creative folks- shower gift help

[my4girls]

I like a theme for presents for my brother and his GFs shower I went with a bedtime theme- got rock and play, swaddles, sound machine, FP seahorse and then a bunch of books ("bedtime stories")

help me package it, wrap it, add some other small (and I do mean small- like $10) something- basically, help me do anything that indicates it's a "bedtime" theme and not just a bunch of random stuff

they are doing the nursery in Dr Suess so I was hoping to maybe find a Dr Suess quote about bedtime and make a small canvas with it but don't see anything

any ideas?

Pajamas, lotion, swaddle blanket

Dr. Seuss has a "Sleep Book". There's nothing on etsy, but maybe you could do a print or quote from there to fit with their theme?

Put the books in a cute basket with a little tag that says "bedtime stories?"

I agree with a sleeper. Maybe add the lavender bedtime lotion

Maybe the lavender bedtime lotion, a CD of lullaby's, one of those sleeping baby door signs...

Could you open the Rock n' Play up and fill it with the other gifts inside? Roll up the swaddles and tie with ribbon, etc - you could wrap the outside with tulle (like you would for a basket gift). 

I like the pp suggestions for a sleeper or something lavender scented. What about a lullaby CD?

You guys are great- thank you! I had no idea there was a suess sleep book. I'm going to do a few of these! I'm sure I have a basket at home I can tag with "bedtime stories" and I'll grab some lavender lotion. Off to look for the dr suess sleep book now. Thank you!!

I saw this done at a shower recently and it was really great! The RnP is the perfect size for "wrapping" gifts and you can stuff tissue paper in the bottom if you have to .  Plus it's really cute!

That's a cute idea!

I agree to package it in the RNP.

You got some cute ideas here are a couple more in case-
A wubanub pacifier, crib sheet or nightlight.

FYI the rock and play was surprisingly hard to put together... I was sweating and all irritated by the time it was done. Your gift sounds fabulous!
