For a boy or girl..adorable!!

Hi, if the shower is for a boy, you can buy and wash plastic wheelbarrows, dumptrucks, sand pails,..and use to serve chips, nuts and mints. Use the pails to hold the silverware, and napkins. Then, Mom can keep these in baby's room until he is old enough to play with them. If the shower is for a girl, you can buy doll cribs, bath tubs,..and fill with the chips, nuts and dips, mints, and silverware. Once again, Mom can take them home, and baby gets to play with them later. You can also use these items as 'gift baskets' to put the baby gifts in, simply put the gifts in a wheelbarrow, dumptruck, or baby doll bassinet, and wrap with a wide ribbon!! Another wonderful idea, is to get a basket, and notecards, with envelopes and a pen for each guest,..have them each write well wishes, love notes to the new baby, new mom advice, and Mom can take them home, open and read one each day,..a great way to show her you care!! Hope this is helpful to you!!
