New Mommy's Gift Basket

I love making up gift baskets.  I made this basket especially for my daughter in law, and gave it to her at her baby shower.  The new baby gets so many gifts and sometimes the new mommy gets forgotten.  So, I like to make "a new mommy basket", full of items that the new mommy can use to pamper herself.  I love how this one turned out.

Supplies I used.  Candles, body lotion, body wash, blue towels, socks, face wash, little make up bags, some candy and a few other odds and ends.   You can add whatever you like.

  I just stuck with the blue theme, since the baby is going to be a boy.

I usually put rolled up towels to build some depth.   Then add the items around the towels.
It's a good idea to use glue dots to secure the items to each other.  That way everything will stay put and not fall out of the basket.  In this case the basket is a blue bowl.

The Finished product.  Of course, my crazy Vera must be involved. 

A close up.

I finished it up by putting clear wrap around the basked.

Here is the basket, tucked in with the other gifts.
