Great Ideas for Baby Gift Basket

Nov. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Baby gift baskets are a perfect way to congratulate new parents. They are both practical and thoughtful. They can even help your friends cope with their new responsibilities, as well as save them the trouble and money in buying things that their baby needs. While there are a variety of ready-to-buy baskets, it’s still better to make your own. That way, you can make it distinct and personalized. Make your baby basket stand out from the others by including something special and quirky like unique baby toys. If you are clueless about what to put into a baby basket, read on for some great ideas.

First of all, you need to pick out essential baby things for the gift basket. Diapers are on top of the list. Babies will always need diapers and it seems like one cannot have enough of them. They also seem to run out pretty fast, so it will be helpful to have extra ones at hand. There are many basic baby needs that you can add to the basket like blankets, bibs, socks, feeding bottles and pacifiers. Babies also have a lot of necessities that can be overlooked like nail cutters, thermometers, and bottle brushes. To make your baby gift basket more unique and practical, use a container that can double as storage space that the new parents can use for their baby's things.

Try to think ahead. Babies grow up fast, so it would be good to consider things that the baby will need as he grows up. You can add a feeding set or teether, and don’t forget baby toys. Toys that can be held by hand and those that make sounds are great. You can put toys for bath time, as well as books and educational toys.

Give your baby basket a theme to make it even more fun. Color-themed baskets are cliché. You can try a circus theme or an animal theme. You can also consider an under the sea, magic, or train theme. Another option is to opt for a theme that fits into the new parents’ interests. For instance, if the new parents are huge Star Wars fans, why not use that theme?
