As a gift, I created this breakfast-in-bed basket. I found a cute breakfast tray and gathered some delightful morning delicacies--pecan cinnamon roll pancake mix, salted caramel hot cocoa, and English breakfast tea.
Add a couple of classic white coffee cups and saucers nestled in a plush velvet blanket...
and a few finishing touches...
and we're ready to go!
I'm always on the look out for cute and creative gift ideas for the special women in our lives...are there any you would like to share?

Love your thoughtfulness and your creative gift, Nel! Thanks for sharing this idea...who wouldn't like to receive this?!
What an honor for you to be asked to be her bridesmaid:) and what a beautifully creative gift!! Have a great Monday Sheri :-)
And before you know it, both of you will be grandmothers! Enjoy your time with your friend, Nel! Anita
That is such a thoughtful gift idea Nel - I bet she was delighted. I love to find cute crafts and have started a little Pinterest board to document the ones I would like to try http://www.pinterest.com/dolliedaydream/cute-crafts/. I've recently made some cookie mix jars but that's about as far as my talents stretch these days x
Such a nice gift basket - I love the velvet throw blanket- a beautiful way to wrap your friend in love. xo Karen

What a lovely gift basket you created! It is such an honor to be a bridesmaid, have fun!
What a great gift and so useful. Thanks for sharing. Wishing them the best. Hugs, xo
PERFECT!
You couldn't have chosen more perfect items or better idea... beats a Trip around the World every time :).
25 years ago I married. Yep, too soon to know better ahahahah. I had a wonderful wedding. A wonderful ceremony. Thousands of gifts. But if you ask me "what wedding gifts did you have?" the first that comes to my mind - and let me tell you that the Aunt who gave it to me wasn't even on my Auntie Top 10 ;) so I'm not biased - is a basket very much in line of your idea.
Of course not being my favorite Aunt - I'd hop her if she had chosen ME items like you did ;) ahahah - she chose pratical and nosense items: oli, beans, rice, tablecloths, wood spoons, couple of pans, tuna cans... (you get the sense; being a no nonsense Aunt I though her idea was great and so welcome when we arrived home and raided the basket so we could cook a midnight snack)
I hope in Heaven she's indulging in her nonsense area and having a blast doing baskets like your to very fortunate and happy friends who are marrying in their 180 years ahahahah
Well Done, Fairy Nel!
Nice products!!

I love the idea of a basket. One that is created for a specific person with their special tastes in mind. I recently sent a fiend an item she had been looking for and packed the box with tea napkins and lovely embroidered tea cloths. I also included a sweet blue checked summer tablecloth. It felt so good to give something that was appreciated. Thank you for stopping by my blog, I really appreciate your comments. I am your newest follower.... Candy
Wow this is so exciting. I have always wanted to be a bridesmaid and I truly hope it can happen one day. Congratulations on being given such an honour. Stunning pictures and I wish you and the bride the best in this wonderful experience.
