Filling A Baby Gift Basket

Baby gift baskets are a wonderful idea for someone who has just had a baby. Many new parents don't realize how much their life changes after the birth of a baby. They are no longer able to make a quick trip to the store when they need something. They need to work around the baby's eating and sleeping schedule. Even then, a simple trip to the store for some milk can become an ordeal. That is why gift baskets are a great idea.

There are some things that are essential to put in a gift basket, and then other things that are just nice. For one thing, diapers are a must. Every new parent realizes they are going to need diapers, but you can never have enough! A NUK may be a good idea as well, depending on whether or not the parent is willing to use one. Most parents will be, since they work wonders with crying babies. Things such as diaper wipes and baby lotions are nice as well. These are things that are also continuously used, and may run out quicker than the new parent expects!

Some things to include in a baby gift basket that aren't necessities may be toys, rattles, books, etc. Books are an especially good idea, as the new mother or father may find that reading to their child at a young age stimulates brain growth and development.

A color theme may be a good idea depending on if the baby is a boy or girl. This isn't necessary though, as some people may fear that using pink and blue themes are too much of a cliché. Instead of a color theme, you could choose to do something such as jungle animals, circus theme, etc. If money is not a concern, you may choose to do a very extravagant gift basket, and include a high priced item such as a changing table, or another piece of furniture. A baby hamper may be a good idea as many parents don't even realize this is something they will need.

Finally, the gift basket should be personal. You should include something for the parent's, as they deserve a treat as well! Alcohol is not a recommended gift, especially for nursing mothers, but something like a gift card to a movie theatre for the new parents may be a romantic option.

To conclude, put thought into it, and make it look nice! Babies are exciting, and all parents will deserve and appreciate the thought that comes along with a nice baby gift basket.
