Baby shower gift baskets can make a wonderful gift for a baby shower. If you are the baby shower host or just a close friend or family member of a mother to be spending some time and effort in putting together a baby shower gift basket can be well spent and a very thoughtful idea. There are some ideas below that we use in putting together baskets on a regular basis.

First you will need to select a basket. Keep in mind the size of the basket a s it will determine what types of things you purchase and how many items overall. With a large basket you will want to purchase large bulky items and many of them to fill up the basket. Of course with a smaller basket you can be more selective in what you put in and choose some tiny really fun unique items. Also when selecting a basket you might look for non traditional baby shower gift baskets. For example a baby bathtub, diaper bag or a small laundry basket can be a fun way to make a baby shower gift basket.

To start a gift basket purchase some colorful tissue paper or raffia. This makes a great filler, and base for loading the basket with gift items.

Next you will want to think about the babyÂ’s gender and use this to guide color choices. You can also check if the mom to be has a baby shower registry at any of the local stores. This can be an easy route to go. Having a theme can also making picking items much easier. You can choose a theme such as a cartoon character like Winnie the Pooh or you can choose a theme by activity like bath time. Then purchase items that fit within this theme.

For example a fun baby shower gift basket theme might be bath time. You can purchase a baby bathtub instead of a basket and then fill it with a new towel, slippers, a baby robe, small wash clothes, and some fun soaps. Then to top it all off throw in a little rubber ducky toy for the baby. This can be a fun gift that will be used every few days as the baby gets bathed.

Another example might be to make a fun memory trunk. Purchase a small trunk and fill it with keepsake memory type items. Things like a baby footprint kit, a photo album or journal for mom. Anything that can be used to document, record, and remember the babyÂ’s first year can make a fun memory trunk or time capsule. You can also fill this with items that were popular the year the baby is to be born. For example a CD collection with the top hits for the year, some newspaper clippings from events or highlights of historical events for the year and so on. This can make a fun memory that as the baby grows can be added too.

If you have been invited to a baby shower and can’t think of the best gift to get, think about getting a few smaller gifts. Perhaps there is one item, you can’t find, but you don’t have to worry. Imagine putting together a gift basket for the expectant mom and all of the great presents you will be able to find for her and the baby.

There are different ways to create a baby gift basket. You can have themed baskets with different types of bath items or toys for the baby. You don’t have to create the basket yourself if you aren’t creative enough. Baby stores or gift shops will have many pre-made boxes or baskets for you to buy.

Let’s look at different type of baskets that you can create or look for:

Bathing gift basket: This basket can include many cute items. Look for different shampoos and soaps that are especially made for babies. Babies use soft and gentle products because their skin is so sensitive. Included in this basket are hooded towels, which are great products for babies. After a bath they keep the baby warm. You can also include washcloths, a comb, pajamas and even a rubber duck.

Good night gift basket: Put a nighttime gift basket together for the baby. This can include pajamas, lotions and perhaps a mobile to put in the crib. Other items that you might want to include is humidifier for the baby’s bedroom or any type of cute pictures that can go into the baby’s room. The good night basket should have many soothing items in it that will help the baby fall asleep easier.

Fun for Baby gift basket: This gift basket will include many toys for the baby. Maybe a newborn isn’t going to use all these items right away, but that shouldn’t stop you from buying lots of goodies for the baby. Buy toys that the baby can progress into. Start with a rattle and toys for a very young baby. Then, move on to toys for slightly older babies. You can ransack a toy store for all the best gifts.

Gender-based gift baskets: If you know the gender of the baby, you can look for items that are for a boy or a girl. Find cute clothing, toys, bottles and any other items that are made just for a boy or a girl. If it’s a boy, you can get a sailboat-themed type of basket. Get clothing with little sailboats on them with similar themed bibs and onesies. You can also buy a little sailboat that the baby can play with in the bath. This works well with many different types of theme such as racecars for boys and butterflies or fairies for girls.

Soothing Mom gift basket: The baby isn’t the only person that needs attention. Mom-to-be will be dealing with a lot when the baby is finally born. Put together a home spa for mom. Perhaps a pedicure spa or a gift certificate to professional spa can be included in the basket. You might include a plush bathrobe with different oils and scents. Also give mom a special made coupon that says you will baby sit one night to give her a much needed night’s rest. This gift basket can include many items that will help the expectant mother soothe into the transition of motherhood easier.

You can put together these baskets yourself or find pre-made ones on the Internet or a store. Include a card in the basket. By getting many small gifts, your will leave a lasting effect on the expectant mom with your thoughtful and practical gift.
