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.

One Of My Favorite Baby Gift Basket ideas

Baby Food Maker







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.  Go here for instructions on how to finish and protect the contents of your basket.
