Choosing Baby Gift Baskets
There are lots of occasions to give gift baskets, but nothing is more enjoyable than sharing in the excitement and joy of welcoming a new baby into the world. A unique baby gift basket can be a very special personal way to show new parents how much you care. Baby gift baskets can be given for several occasions, including baby shower gifts, as congratulation gifts for new parents, baptism gifts, christening gifts, baby naming ceremony gifts and also for baby's first birthday. Whether it's a baby girl or baby boy, a gift basket for a new baby is always appreciated.
When choosing a baby gift basket you need to consider whether the baby is boy or girl, whether the baby has already been born, what kinds of things the baby needs and also if you'd like to center it around a theme. If the basket is for a first child, then there are many things the baby will need and you can go with just about any theme, but if it's for a second or third child, the mom will most likely have the basics covered.
If you are looking for an original baby gift basket, you will be surprised with the many selections available. There are numerous themes and styles, from the most practical to the more whimsical. Many vendors also offer preemie gift baskets as well as twins and triplets gift gaskets.
One of the really fun things to do with a new baby gift basket is, instead of purchasing an actual basket, consider a diaper bag, a small laundry basket that can sit on a dresser, a baby bath tub, a trunk, a pretty box or even a small storage tub. Your only limit is your own imagination!
You can give a practical baby gift basket, providing the new parents with all sorts of necessities for their baby. Baby toys, rattles, shampoo, lotion, powder, wash cloths, wipes, diapers, hooded towels, burp cloths, bibs, socks, diaper rash ointment, receiving blankets and baby clothes are all useful things to include - the range of ideas are limitless.
You can give a themed gift basket using only baby clothing items, if you'd like. A small bassinet basket would be a unique container. Items to include: sleepers, undershirts, bibs, booties, socks, mittens, sweaters, hats/caps, baby hangers, shoes, onesies as well as other outfits.
How about giving a basket a more whimsical theme, containing small items that are just fun and add to the joy of having a baby? You can include baby hand/foot print kits, monogrammed items, and other heirloom items in your basket, which will be treasured for generations.
More whimsical baskets to consider: baby time capsule baskets, rocking horse baskets, wagon baskets, carriage baskets, embroidered and engraved keepsakes baskets - the range of ideas are limitless.
A great idea for the second or third time mom - is to present a smaller basket or siblings gift for her other children. That way, they won't feel left out and they will be kept occupied. You can look for gift baskets containing coloring items, puzzles, toys, snacks, etc.
A really unique and creative idea for expectant moms is a ‘labor basket', or a ‘pamper the mom-to-be basket', full of items that will be needed at the hospital. Items you might include: a relaxation tape or CD, slippers, book/magazines, candy bars, perfume, lotion, robe, hair clips, candles, bubble bath, champagne/sparkling cider, disposable camera, a calling card and gift certificates.
No matter how big or how small, baby gift baskets make extra-special baby gifts that new or expectant parents will never forget and they will surely appreciate your thoughtfulness!
