Favors for Babies

Making party favors can be fun for most of us.  But we tend to make it for older kids.  Not babies.  Given that I am doing my daughter's 1st birthday and I have a lot of friends who have babies the same age, I wanted them to have a favor they can enjoy NOW.

I went to Target and bought the baby snacks.  Just go down to the food section where the baby stuff is and I grabbed an assortment of cookies.  I got the animal crackers, banana flavored cookies and the vanilla wheat biscuits.

My brother's girlfriend arranged them in the bag.  The design faced the outside and she made sure the other side looked the same with the same cookies.  The bag I got from Michael's and they were the "fishbowl" shape near the baking section were you can find treat bags.

 We also did another bag with the "puffs."
 Then I bought these cute boxes at Michael's as well.  I created a thank you tag and hole punched it.  We tied it to the handle and placed the two bags in the box.

 And there you have party favors for infants and toddlers to enjoy.

Winnie the Pooh Water bottles

I admit, it takes some photoshop skills for this.  But just wanted to share the Winnie the Pooh water bottles I did for my daughter's birthday.  I wanted to do my own dimensions for the water bottle.  I wanted to use the Kirkland water bottles because they were sturdier.  So I took the time to adjust the label and add more to it.

 

 I did some "nutritional facts" but used it to describe my daughter.
I also added the text for her first birthday.  I also used photopaper.  The gloss came out nice and the paper is a lot thicker.  Just a tip, I get my photopaper usually free or close to nothing from Staples.  I usually stock up whenever there is a rebate of some sort or coupon.  Staples is nice to do rebates because they put all the codes on the receipt and you can submit it online.  No need for postage or copies of the receipts.  They send you the coupon to deposit and you get your money back.
