Baby gift baskets are among the best ideas when gifting a newborn or a mom-to-be. Big or small, they can have a variety of items and can be customized according to your desire. You can a nice theme without spending too much. There’s a lot of of themes to choose from and you can get very creative to pull off that specific theme you want.

It is easy to arrange a baby gift basket if you don’t want to purchase a ready-made one. However, there are a few things that you have to keep in mind. First is the gender and age of the child. For newborns, you can think of either a general basket that has an assortment of baby items that the new parents can use for their newborn, such as diapers, burp cloths, wipes, and blankets or go for a theme-specific basket. If you are making a baby basket for a baby shower, you might want to consider a gender-neutral gift basket especially if you are not sure about the sex of the baby.

Depending on how many items you want to put in your basket, you may opt for a larger container instead of a traditional wicker basket. A toy box, laundry basket, or baby bath tub are just a few choices of containers that you can use as the “basket.” But if you want to give a crib, since there’s nothing that can hold it, you can leave it as it is or better yet make it the basket filled with stuffed animals and plush toys.

Aside from clothing and toys, there are also other nice ideas to put in a baby gift basket such as bath items. You can create a theme on this one, focusing on baby bath items such as baby shampoo, soap, oil, lotion, powder, diaper rash cream, baby bath robe, towel, and a few rubber duckies. When choosing bath products for a baby, choose tearless and hypoallergenic items.

Once you already made your decision as to what type of gift basket you want to arrange, you may want to think of how you will decorate it. The common embellishments are ribbons, bows, cellophane, and custom cards. If you will use a traditional wicker basket, it is very easy to wrap it using a clear colored cellophane. You can use ribbon to tie up the edges of cellophane together and then put a nice big bow for a final touch.

If you are looking for some more unique ideas in making baby gift baskets, surf the Internet to see a variety that you can choose from. There are also plenty of online stores that offer baby gift baskets, baby shower gifts, and other baby gifts in different themes and prices. You may opt to personalize your gift basket by including the baby’s name or initials onto the items that are tucked inside, or on the ribbon or card that you use. Custom ribbons and cards can be purchased at an inexpensive price.
