Reposted on: 10.11.11 2248.29 | Anyone have any good ideas for a really quirky artist couple? I'm sure I'll just end up sending onesies and bibs because they're useful. But, I'd like to send something cooler. Suggestions? | Promote this thread! |             | Tomboy

Reposted on: 10.11.11 2331.51 | | You could take said bibs and onesies and clothes-pin them on to a piece of rope. Decorate the pins with little pink or blue baby things (can find at a craft store like AC Moore). Arrange the clothes line with things attached in a basket or a hamper so when mom starts at one end the clothes will unfold, so to speak. I dunno if that makes sense but it's a really unique way to recieve a gift. | Dutchie

Reposted on: 11.11.11 2329.13 | At a baby shower a few years ago, we had all chipped in for onesies and bibs and decorated them ourselves, then wrapped them and gave them all to the parents. It's a practical gift but a little more personalized and fun than happy little bears and bows.
I had also seen a website that showed baby stuff, like bibs, onesies, receiving blankets, etc., folded up into animal shapes. The eyes, mouths, ears, wings and feet were rattles and pacifiers. I'll do a search for the page or see if it's still linked in the bookmarks on the other computer and edit this if I find it. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
