Well I belong to a Moms group and we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and pregnancies and new mommies. usually with a little candy ro something! i was hoping to make it a bit more personal this year with something made but am out of ideas. It needs to be fairly cheap and moderatly easy! I am looking more for the ideas of pregnancies and new babies. anyway, anyone got any ideas??? I am incharge of hospitality so this is my department!!! Thanks!

I'm not sure what your buget is, but what about diaper cakes?? You can get diapers on sale and use stuff to incert from the dollar store??

What kind of crafts can you do? Can you crochet or knit. You could make a little baby washcloth and then include a small bottle (even trial size) of baby wash.

I got some crocheted was cloths at my shower and I love them. They are soft and pretty and a little larger than the traditional baby washcloth.

I am guessing you are on a small budget so here are some suggestions.

How about a Baby Bottle filled with candy or inexpensive baby items (wash cloth, soap, sponge).

For pregnancies - how about a humerous pregnancy emergency kit made with little items from the dollar store.

If you or anyone does cards, you could make some card sets to give out.

I will keep thinking and post if I come up with any more.

Oooh the pregnancy survival kit sounds like a great idea. Include things like Tums, eye mask, a journal to vent frustrations and describe things they are feeling, small toy to occupy time like a stress ball or something. The dollar store would be great for these things.

If any of your members sew, how about making a caddy/bag to hang on the crib or changing table to keep supplies, like powder, lotion, wipes, etc close at hand.

for our group, we do a "wipes shower" ........... each member of the group brings a package of wipes, so the new mom/baby need not but wipes for quite awhile after the "shower"

I was going to suggest a diaper cake too. If you do a search, you'll find some directions I posted a few months back on diaper cakes.
