Creative food for baby shower prizes?

need to kn

Okay,so I was thinking of making a cake,and cutting it into squares with frosting and decorating it into blocks,or cupcakes with puffy blue frosting,lined with white frosting for clouds,and maybe making some into rattles and such.I was also thinking about making pretzels and peanut butter-to make a crib,then adding a few pigs in the blanket(to make it like a baby in the crib-any ideas on how to keep it mess-free is helpful.)I want to do fruit as well,but not sure what I can make with it.Any other ideas on how to make food into baby shapes for prizes?Simple is best.
**Additional details the shower is at my parent's house,will be in the middle of September,and I'm having a boy,and the theme is Thank Heaven for Little Boys.
***Do not respond if you are going to be rude.I'm tired of people saying that I shouldn't be 'throwing my own baby shower.' I'm not,I'm just looking for ideas and helping out.

Thank you. =)

*Yes,I also posted this in the pregnancy section,just thought this section would be helpful as well.
I think to make the 'crib'work better I'll use cheese cubes to hold the pretzels,then peanuts as the baby.I might just make a big one for serving rather than in the prize baskets,not sure yet.We're having other prizes too so small portions are welcome.Medium-large ones are welcome too,and the extra can be set out with what we're serving-not sure what that is yet.My mom said some kind of pasta,cake,and idk what she has planned.
Fruit,I'm thinking maybe just using cookie cutters.Still looking online for other ideas,but not getting far.
Serving food ideas are welcome,since I know there are some really good ideas out there that wouldn't last long enough to stay in a gift basket.I would just like baby shape,or Heaven themed ideas.Thanks.

Answer
Since you are including them as part of a prize basket, I think cake would be too messy b/c it might end up getting jostled around and the winners may not want to eat the food right away. My suggestion is to make cut out cookies. You could either cut them out in different shapes and frost/decorate (make sure the frosting has good time to dry lol) or you could do all one shape and frost blue and pipe an outline of different baby theme things on them with white tube icing. Another idea would be to make angel cutout cookies and write on them with the tube icing: Thank Heaven for Little Boys or just Heaven Sent or Baby Boy.

Suggestions for gift basket for pregnant mom on reduced activity?

CarbonDate

One of my quilting buddies went to the doctor last week because she'd been dragging for awhile and found out that she was 6 months pregnant. She had not had a period in 3 years, so this was quite a shock to her. She is 54 years old. I'm extremely happy for her and her hubby and would like to make up a gift basket for her that does not include food items. Other than hobby stuff or soaps and creams, what things would you include? She is not on bedrest at this time, but will be curtailing most activities after next week.

Yes, she has 2 children already, but they are adults.

Answer
get her a pregnancy book and maybe a magazine
sudoku puzzles and crosswords
does she have a favorite author or a favorite magazine?
a book of baby names
some smelly stuff for her to pamper herself with
a pattern for an item of clothing she could make for baby
pen and paper
a baby blanket
knitting needles and wool
magazines from baby shops to save her having to go and get them eg babys r us magazine and mothercare magazine
