Several weeks ago I posted about a gift for my friend that just had a baby...I love to take a meal and a small gift to neighbors and friends and this is what I do.
I like to choose a color scheme and make it look great...this time I used black and white and taupe as my color scheme...
I love to make custom tags for plain white gift bags and tie them with cute ribbons and tissue paper.
For babies, I make these cute photo albums/brag books, and maybe a baby powder scented sachet for their drawers.
For new mommies, I dress up a dollar store coffee mug with coffees and chocolates and biscotti...
I love the tag, "Behind every successful woman is a significant amount of caffine" how true!
For older siblings I like to give treats and bubbles...just a little something special for them!
I use these Dollar Store takeout boxes for the meal and wrap them up in pretty bow.
I even make a cute tag for the meal...
I have a lot of fun making these gifts...and luckliy in our neighborhood, there are LOTS of new babies and friends to give them to!

Dear Kristy,
Love your ideas! Thank you for sharing.
After giving a gift for the baby to be at the shower
I have always brought the new Mommy a gift of beauty
or flowers when I visit at the hospital.
I think it's a wonderful thing to do.
Cheers,
CBO

Thank you for visting Starfish Cottage and for your kind comment... I use Stampin Up! stamps for most of my tags...but sometimes print from my computer.
Have a great holiday weekend!

What an absolutely fantastic idea! I know that anyone who receives that must feel so loved and special and I totally cracked up over the tag. So true! Especially in those first few weeks with a newborn. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and talent with us last weekend at Inspiration Friday!

How adorable! I'm always bringing meals to friends with new babies and I've never thought to attach sweet, little tags (not to mention the pretty tulle) to the items I drop off. Thank you for the inspiration!

What are some of your food ideas? Yummies in your tummies is the part I struggle with.
