Baby Shower Basket

If you have not figured it out by now “simple”, “easy” and “basic” are not my middle name. When invited to a dear friends baby shower I knew I had do come up with something great. I know most people buy something off the registery and that’s fantastic. I have a child I know how much that stuff is needed. Then you have the people that go off the handle and buy random crap that is so not needed, but you smile and then take it back to any store that will accept it. I wanted to come up with something somewhere in the middle. Unexpected but needed.

I went out and bought a few things and put them all together in a gift basket setting. I decided to create a poem to include with the basket so that the other guests could ohh and awww as the mother to be read it out loud. I have to say I was going not going for the tears but for the appreciation from everyone else.

Mission accomplished.

Here is the poem and a list of the items that were included in the basket.
