July 9, 2006 08:59 - 7 Great Gifts To Bring To A Baby Shower
Gia Russo, a former editor of Martha Stewart Living and Weddings in New York, opened up her own design and lifestyle consulting company, with her friend Michele Adams, to help women much like themselves - busy mothers who love entertain.After their editorial stints in New York, the duo moved to LA to start their new business catering to clients such as Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn and Target. The two have also penned popular how-to entertaining books such as "Baby Showers," "Wedding Showers" and "At Home With Friends" and regularly contribute design stories to O, Lucky and InStyle.

July 22, 2006 14:48 - How To Fun with Baby Shower Gift Baskets?
One of the very special ideas that I've tried is: Buy a bunch of small items, such as pretty soaps, candles, etc. Wrap each gift in colored tissue paper and place in a basket. When the expectant mother is ready to open her gifts, announce to your guests that a timer will go off every 7 minutes. When the timer goes off, whoever's gift is being opened at that time will be given a small gift from the baby shower gift basket.Another ideas before you serve baby shower foods. Spice your Shower setting up and add a few baskets to your buffet tableĦfill them with napkins, utensils, or line them with a napkin to hold bread or buns. You can even fill a basket with cookies or candy or use them to display small gifts for Mom and Baby. (Read More...)
