Make her a feminine basket that includes her favorite products or lets her try some new ones. It's a fun way to welcome her to a new stage of her life and start a conversation if you need to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Steps"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h2&gt;  Steps &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Find a decorative basket to place the items in, with such designs as plaid, hearts, stars or dress up a plain basket with a some fancy cloth or wrapping paper inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ask discreetly about her favorite brand of pads, pantyliners and tampons, or include a selection so she can try different kinds and find her preference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Put at least five of each feminine product in the basket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tuck in some fun bath products if you'd like to add some color.  A fresh bar of soap or a bottle of a favorite shampoo would make a nice addition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  If this is the right time for her to start using deodorant, add that, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Place the items in the basket and seal the opening of the basket with tinfoil or more cloth so she can't see what's inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write her name in glitter on the tinfoil or cloth you placed on the opening of the basket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Give it to her with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Tips"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h2&gt;  Tips &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use pretty cloth to place at the bottom of the basket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Add a puberty booklet or an information booklet about her period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Put a couple flowers in the basket to make it look cute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If she doesn't use tampons you could still put them in just in case she decides to try them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It would be a great idea to put feminine cleansing cloths in too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try to let her know that you're helping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Always is a good brand for young girls but go by her personal opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You could give it to her face-to-face or put it by her bed while she's asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Add a letter telling her why you gave it to her.  Now would be a great time to offer to answer any questions she has about her period or taking care of herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you haven't yet, it's also a good time to offer to take her shopping for her first &lt;a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Ask-Your-Mom-for-a-Bra" title="Ask Your Mom for a Bra"&gt;bra&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can also add in some other helpful things too, like a gentle acne wash or facial scrub, some perfume or body spray, or some scented lotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Warnings"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h2&gt;  Warnings &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't get in her face about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't give it to her when her friends, or family are around. It could embarrass her a lot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;She may throw a small fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Things_You.27ll_Need"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h2&gt;  Things You'll Need &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A basket&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A piece of fancy or colorful cloth or wrapping paper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flowers(such as lilies, roses, daisies or poppies)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Her favorite brands of pads, pantyliners, tampons and feminine cleansing cloths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Other bath goodies (optional).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Foil (optional)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Related_wikiHows"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/123530535441302045-6980224568922318431?l=femininebasketforyourdaughter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://femininebasketforyourdaughter.blogspot.com/feeds/6980224568922318431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://femininebasketforyourdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-feminine-basket-for-your.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/123530535441302045/posts/default/6980224568922318431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/123530535441302045/posts/default/6980224568922318431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://femininebasketforyourdaughter.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-feminine-basket-for-your.html' title=''/><author><name>Mike Jones</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
