This is a Baby basket I have done for my step Daughter, her baby is due in 2 weeks, I hope she likes it.

Unwrapped


Wrapped


There are several things inside the basket too which you cant see, I have really enjoyed shopping for this and putting it all together, I have another one exactly the same to finish wrapping for my dd who is due in 7 weeks, it's all sooo exciting.

I don't think my cello is up to the standard I have seen on here but I did my best there was so much of it! I just did it all up once and didn't mess with it.

This is one of the best baskets I've seen on here! It looks fantastic!! yopu must be well chuffed.

I guess she's having a boy?

Thank You all so much for the lovely comments, It's only the second basket I have done so I was a bit worried about it, but you have all made me feel much better you are all so kind.


DrFluffy Thank you, Yes she is having a boy! so is my dd so it's another blue one exactly the same.

These all look fantastic and I've been inspired. I just have one question.

How do you wrap them and where do you get the plastic to do it?

Thanks,
