. Talk to someone locally and see if they will help you make a baby blanket. My grandmother, neighbor and a woman from church all participated in me making my first baby blanket. I'm sure you know someone who could help you with that).
You could scrapbook your sister (in law's) pregnancy, starting with how they met, the wedding, and then make sure to leave pages for after the baby is born.
This might be the best present, because most new moms drop the ball on photos and scrap booking. I guess it 's all those 2 am feedings, and 4 am and 6am !
