Why Baby Gift Baskets Make the Perfect Gift

When a new baby arrives in the world, the proud parents are traditionally presented with a large number of gifts. Congratulating a friend or family member on the arrival of a new baby is always a kind thing to do but coming up with something that is unique and special can be a bit difficult. If you would like to avoid giving the new baby a duplicate gift, baby gift baskets are your best bet.

These baskets are very useful. Even though more practical gifts like diapers will be appreciated and used, a gift basket is much more attractive and desirable. The ‘basket’ you choose to use can be a rather ordinary wicker basket or something more unique like a baby bathtub or a clothes basket filled to the brim with bottles, wash cloths, pacifiers and clothing.

Baby baskets are very well organized as the typical gift basket is self-contained. Things are plenty chaotic enough in the home of a new baby so handing the parents a neat basket filled with useful items is sure to be very well-received. The basket could possibly be set out on display in the nursery for all to enjoy so be sure to choose a colorful basket (or hamper, baby bathtub) wrapped in a pretty bow.

Baby gift baskets can be gender-specific if you’d like. For instance, a baby boy gift basket can feature baby boy toys such as soft cars and trucks, blue wash clothes and clothing in blue. A baby girl gift basket can be filled with pink stuffed animals, pink pjs and pink wash clothes and pacifiers. There are some great unique baby girl and baby boy toys on the market right now that are sure to delight any parents so consider looking around online to get some ideas if you want to make a gender-specific basket.

Gift baskets for babies do not have to cost much. In fact, if you take an average sized basket and fill it with a few toys, one or two items of clothing, pacifiers, rattles and bibs you could easily stay under the $50 mark. If your budget allows and you wish to spend more you could buy a small Radio Flyer kid’s wagon and fill it with large large stuffed animals, diapers, and an assortment of necessities the new parents would enjoy receiving.

Of course you could always buy a pre-made baby gift basket online. The stores selling these will wrap them and include a card with your customized message inside and have the basket sent directly to the new parents. This option would be perfect if you live a distance away from the family and do not have the opportunity to deliver the present yourself.
