Bridal & Baby Shower Gifts to Make
- Moms and brides both appreciate stress relievers, so whip up a batch of bath salts for the baby or bridal shower. Combine approximately 4 cups of sea salt with scented oil or dried herbs in an attractive jar decorated with ribbon or fabric over the lid. Choose lavender or vanilla oils to soothe nerves before the big day.
- Nothing says love to a bride or new mom like a sweet treat to enjoy after their shower. New and pregnant moms will appreciate treats rich in nutrients, such as cookies made with whole wheat flour, flax seed and oats, in addition to yummy chocolate chips. Festive treats, such as homemade truffles and chocolates with a bottle of champagne will be appreciated by excited brides.
- Brides and moms-to-be want to remember every special moment of their journey, so create a personalized book ready to be filled with all the mementos of their pregnancy and wedding. Choose a fabric and cut it to fit any plain photo album. Fold fabric like a paper book cover and use a spray adhesive to glue onto the album. Decorate the cover with ribbon and other sewing notions to make a handmade gift your friend or family member will never forget. Don't' forget to add a selection of scrapbooking paper, stickers and accessories so she can start recording her memories immediately.
