On our trip to see our family in Abingdon a little while ago my cousin came up with these great little fruit shots. My son, who has never eaten kiwi because he says he doesn't like it "it's yucky" munched away at the fruity delight all because of it's presentation! Clever couz!

Just use a shot glass within a larger glass and place the layers of kiwi fruit between. Then pile the rest in the shot glass. Umbrella an optional extra if you are feeling in the holiday spirit! Big boy decided the grapes needed to climb up the ladder and made a kebab with the umbrella before eating them!

I was very jealous of my cousin's baby shower bangle and wish I had known about this when it was mine! (our second's are 3 months apart and our first's 6 months) It is so simple but so effective!

Just use string, a few pretty beads and plain luggage tags for your individual messages.

You could use all pink or blue tags if you knew what you had on the way!

My cousin proudly displays hers, with all the heartfelt messages of baby love, on a glass carafe on the sideboard. You have to walk past it to get to the lounge so it is seen and admired all the time.

Why not make one for your next friend who is having baby or do you have any good ideas for baby showers you have seen?

We are having our egg hunt tomorrow with big boy’s best little girlfriend so in preparation for all the goodies (rain permitting) they are going to find in the garden we made these little felt bags! So easy to do and for little ones to join in!
