Faux food gifts are a fun idea that’s been floating around out there for a while. You’ve probably seen diaper cakes or sock cupcakes, but here’s a new twist! Jolene from Creative Dollar used an assortment of baby essentials to create “sushi”, which she presented all wrapped up on a plate. Hers was a baby girl gift and included hair bows; for boys, you could use more socks or other small soft goods instead. Sushi-loving moms-to-be will love this creative presentation!

OMG! This would have been a wonderful gift to a friend of mine who had her baby a few months ago. Her husband has a sushi business here in town.
Too fun!

Deliciously cute! Great idea, and a savvy alternative to sock-flowers!

Thank you SO much for this idea! Just recreated it for a friend’s shower. Target still carries the same little bath fish along with wash cloths. I decided to add a gift certificate to a local sushi restaurant for the soon-to-be parents to have a night out after the baby arrives! It was definitely a hit :)

I just made mine for $12, it included 3 onsies, two long sleeve T’s, one long sleeve fleece top, one fleece skirt, plush fishie, two wash cloths, two bibs, and an awesome ducky box to put it all in!
