on 10/4/2008 I do this all the time for my little girl's friend's parties. Cute little games, purses, cosmetics, hair accessories, notebooks, etc, placed in a cute gift bag or basket ...it's always a hit. Never thought of a garden one, but it's definately a new weapon in my gift giving arsenal...thanks!
