I love making these little bouquets to bring to the hospital for the new parents or new Mom. Its a gift they can actually enjoy.
The first item you will need is some kind of planter, mug or basket.
I found this cute mug at the Thrift store for 59 cents. I would check the Thrift store first because they always seem to have baby planters there.
Then you need a variety of goodies:Candy
Hand sanitizer
Lotion
Chap stick
etc...
What ever you think they would like in the gift.
Then you need a floral foam and some shredded paper.For my mug I had to shave the top of the foam with a knife to fit inside.
Then I took some regular gift tape and taped the edges of the candy down.

that is so sweet of you - do you drop them off or deliver them yourself? that is really such a cute idea! i am presently rallying up my girls to make valentines to deliver to a nursing home - first time trying this with them but hoping they'll get in the spirit once we are there to deliver. love doing good things for other people - such a good feeling, isn't it?
Thanks! I am glad you liked the idea. I love making them.
It is a great feeling making something special for someone. What a wonderful idea to make some for a nursing home! We take the gift to the hospital when we visit.
Good Luck with your gifts. I hope you and your girls enjoy making them.
