Receiving Blanket Candies

I did these for my son's baby shower. They are really cute. You can fill a small basket with blankets, they look like candies.

Approximate Time: 1/2 hour

Supplies:

receiving blankets
Saran Wrap
ribbon
scissors

Instructions:

Spread your blanket out, start folding your blanket about 2 inches each time until you have folded the whole blanket into about an inch.
Then start rolling it at the end until you have the whole blanket in a roll. Secure the end with tape to hold it.
Wrap with Saran Wrap or coloured paper and tie a ribbon around both ends. Then put them into a basket for decorations.

Ideas For Baby Shower Gifts

A couple of suggestions:

a pack of newborn diapers with a gift certificate/gift card for a store to buy more (diapers cost A LOT!)
A Diaper Genie
A "Mom on the Go" bag: A nice diaper/carry all bag filled with wipes, diapers, pacifier, cotton towel/changing pad, baby bottle with the changable bags that hold the milk, small bottle of hand/cleaning lotion, etc.
What to Expect When You're Expecting book
a subscription to a magazine for mothers (I used to know the name of one but forget)

Baby Shower Gift Wrap

Wrap baby shower gifts with a recieving blanket and secure with diaper pins. Or for a larger gift use a crib sheet. No wasted wrapping paper! :)

This week at a local discount drug store I found children's sand pail/shovel sets on sale for a quarter. I bought several for gift containers for anticipated showers in the near future.

For 3 baby showers a variety of small infant items will be tucked in a pail and covered with a small mesh laundry bag for corralling little socks in the washing machine. The mesh bag will be stitched in yarn with the word "Baby". A simple bow then can be attached as well.

The pail can be used as a small toy box for Baby's little rattles and blocks now and later as a sand pail.

For a wedding shower, a variety of cleaning supplies will be gathered in a pail without the shovel. This will be covered on top with a dish cloth and bow. The pail will provide a kitchen pail for small cleaning jobs.

No gift wrap will be needed with these and everything can be used by the recipient.
