Newborn Baby Gift Baskets

When your close friends have their first baby or twin, you probably think of what to buy for them as a gift. Instead of thinking of gift ideas, you can consider newborn baby gift baskets. You have less headache of trying to shop for a unique present for the boy or girl.

You can buy hampers for baby shower if you are lazy. But if you want to be creative, then you need to make your own gift basket. Just visit an art and craft store and you can choose many choices of baskets. Get cellophane with a baby motif, ribbons, tissue paper, a pre-inflated foil balloon with congratulatory message, and a greeting card with the baby names. It doesn't have to be luxury.

Just like Christmas, you can buy some of the gifts or favors online like Stork Baby Gifts Store. For the infant, choose good quality shoes, nursery rhyme CDs, baby furniture, clothes, and toys during shopping. These items will make the centerpieces of the basket. At the base of the basket, place the common items that newborn needs such as powder, shampoo, or napkins. You can include some stuffs such as bath salts, flowers, gourmet food, costume jewelry, or aromatherapy products for the mother. These items help her to forget about her discomforts during her last pregnancy. Need some more gift ideas? If you want to give something special for the parents, then just add a gift certificate where they can have their dinner.

If you plan to send the baby gift baskets to another distance place, make sure that the gifts are not easily broken such as infant clothing and the basket is sturdy. This will ensure that the safe delivery of the basket. I like this idea because I can wish my friends who are far away for their babies.

Sometimes, we focus too much on the baby and forget the rest of the siblings. Children likes presents. So, why not add some small gifts for them? In this way, the brothers and sisters would be glad to welcome their new baby into the family. Items such as toys or games would be appropriate for them depending on their age. Getting the toys which require parents' help will frustrate the little ones. If you take this route, your gift basket would be specialty as it involves every one in the family.

Making your own newborn baby gift baskets can be fun. Personalize gift basket would be a great idea. Taking extra effort in gifting will show your great love and concern for the family. Treat it as the baby's birthday and you will want to do something special for the child.
