new mom (+ dad) hospital gifts

i don't know about you, but around these parts there are new babies everywhere!

let's face it, as soon as baby is born all of the attention goes from your cute little pregnant self to your new bundle of joy. that's why i wanted to create a mom-specific gift, to remind her that she is still a big deal.

with the influx of newborns & new mamas, i wanted to come up with a gift idea that was personalized and crafty...hence, the "prescription" wine. (i should note that this is 100% novelty & in no way represents a real prescription. also, i am no doctor, so the only info i have about alcohol while breastfeeding is from scholarly articles and research.)

maybe it's my 34 weeks of pregnancy-induced sobriety that inspired this, or the countless stories i've heard from my own mom about her first glass of vino after giving birth to me.

either way, this is how it turned out:


supplies:
4-pack of mini wine bottles 
set of personalized label stickers (designed by moi)
upspring baby milkscreen breastmilk alcohol test strips (these are so great! & you can find them at target.)
gift bag



i didn't want to leave out poor dad, either. after all of the hand squeezes and 'you did this to me's, he deserves a little somethin' somethin', too, right?

new dad + cigars go hand-in-hand. so, with the hub's help buying a cigar, i whipped together this little gem. a cigar & a cigar cutter, tied together with a curly bow & personalized with a boy-inspired mustache label.


needless to say, mom & dad loved the gifts. hope you can shower your new parent friends with gifts!
