A New Baby Gift Basket -- The Perfect Gift for Proud Parents!
Do you know someone who's expecting a baby or just welcomed one? A new baby gift basket is the perfect way to say 'Congratulations!' It's easy and fun to make your own basket, or you can purchase one already made from one of the many gift basket companies out there.
To make your own gift basket, first gather your supplies. You'll need a basket or other container. A cute pail spray painted pale pink or blue can work great if you don't have a lot of gift items. Or, go for a cute wooden box painted in the color or colors of your choice. Filler material is a must and can be made from shredded paper in a soft pastel shade like pink, blue or yellow. Choose a ribbon and bow that matches the filler for a nice finishing touch. Fill your container almost to the brim with the filler material. Then, arrange the gift items in an attractive way. You don't want any empty space, because a sparse basket just isn't as appealing as one that appears to be overflowing. Making a gift basket is a creative endeavor that's limited only by your imagination!
There are a wide variety of items you can use to fill your gift basket. Here are some fun ideas: Bubble gum 'It's a Boy' or 'It's a Girl' cigars, chocolates for Mom and Dad, teething rings, rattles, baby T-shirts, booties, baby wash, lotion, powder, a cute ceramic piggy bank, an inspirational baby-related gift book, some parenting magazines for Mom to read during her precious downtime, a pair of fuzzy slippers for her feet and even a gift certificate to her favorite salon. After all, new moms need some special attention, too!
You can always purchase a pre-made baby gift basket. At http://www.greatarrivals.com, choose from gorgeous baskets of all kinds. Choose from everything from the $49.95 Baby Essentials package in pink or blue to the luxurious $199.95 Grand Welcome basket.
