Several years ago I made it a habit to give handmade gifts, especially for baby showers, but over the years I have let it dwindle away. Recently I came up with an idea that is sort of handmade but without all the work.........................................
I go to my local used clothing store and find a cute basket and fill it with baby items. This one has disposable diapers lined around the inside, a rattle, a small baby bottle (from the dollar store) and a little cotton summer outfit that happened to be in the same color scheme of pink and purple. Makes for something a little different and saves money not buying one of those gift bags.
Do you have a favorite way to give gifts?
I'm not quite as creative - I buy gift bags:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Cute.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm not crafty, this looks like a perfect idea for me to copy! Otherwise, wrapping is always a problem for me. :-(

That is a wonderful idea. I need to fix us several since there is a baby boom going on in our family right now.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea!
ReplyDeleteI normally buy stuff that are edible like chocolates and cookies as presents. It's tough finding something someone wants without spending an arm and a leg.
My nieces wanted an American Doll each for their birthdays. And I found out those "dolls" cost about $90 each. Yikes!
