I found this idea from a baby gift website and thought I could probably achieve basically the same effect myself. What you do is find any container (a basket, nice bag or box), line it with colorful tissue paper, and fill it with rolled-up baby clothes and fake leaves or flowers. I used a metal bucket for my container and crocheted a blanket for the lining (instead of using paper). Then my friend and I bought items of clothing (if you can't tell by the color scheme, this bouquet was for a boy) and a pack of infant wash clothes. We rolled each item up individually and secured them with rubber bands. Then I arranged them in the bucket and added some leaves cut off from a long stem of fake leaves I got from a craft store. We added a card and the gift was ready.
