Towel Cakes

After a bit of help/ inspiration please

I'm making a towel cake for my mum & dad for christmas, I've got a dark red towel bale (festive theme ) and was planning on putting a bottle of bubbly in the middle, some festive shower gel & a body puff for my mum. Would you put anything else in? And how would you arrange it? It will be 3 tiers and I have got some nice cream ribbon to go around the tiers but what else could I put on the outside to make it look nice? I had thought artificial holly but cant find any at decent price at the moment and not sure how I'd arrange it... And would you put the puff inside somewhere or use it somehow to decorate? This is my first one so I'm stuck

hi everyone
i need to pick your brains

ive been asked to do a towel cake for a mum to be for hospital
im going to put miniature bottles in so handy for hospital,vaseline and also got a pot of coco butter,we have decided on black towels with pink accessories as the towels will be used in hospital

is there maybe a poem i could put with it,funny or serious,maybe something about the hospital

also can u think of anything else i can put in??

I had our second baby two weeks ago...the card my brother sent me read:
"You have a new baby...
So sweet and tender
Small and new
So full of puke
So full of poo
....Congratulations with all our love"

He was mortified when he met him when we came home and discovered that all he does is eat...poo and sleep...literally;)

Have you thought of a notebook and pen? I'm still keeping notes about when he feeds etc as I get him into routine.

Just been to see a local shop and they have agreed to stock my items and take orders for me and also sell me items i need to make nappy/towel cakes at a reduced rate

Im so so so so excited

She also said she thinks they are fantastic and that managing director will think so too and that they have 4 other shops which could all stock them:)

I wonder if any of you can help me I have been asked by a couple of people today if I can make them a pamper towel cake but I thought I read somewhere that you had to have insurance can anybody tell me if thats right or what you have to do if you want to sell them.

Thanks

i have insurance that covers my crafts i told them what i made and they just told me to put it down as card making as there wasn't a specific criteria for nappy/towel cakes
