This gift box comes in an exciting, springy color that positively screams “Happy First Date!” and is a great gift that your date can sinfully enjoy. With 24 assorted pieces in every box, there's a fair chance that at least a dozen of the chocs will be his or her favorite types. And then, hopefully, you’ll be granted a second date... If so, perhaps you two can indulge in another box of these scrumptious chocolates together. Youre The Best Candle Price: $45 Buy at: www.redenvelope.com Why: This beautiful jasmine-scented candle literally states “You’re The Best,” which will make your date feel extra special from the very start. It is accompanied by a short story that will add to the sentimental aspect of the gift, and it has a cool re-usable leather box to ensure it's a keepsake gift. Now all you need to do is make sure you keep his or her special feelings burning like the candle's flame, and then a second date will be guaranteed. Italian Lavender-Scented Stones Price: $18 Buy at: www.redenvelope.com Why: These pretty-smelling stones are is a gift that lasts forever and ever, unlike a clichéd bouquet of flowers. The jar also comes in handy for millions of fun household uses, such as scenting the laundry room, linen closet, and more. 25 pumice stones are carefully scented promoting relaxation of the mind... Groovy, man! Day Spa Basket Price: $42 Buy at: www.redenvelope.com Why: This gift says “take time out for yourself, you deserve it.” A neatly woven basket, jam-packed with Tipton Charles spa treats, it's the perfect “take a break” gift. Eucalyptus bath salts, basil nectarine body lotion, black mud facial soap, rejuvenating spring water and sweet candies make up the ultimate relaxation basket. While your date unwinds with this in-house spa treatment, without doubt, he or she will be thinking of you... Truth Vase from Maya Buy at: www.Hallmark.com Why: This vase is all about honesty, promoted by the simple and poetic message printed on the exterior. Watch out though, because truth will be expected by your date, so don't play any games after buying this gift. But, of course, a loyal person has nothing to worry about... You will seem like an open-hearted person when delivering this thoughtful gift. Your Favorite Indie Movie Price: $12-30 Buy at: www.iFilm.com Why: Hopefully you and your date will share similar movie preferences (tip - don't buy them a kung-fu movie, or the latest slasher pic, if you have any doubt whether they like that kind of thing!). Naturally, when you give your date a DVD or video, it's most likely that you'll get invited back to watch the movie with him or her. So, then you two can cuddle up, while watching a romantic movie, or laugh hysterically at a comedy. Either way, you are enjoying each other's company. Share Your Favorite Book Price: Varies Buy at: Borders, Barnes and Noble Why: Your taste in books can help your date get to know the 'real' you, because there’s nothing like a good book. One can tell a lot from the type of book a person likes, and perhaps if you both have a similar taste in page-turners, then you will move on to the next chapter in your blossoming romance. Hersheys Bear Price: $32.99 Buy at: www.giftsense.com Why: This is a “to-die-for” teddy bear, with a squeezable plush body. Man or woman, you’ll definitely go all soft and gooey for this adorable, huggable, stuffed bear. His fluffy hands hold an enlarged stuffed Hershey’s Kiss and a 7” solid chocolate kiss accompanies the 13” tall teddy as well. This gift is sweet all the way around, and certainly will bring a big smile to your date’s face. You Brighten My Day Cookies Price: $39.99 Buy at: www.giftsense.com Why: This mouth-watering gift comes with six enormous assorted flavored cookies. And you can even add your own personalized message... The sun décor says “you brighten my day” which is a cute way to let your date know how you feel. Moreover, after devouring the fresh baked cookies, courtesy of the Blooming Cookies kitchens, the ceramic vase can be used in the household or office as a flower pot... Nice. 24kt gold Dipped Rose Price: $59 Buy at: www.romanceher.com Why:If you can't say it with flowers, say it with a solid Gold flower! This gift will totally express your creative romantic side too. It is absolutely keepsake material and will look nice in any room in your date’s house. Platinum and silver vases are available as well on this website. Now, you can be like TV's The Bachelor or Bachelorette and give a rose to your date - a rose they can actually keep forever!

FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Fun and easy shower gifts to make! Baby showers are probably my favorite event to attend. They are usually full of love and joy and you get to look at lots of cute baby clothes. I also love to give baby shower gifts. I think it's a lot of fun to put together something special for every new little one.
Sometimes I go and pick out things from a gift registry that I think the mother will enjoy or something that has made my days as a mother easier or more interesting. Though my favorite thing to do is to make something for the new baby. Here are a couple of ideas for quick and easy gifts for mom and baby, regardless of the sex of the baby or the theme of the shower!
Gift Basket
I usually choose a large, hollow item to fill with little things. A diaper pail or an infant bath tub are inexpensive and work very nicely. If you're looking for something smaller, try a bathroom bucket/caddy. It's also great for carrying the baby's small bath items around.
You can stick with the bath theme and fill it with bath items. Here are some examples:
Soap
Lotion
Towels
Rubber Duck (with or without thermometer)
Wash cloths
Brush and Comb
Some people prefer the health and safety approach for this gift. Some ideas for that category include:
Thermometer
First Aid Kit
Electrical Plug Covers
Finger Nail Clippers
Emergency Aid Cards
Child Proofing Book
Door Locks
Diaper Cream
Infant Fever Reducer
I also have days where eceltic is my style. Here are some other gift items that go well in these types of gifts:
Diapers
Rattles
Onsies
Toys
Baby Books
Nursing Pads
Bottles
Bibs
You really don't have to spend very much on these gifts, most are a dollar or two each. You can also find some nice, but inexpensive baby toys at dollar stores everywhere, including bibs!
If you don't have a large hollow tub or bucket you can also do a fancy party bag. Some people choose to individually wrap each gift, while attractive it can take a long time. I always put tissue on the top and let mom sort through as quickly as she likes.
Diaper Cake
This item is for those who are a bit more talented, though with practice it shouldn't be too difficult! The results are a delighful looking "cake" made of diapers and toys.
Items you will need:
Diapers (large pack of disposables or 12 cloth)
Cardboard (Some choose to use a bottle of infant laundry soap.)
Small gifts (rattles, toys, teethers, brush, etc.)
Clear Tape or Rubber Bands
Ribbons
Cake "Topper" (Usually a small stuffed animal, can be left off.)
Directions: Use the cardboard or laundry soap as a base, wrap diapers around it to form a bottom cake "layer."
You can secure the diapers with tape or rubber bands. Start a second "layer" making it smaller than the first. You can do as many layers as you would like, I've only done two, but I have seen three done.
When you're done with that you can take your smaller items and tie them up with ribbon and tuck them into the layers of the diaper folds, making them appear as if they are a part of the cake. If you'd like secure a small stuffed animal on top of the cake as a topper.
This makes a great gift as well as a center piece for a shower. It was a lot of fun to do, but it took two people to make it look right.
