For girls, purchase a few products or a basket already made from CVS, Eckerd, Walgreen's. Not only are they cheap, but also very useful. They will appreciate the sweet gesture and their new, good-smelling gift! -

For my daughter's 10 year birthday party, I made a dirt cake with red roses to symbolize her ruby birthstone. The cake is made with Oreo cookies, chocolate pudding, and cool whip. I used a plastic flower pot for its container. I then placed artificial flowers in the middle of the container, and served it with a hand shovel.
