DIY Gift Basket
Don’t want to get one item or are all the good items from the registry gone? Don’t worry—go to the
store and make a gift basket with smaller items. Add in some onesies, baby bottles, baby shampoo
and other items the new mom will need. You can also make mom a travel pack for when she goes to
the hospital, which will include a brush, snacks, and other items she might not even think about.

few girlfriends together and get one nice gift. Still not sure what to get? Check out WeeSpring.com to
