New "Pop" Gift Basket

I feel so blessed to have Bryce by my side every day. He is not perfect, but he is my perfect match. He has been amazing throughout my entire pregnancy, and I knew I wanted to get a little something for him for when baby came to express my gratitude.  

Being a new mom is not the only thing that is completely draining and exhausting. Being a new dad (especially if you are a good one) is equally difficult in its own right. I wanted this gift basket to be fun and get used, but most importantly I wanted to show him how much I appreciate his commitment to our little family. He may not have carried the baby, but he did put up with me the whole time I was…no easy feat I can assure you.

I decided to go with the “pop” theme because I had never seen it done before, and coincidentally Bryce loves a lot of things that have “pop” in them! Here is a list of what’s in my gift basket, since you can’t see it all in the main picture:

-Otter Pops (I put these at the bottom of my basket, they made a great base and made the basket look huge!) 

-Corn Pops

-Pop Tarts

-Popcorn

-Lemon poppyseed muffin mix

-Assorted soda pop (I used the bottled old fashioned kind because I wanted the basket to be fun and special for him, but it definitely would be cheaper to use canned or liters of pop. 

-Popped mini rice cakes 

-Blow Pops

-Tootsie Pops

-Pop Rocks

-Push Pop

-Baby Bottle Pop

-Ring Pop

For the basket I just pulled out the biggest Easter basket we had, but if you don’t have one on hand you can usually find great baskets at thrift stores for around $1! Then I layered my goods in the basket, trying to display as many different items as I could. Next just print the label I used or make your own and wahlah! 

The whole basket only cost me about $25 to put together. I also like how I was able to do a pretty good mix of sweet and salty, so it wasn’t just a whole bunch of the same thing. Show your man some love, growing a family is hard work for everyone!
