Baby Gift BasketsGood friends of ours just had their first baby - an adorable baby girl named Madison Lee. We have been talking about what to buy them as a gift.
Baby gift baskets can be purchases pre-assembled. However, we have decided to collect and assemble our gift basket on our own. We will purchase a large basket with a sturdy handle at a local craft shop along with cellophane (preferably in pink or printed with a baby motif). As well, we will pick up some ribbons, tissue paper, possibly a pre-inflated foil balloon with congratulations message, and of course an appropriate card. Then we will begin gathering items to put into our baby gift basket. Some items we will look for are good quality baby shoes with decent support, a couple of choices from the Baby Einstein line of products... A fashionable hat, mitts and scarf set. Then we will choose more generic items to fill up our baby gift basket. These choices will likely include: Liquid baby powder (real baby powder can affect baby's breathing), a baby-safe stuffed toy... Something to help mommy relax (bath salts or similar aromatherapy products), an assortment of baby care products and last but not least; A gift certificate for a local restaurant so that both parents can enjoy an evening away from the hectic demands of parenthood. Baby gift baskets are an especially good choice for people living a great distance away (like us). As long as items are non-breakable, these gift baskets can be safely shipped and are a great way to send best wishes and practical gifts to new parents and babies. In the past, when we had our children, we were fortunate to receive several baby gift baskets. It's a lot of fun to get and give an assortment of gifts and it's a good way to make sure to include everyone in the family. It's especially good to remember any other little brothers or sisters in the family, who may feel somewhat left out by all the fuss over the new baby. Including a special gift or two for the other children is a wonderful gesture of care and makes things go that much more smoothly while welcoming the new little one to the family. Good choices to include in your baby gift basket, for the other children will likely include toys and games that they are able to operate on their own. So it's very important to be conscious of their ages, since buying a toy or game beyond their age range will require adult assistance... And likely result in disappointment for the children, rather than the intended distraction. Indeed, buying or assembling a baby gift basket is a great way to personalize your gift. The extra time it may take to make your gift just right will definitely be appreciated by the new parents and the practicality of the gift will make their job that much easier.
