Baby Gift Basket Ideas
Whether you are looking for baby shower gift basket ideas or baby gift basket ideas for the new arrival, there are several things to consider. If you know the sex of the baby, you may want to work the theme of the basket around that. Keep in mind however, that not all moms-to-be and moms love "pink" or "blue". If you don't know her thoughts on this, you're better off sticking with neutral baby colors like greens and yellows.
That being said, the first thing you want to do is decide what, if any, general baby theme you want to do. For example, do you want to have all items for baby's bath time? Maybe you want to do all baby clothes. Maybe you want to do all books. The most common type of baby basket gift idea is a basket that has many different items in it. You can still do a theme with this if you choose - color theme, animal theme, Disney theme, etc.
A good place to start when trying to figure out the contents for a basket is the list where the parents are registered. Not only willthis give you lots of possibilities, but you will be sure to give them things they really want and need. This could also give you an idea for the actual container, if you want to use something other than a basket.
Here are some unique baby gift basket ideas: Wouldn't a Baby Bath Tub be a great container? Fill it with all the bathing items they are looking for, plus items like a baby robe/wrap and tub toys. How about buying the Car Seat they chose, then filling it with items from their list? Perhaps a window shade and rear view mirror would be good additions too. Diaper Pails can actually make really cute gift baskets for baby as well. Depending on the type, you may have to secure items on the outside of the pail. Include things like diapers(you may want to put a package of 2-3 different sizes), diaper rash ointment, baby powder, disposable changing pads and baby wipes. Do the parents like Baby Einstein® products? You could do an entire Baby Einstein® basket!
Actually, any type of toy containers are great for baby gift basket ideas. Think about things like, wagons, Lego® tables, mini toy boxes, plastic crates and other organizational containers.Another cute baby gift basket idea is to fill a little Child's Suitcase or Overnight Bag with baby items. This can be a great gift for grandparents too - an overnight bag with all the things they'll need to take care of their grandchild when they babysit!
A Scrapbooking Basket is a great choice for those moms who love to scrapbook or who want to start. This basket could even be some type of scrapbook supply tote. Fill it with a baby album and all kinds of baby papers, stickers, stamps, inks and other embellishments and supplies.
Is Dad (or Mom) a sports fanatic? Why not give them a Sports Themed Baby Gift Basket? You could include baby logo wear - things like onsies, bibs, t-shirts and so on. Just about any clothing item for babies can be found with a sport's team logo on it. Even things like baby bottles, rattles and teething rings come with logos!
Personalize it. If you know baby's name, add items that arepersonalized. You can have things like bibs embroidered with their name. You could also have baby's name and date of birth embroidered on a blanket. What a lovely keepsake!
