Baby Gift Basket Ideas
Our Baby
Gift
Basket Ideas will help you create your own beatiful gift baskets that
are sure to
please.

If one
of your friends just had a baby, you may want to consider
creating a baby gift basket for a unique gift. It's fun and
easy to do. However, if you are short on time, you can always
purchase a basket already complete with gifts and wrappings.
See examples at lower right to give you theme ideas and for
instructions to make your own basket if you'd like a little help
putting your basket together properly.
I always build my baskets around a theme rather than a hodge-podge of
different gifts, but it's up to you. This article is devoted
to helping you come up with good theme ideas for your baby gift basket.
Making your
own basket is actually easy and less expensive that purchasing a
basket, not to mention that it's fun! See the Amazon.com examples at
right for price examples. If you purchase products on sale,
including your basket, you can save money if you're on a budget and
still give a great gift that will be pretty and
functional.
Baby
Gift Basket Ideas For A Theme:
Nursery room items. These include colorful mobiles to keep
the baby
busy, lullaby music to soothe the infant, and nursery rhymes CD's.
Bigger items like layettes, changing mats for tables and cribs, and
other furniture for the baby may be found in deluxe baby gift baskets.
Educational toys are also good to make the baby gift basket more
beneficial in stimulating the baby's mental development.
Small Toys, Bottles And
Pacifiers. The following toys are also nice to place
inside your baby
gift basket. Rattles, pacifiers, teethers, feeding bottles, infant
cups, bibs and spoons are also useful add-ons in your baby gift basket.
Baby Bath Items.
Bath products for babies are also commonly found in
baby gift baskets. These include baby shampoo, baby powder, baby
towels, wipes, bubble bath, brush set and tub toys that the baby will
surely enjoy in the near future.
Baby Clothing.
Whether a boy or a girl, you'll have fun choosing clothing,
socks, nightgowns, onesies, slippers, caps, hats, girl baby bands and
more. For a boy or a girl, keep the colors within the same
color scheme so they can all be worn together.
Toddler or Young Child.
If your basket is for an older baby, make the
gifts suit the baby's age. Soft toys, board books,
board games, piggy banks will certainly win the jump with delight of a
toddler. Clothes for toddlers are also nice to include in your baby
gift basket.
Security Basket.
Fill a basket with security items such as a security monitor,
door, cupboard and cabinet locks, baby gate (this won't fit into your
basket) and whatever items you might find from your local hardware
store.

Baby Food:
Include baby cookies and crackers, baby cakes, baby
toast, cereal and
other baby foods. You can also include an inexpensive food
maker for babies such as the Munchkin
Baby Food Grinder (Colors May Vary)
by
Munchkin at left. This
makes a great and practical baby gift and an attractive center piece
for the basket.

Gourmet
food, wines and other fine food may also be placed inside a
baby food gift basket for the parent's celebration.
Small Picture Frames and
Albums. This is a great basket idea. Include
picture frames and book albums, digital albums, digital
camera (if the parents don't have one), ink jet paper for printing
photographs, key photo rings, etc.
Christening Celebration or
Baptism Theme. Include a small bible, silver
cups and any
symbolic item that adheres to the theme of the celebration and that
represents the
recipient's religion.
Handmade Items.
If you have time and love crafts, fill a basket with crochet
or knitted baby items, cross-stitched baby sayings framed to decorate a
wall, and baby blankets or afghans.
Decorate the basket when it's complete and finished.
