The Benefits of Giving Elephant-Themed Baby Gifts

Make a backdrop for your baby shower by finding a silhouette image of an elephant (it’s okay if it’s not perfect, as long as you like the design) and free-hand trace it on a piece of paper. Then, ask guests to leave a personal piece of advice for the mom-to-be on this backdrop, which she can transcribe after the shower as a follow-up gift!
