Tips for a Baby Gift Basket Loaded with Goodies
Trying to find some creative gift ideas for that baby shower? You might want to try using homemade gift basket ideas to surprise the new mom. This can be a delightful surprise full of useful and charming goodies. Instead of just one gift to open, she can dig through a treasure trove of baby items that is only limited by your imagination.
You’ll need to decide if you’re going to purchase a baby gift basket already assembled and attractively packaged, or if you’ll make up a homemade basket that can be personalized for the recipient.
Make it Yourself
It’s easy to make up a baby gift basket, as well as being a lot of fun. The first thing you need is a large basket, either decorated or plain. Choose a selection of little baby products, both useful and adorable. They don’t have to be expensive, so you can really make this an economical present. The greatest consideration is the amount of time you spend putting it together.
When choosing your basket, consider buying a plain one and then painting it. For extra impact, find a decorative basket with a baby motif. Line the basket with a receiving blanket and center your main item on it. This must be the biggest item, such as a plushy toy. Around this, arrange some smaller gifts. Items like bibs, washcloths, teething rings and soft toys are all great ideas.
Try using a theme for the gift basket as an extra special touch. For instance, you could make a bath time basket holding a few bath toys, a bath support, some baby soap and shampoo, and lotion. A cute little hooded bath towel is another good idea.
For wrapping the gift basket, use clear cellophane. You can also get gift basket bags that come in cute patterns. Finish it up with a big bow in a pretty pastel, and attach a card.
Ready Made and Ready to Give
Another option is to purchase a baby gift basket that’s already loaded with goodies and attractively wrapped. If you’re creatively challenged, this will save you some stress as well as time. You can find gift baskets either at a retail store or on the internet. Online gift basket stores frequently carry a large selection of cute themes like Baby Einstein and cookie bouquets. Some come with the option of personalization.
As shower presents go, a baby gift basket is certain to have a special impact. The new mother will appreciate your thoughtfulness and enjoy the contents.
