Baby Showers

Dated : June 02,
Subject: Baby Showers
I take baskets with handles and cover them with batting and cloth in the colors of the baby's decor.
Then I buy a teddy bear and dress it in a T-shirt, diaper, socks-any kind of new-born clothing.
Then I take one of those towels with the hood and drape it over one of the bear's ears.
The rest of the basket I fill with baby bottle, rattle, baby powder, pacifier, etc. Runs about $35 for the entire gift. The basket can be used for the diaper changing supplies and later converted to hold small toys.

Also, I have seen clear 2-liter bottles split vertically in the back and stuffed with baby items. Somehow, a nipple is attached to the top of the bottle and ribbon and streamers tied around the neck. It resembles a giant baby bottle when through.

You can also make a giant bassinet out of plastic canvas and fill it with flowers and make smaller ones for the party favors. You can get the kit from:
