Baby shower gifts

Z baby's playgroup threw a baby shower for one of our fabulous mommies this week. I wanted to do something fun. So I made a baby sock bouquet and a hospital survival kit. The kit well I somehow forgot to take pics of. I just bought some little travel items. I did toothbrush and tooth paste, lotion, Chapstick, make up remover cloths, hand wipes, Kleenex (am I the only one that cried tons of happy tears and hated hospital tissue?!?) and some candies. I stuck it in a bag with some ribbon and a label I made with my cricut that said Hospital Survival Kit. 

The sock bouquet was fun :) bought a pack of  6 socks and then bought fake flowers, a little vase, vase filler rock things and some ribbon at the dollar store.  Found a youtube video and rolled up the lil sock flowers. Then I had the hubs cut the flowers apart since they were all one connected bunch and I ripped off the flower part. Then I ripped off the little leaf base piece that is on the bottom of the flowers. I used some green tape and wrapped around the stems a bit and then slid the leave base part on that. You need the tape to keep it from moving otherwise the leaf base piece just slides all over. Then I just set the sock flowers on the top. Then you have to be careful as the "flowers" are just resting there and will fall off if moved around much. I'm sure there is some far better method than this to secure them but that's what I did and I thought it looked pretty good. Tie a ribbon on the vase and add a cricut made tag and you are set :D
