What Should Go Into A Baby Shower Gift Basket?

By Rowena Go


Wondering what should go into a baby shower gift basket? Gift baskets make great presents, especially when it comes to baby showers. They are a unique way to give more than one gift that can be helpful for the soon-to-be parents. Making them yourself also allows you to get creative and customize it to fit the gender of the baby and needs of the mothers. This personal gift is sure to go over well.

Some like to start off by selecting their wrappings and basket. In other words, getting the decorations in order. These will make it easier to decide on what all you want to include afterward and how it should arrange. Baskets come in varying sizes and designs. Make sure you get one that fits the presents. In some cases, these may be used afterward for storage and other uses around the home. Storage cubes, toy bins, and buckets can serve the same purpose and are another potential option.

Do not forget to get your trimmings as well. You will want the gift to look good as well. Ribbons, cellophane, and other embellishments may be helpful. Once you have settled upon the look of the basket, you can begin to fill it with all that you desire.

Adding shoes and clothes is a popular choice. If you are aware of the gender of the baby, it should be easy picking out these items. Some might even opt to include clothing and shoes of a larger size so the child can grow into them. It may also be nice to include stuffed animals, blankets, and pillows. These may become favorites of the child as it grows up. They can make the basket look nice and are also functional.

Diapers are a popular suggestion. These are considered practical. Babies, newborns especially, go through diapers quickly, and these are not cheap. Parents are usually willing to take on offers of diapers because it will save them a lot of money.

There are other baby accessories that might include. Add in hair bows for a little girl, socks, lotions, shampoos, small toys, bottles and pacifiers. These are all small items that are useful at different stages, and it will save the parents some money.

Sometimes people might like to go an extra step and include items in the basket for the mother to be. These might include bath products, slippers, a gift card to their favorite spa or other treats that you know they might enjoy. It can be hard to find time to pamper oneself when they have a new child. But there are plenty of little things that the mother can still enjoy, even if that means a pair of comfy slippers.

A benefit that comes with putting these together yourself is that you can make it special to include all the favorites of the receiver. Pick things that you know the parents will like. You may also consider adding in a special note. It can be hard to be a parent, but it is special to have family members and friends who offer support and give you nice gifts to help you along the way.
