I posted this in BHB and NW, but in case anyone doesn't look at those anymore....

Any ideas for cute baskets for a shower? Two women I work with are getting married, and I need gift ideas. I already did the candle basket for another woman in the office this year. I'm thinking of doing a cooking 'basket' for one with a stock pot as the basket, filled with food you can cook in it (soups, pastas, etc) and include a pasta spoon, ladle, etc.

Any other ideas? One's not really taking a honeymoon, and the other hasn't booked it yet, so the honeymoon basket would be a bit of a challenge.

Thanks!

I really like the stockpot idea. Someone asked for this on the BHB board, so I posted it. It's a letter to the bride; you can fill a laundry basket or garbage can with all of these cleaning supplies (the words in parentheses)
