subject: Should You Purchase A New Baby Gift Basket Or Make Your Own? [print this page] You've been invited to a baby shower and you don't know what to get the parents. You're thinking of a gift basket because you want to save a little money and you also want to make the gift as original as possible. Should you buy a new baby gift basket or should you make your own? There are perks to both. The most important thing, though, is that you're giving the parents and the new baby a gift to celebrate this new life so whatever you choose is sure to be a hit.
Buying
Buying a new baby gift basket is surely an option. When you go to the store to shop for one of these baskets, you'll see many options. There are baby book gift baskets, there are stuffed animal baskets, and then there are baskets that include things the parents will need for the baby's first few months of life.
The downside to buying a new baby gift basket is that they will likely be more expensive than if you were to make the gift basket yourself and you always have the chance of buying a gift basket that someone else buys. And who likes showing up at a baby shower with the same gift as someone else?
Making Your Own
Instead of buying a new baby gift basket, you can always make your own. All you need is a basket, some filler paper or fake grass, some plastic or wrapping paper to cover it with and a bow. Beyond that, you'll need the components to go inside. This is where making a gift basket can be fun.
You can choose whatever you want. If it's a girl, you can make it all pink with a bunch of pink toys and bottles and bibs and things inside. If a boy, make the theme blue. You have complete freedom when you make your own gift basket instead of buying a new baby gift basket and chances are it will be one of a kind.
So it all depends on how much money you want to spend and how unique you want to be. Chances are, however, that your basket will be a hit no matter what you choose; especially if the basket is filled with things the parents will need in the baby's first few months. And even if it's not, it's a nice touch and it shows that you really care about this new life that's just come forth, or about to come forth.
