Inexpensive and Easy Baby Shower Gift Basket
A visit to your local dollar store will turn up a number of baby items (example: shampoo, oil, powder, lotion, socks, wipes, washcloths, bibs, bottles and hair bows). Place 5 or 6 dollar items in a basket that you picked up at the thrift store and spray painted a clean bright white.
