Other handmade crafts may add personal touch to your basket. They could be in the form of papier mache', origami, sculpture, small painting, woven or knitted items, etc.

If the one giving the baby gift basket intends to give it during a christening celebration or baptism, a small bible, silver cups and any symbolic item that adheres to the theme of the celebration and that the recipient's religion appreciates may also be placed in the basket.

A small gesture like giving out a well-thought of baby basket can surely go a long way. The recipient's smile is enough to mean a sincere "thank you".

Follow up thread, is it time to touch mi gf?
By: omgitistotallymatt | 18-11-2007
Orion, this is the same thread i started earleier, i just want to covey that i believe it is the parents causing this to make her feel "dirty", and how she thinks tht if other people know she will be dirtty.  how can i subtly tell her this is not so, and (i will be seeing her soon with mostly alone time) how can I do these things to her so she will become comfertable (the whole touching thing).  I feel that she believes that we dont need to do this.  We dont, but i feel it would add a whole new level to our relationship. Also, she says she is very mature, and i kno she is, but the thing is, i dont want to hurt her doing this.  is there a way to get the point across to her that doing this is perfectly natural, and at the same time getting her to believe me, and me doing it to her to show her that it can be enjoyable.,  do you catch my drit.  I dont want sex, b/c marriage is the only time id do tht. I kno we dont have to do this, but is there a way to get her to believe me.  the first time i did it, i kno she enjoyed it, is there a way i kan show her that is ok, so i kan do it again (mayb making her feel aroused in a sense, and if so, how do i go abt doing tht). Just any ideas so i can continue this practice, i feel that we are far enough into our relationship that we should be doing this.  Also, we talked about the first insident after it happened, and she was telling me abt how she felt "dirty" and tht it just wasnt right.  Hope this helps.Plus, i dont know if this would help, but the first day i tried this, i noticed that wht she was wearing was not the norm, like she wore it to make me feel...well you know.  I noticed the stuff she was wearing underneath her pants wasnt boxers, but underware, b/c her pants were basically clear (long story on hwo i kno that, but i sware it is NOT cuz i am a perv) .  it is lik she is sending me a mixed message, that she wants me stimulated, but she doesnt wanna be Thank you for yorur help so far. :)

Addition to previous question on how 2 get hindu girl for marriage to me
By: murshid | 18-11-2007
Yes, today I approached that girl to marry me. As you may remember, I am 48 y/o well settled man in life, devout Muslim and have decided to marry one young (23 y/o) hindu girl.    In fact I called her parent house, where she resides but she -REFUSED- to talk to me! Now I know this must be foolishness of youth but I don't mind, maybe she is shy. Any gal would like to marry with well cultured and moral guy like me. Even asking conversion is not so much big deal as Islam is Truth itself.    Tell me plz shall I directly approach her parents. And how can I force her to come to some marriagable understanding to be my beautiful young wife? I need her to marry me by 2 months time as I have business trip coming up and would like to make it convenient honeymoon. AS yet she won't even look on my eye, maybe she is going to feel my love if she does so!    I own the parcel of land wherein her parents reside. Shall I use this to drive home my point of marriage? Although I don't like to make use of land but this marriage is too important to let pass by at this time and my feelings for her are too much strong.    Thank you and may I get married soon Inshallah!

How can i make her marry me
By: murshid | 17-11-2007
Asalaam all Respected Advisors! I have been working in one company for past 17 years. Lately there has been one young co-worker who has caught my attentions. Every day she is walking past my desk, and I think she is very beautiful girl. We've not held any conversation yet and she's not even looked on my eye or said hello (I think she is shy in her youth) but she does walk past my desk on her way to her office which is next door to mine so I think she must be interested at least somewhat. She is aged 23 while I am aged 48. But for me it's no problem. I haven't approached her yet with marriage proposals as I have not even spoken hi. But if I marry her then I by all means want an Islamic-minded wife. In fact I am very choosy guy. All these years my parents tried this and that to arrange marriage but no girl fits my taste and also I don't fit theirs. I am very good looking guy, little bit balding, slighly paunchy but well fit for my age. I feel I would be great match for any lucky lady! In all this, she appears perfect except for the fact that she is a hindu lady. How can I make her convert and obey the Islam? Also, how can I convince her to marry me in very short time? I would like to wed before two months time. Please say me some great words to use with her. I won't mind her to wear some hijab until she converts but conversion is a MUST. Her youth doesn't bother me in the least. I am very well satisfied and have decided definately to marry her inshallah. Thank you.

Raw Food: Raw Food, Less Water
By: Nicholas Tan | 14/08/2008 | Nutrition
When you start eating more raw foods, you may find you’re not as thirsty or don’t need as much water or other beverages as you normally do. There are several reasons for this. First of all, raw foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables have a higher volume of water in them, so your body is getting the hydration it needs from foods.

Raw Food: Why not Processed Foods?
By: Nicholas Tan | 14/08/2008 | Nutrition
Have you ever seen a picture of your blood plasma after you’ve eaten a meal from McDonald’s or Burger King? It’s not a pretty picture. It looks thick and cloudy. Fast foods are loaded with fat and sodium. They use white bread and rolls, which means they’ve used white processed flour, with very few nutrients in them.

Raw Food: Organic Products and Raw Food Diet
By: Nicholas Tan | 14/08/2008 | Nutrition
Fortunately for those of us newly interested in eating organic and raw foods, there are lots of products out there. Natural and organic foods used to be found only in natural food stores, and those could be few and far between.

Raw Food: Great Foods That Pass Through Body Quickly and Easily
By: Nicholas Tan | 12/08/2008 | Cooking Tips
There are certain types of foods that are eliminated by the body quicker than others.

Raw Food: Food Dehydrators
By: Nicholas Tan | 12/08/2008 | Nutrition
Making dried fruit and fruit leathers isn’t hard and it doesn’t have to be expensive either. While some food processors and juicers can get really pricey, a dehydrator isn’t going to cost that much and it’s a lifesaver to have fruit leathers, dried fruit or fruit jerky on hand when you can’t get out to the store for fresh food.
