Baby Shower Gift Baskets
Baby Shower gift baskets are the perfect present for those expecting
. It can display the thoughtfulness of the person giving the basket, and can be extremely helpful to the new parents receiving it. It is important that you fill the basket with useful items that the baby will be able to use when he/she gets here. It may want to fill it full of cutesy things that are not practical for everyday use, but this will make your gift a lot less effective for the new mommy and baby.
The first thing you need to do when creating a basket for baby gifts is to chose a container that will hold everything you plan to give. If you are on a strict budget and can only afford two to three items, avoid purchasing a large basket. This will make your gift look empty and cheap. A small basket will be much better if you are only buying a body wash or lotion. On the other hand, you want to be sure that you choose a basket that will not be too small for all of your items.
If several people will be putting together a gift for an expectant mother, baby shower gift baskets are a great option. When you think of such a present, you may think of a wooden or straw basket that holds all of the gift items. However, some people use laundry baskets to store all of the items in. This is effective because the laundry basket can get used as much as the items inside.
When you purchase baby gifts to include in the basket, you should start by thinking practical. There are several necessities that new parents will need for their baby. These include diapers, wipes, bibs, burp clothes, and onesies. Make sure to include at least a one pack of each of these products.
Other less common baby gifts can be chosen that will still be helpful for a new baby. A CD of lullabies, for example, can help soothe a crying baby, so it makes for a good addition to a baby gift basket. Changing pads, pacifiers, teething rings, tub toys, and bath towels are also good items to include in a basket.
It would also be a good idea to include one or two things for the new mother in the gift basket. Being a new parent can be very overwhelming at first, and it's nice for the woman to get a little something for herself. Calming teas, a comfortable robe or pair of slippers, or a gift certificate for a manicure or pedicure are all ways that a mommy can treat herself to at least a few moments of relaxation while caring for her new baby.
As you can see, baby shower gift baskets offer an easy and unique way to create a nice baby gift for new parents. The only trouble you may have is trying to decide what all to include in the basket!
