The Reason To Choose A Baby Basket As A Gift
Baby gift baskets usually contain baby clothes
, baby bottles, diapers, pacifiers, toys, custom blankets and other baby essentials to care infants.
Baby gift baskets can be made at home. First, find a container that will hold all your items and any filler you wish to use. Aside from a wicker basket some good container choices would be a small laundry basket, baby bath tub, toy box, wagon or bucket. All of these not only make great containers but double as an extra gift. Plus they will help your gift stand out from the crowd. Once you have a container fill it up with your gifts. Include items such as cloths, personalized blankets, bottles, toys, rattles, diapers, baby wipes and so on.
After attending dozens of baby showers, you begin to see a pattern that new mothers seem to receive not even half of what was put on their baby registry. The best way to give mothers what they really need is to put a little creativity and create a gift basket of baby registry items.
First, you need to figure out how you are putting together a basket. You can pick up a wicker basket to stuff or a more creative approach is to get a storage bin with wheels in either pink or blue. This is great because it doubles as a toy chest and is a toy of itself because kids love to push it around on its wheels.
What to include in gift baskets is really dependent on the necessities of the mother. It's best to stick with a theme. For example, a bath theme can contain anywhere from hooded towels and washcloths to baby wash, shampoo, and lotion. This is a great gift for those on a budget because buying smaller individual items, such as q-tips and cotton balls, fill up a basket cheaply and are necessities for the expectant mother. If you want to throw in a bigger ticket item, such as a hooded towel, you can stuff the towel full of goodies.
There are gift baskets for those who insist on giving adorable outfits, and are a fun gift basket to create. Use soft plush blankets as tissue wrapping paper to give it the look of a bagged present, and cushion the bottom with thermal blankets. Then place the other gifts in between the blanket wrapping paper. This ensures the mother gets blankets off the registry and still lets you give her outfits at the same time
The thing to keep in mind is to stick with a theme and create around that. Be creative and do not be afraid to try something new. Using blankets as wrapping paper was a creative touch, and it is funny to see other people borrow your creativity at future baby showers.
No matter what you choose your custom baby gift basket will be a hit with mom and dad.
