Quick Make #5

A little gag gift for the men in our lives! I have an obsession with tins so this is brilliant!

Quick Make #4

We have a couple friends expecting this year, a thoughtful mum focused basket is a definite gift in plan for us!

Quick Make #3

Perhaps this home made lip balm would make a cutesy party favour for the guests at our christening.....

Quick Make #2

Christening is the buzz word in our house at the moment, seen as I am planning our little missy's. So I am using this time to find some good present ideas for the God Parents.

A Pouf accessory for the ladies?

My latest interests #7

You may have noticed a few changes going on around here recently, as part of my initial time out from work before baby I wanted to get this space a bit more established and interesting to read really :)

Anyway in all my exploring these last few weeks these are some things I am liking:

• These mugs might be being made into a gift for someone as a christmas present this year. Just got to start collecting the bits and pieces :)
• Some poignant information to bare in mind for my labour - which could be any day now that I am considered full term!
• I always seem to be thinking about food.... not sure what that says about me!!! I think I would adapt this recipe a little so that it didn't contain as much sugar because I am a picker I just like to have little bits of things. 
• I really love this belt idea, with an expanding waist line sometimes I want the definition but not the tightness of an elasticated waist - at least with this if I was having a particularly big day I could accommodate it!!
• My  FREE button swap is also doing well which makes me super happy! I still have places though if anyone is thinking about taking part in a swap :)

Baby Shower: Cake plates?

So I have been thinking about the baby shower that I might have dependent on the weather and family etc. I kind of like the idea of all the women in my life getting together and celebrating my first child! At first I struggled with the idea of being the centre of attention because I am not big on fuss. But then I thought its an excuse to get things done in the garden by setting a date, I quite fancy inviting the men along and having them on the xbox or doing the manly thing!

So what a good little idea these things are!! I think when I am next off shopping in the charity shops I will be seeking different sized pretty plates. It would be lovely to give these as a gift because the metal bits are the expensive bit, the plates I can imagine being relatively cheap really. I think it would be a nice momento of the shower? But then people may not be bakers and I think having a few options might be the best idea!

ebay even have a multi buy deal
