A gift given at a baby shower is a way to express your excitement and support for the expecting couple. The best gift to give is a gift that parents need on a day to day basis to help in the care of their new found joy. Gift baskets are a creative and simple way to give them everything they need in a functional and attractive way.
One way to present the basket is to arrange it to fit a specific theme.
Using a laundry hamper or hamper would be a nice accent to include a variety of clothes, socks, hats, shoes, t-shirts, and nursing blankets.
Another theme could be storing all your bathroom essentials; shampoo, soaps, lotions, towels, laundry, bath toys, and diapers in a baby tub. Another type of basket might include all the essentials in a baby care kit that a new mother would need, such as a thermometer, medical measuring spoon, water-filled teethers, nail clippers, comb, and brush.
A different way that some people prefer to present the basket is to mix all the useful items in one basket. For example, a basket could include diapers, clothes, and toys for a baby all in one. Or you can organize a basket that could benefit the baby for a variety of months with different sized diapers and clothes and toys to benefit a baby as young as twelve months.
A gift basket is also very practical when a large group of people are giving a gift together. Instead of having one big gift from everyone, a gift basket would include several different things that the new parents will need. Baby gift baskets can work even for older ages such as toddlers. A great gift idea for a toddler would be to include items in a potty training for the toddler. It could include things like pull ups or underwear for the training needs of the toddler.
The importance of the baby gift basket is in the way it is presented. The basket must be assembled in an orderly and attractive way to take advantage of its full potential. Making a basket is the best way to tie all the items together while adding your personal touch. A baby shower gift basket is the best gift you can give on this special day!
