Fantastic Baby Gift Basket Ideas


When you can't decide on just one gift for a new mom, a baby gift basket offers an appealing way to include many gifts in one cohesive theme. Whether you create the gift basket yourself or purchase one through a gift retailer, there are many different options for baby gift baskets.
Creating your own gift basket can be enjoyable and rewarding. The first thing to decide on is a theme for the basket. This could be something as simple as a general boy or girl theme. If you would like a specific theme, you could either pick one baby item and create a theme around that, or choose the theme and go shopping for the items you would like to include.
The next step involves choosing the size of your gift basket by picking out a container to place the items into. Although a basket is the traditional choice, you could easily pick any container that goes with your theme. The items that go into your basket should fit the theme you choose. There are endless theme ideas available for a baby gift basket.

Garden Theme - Place all of the baby items in a bucket or watering canister. The items you choose could display flowers, ladybugs, or butterflies. A stuffed gardening tool set would make a fun toy for baby to grow with. Baby lotions and oils that are lightly floral-scented would perfectly match the theme. Socks and shoes for little girls commonly have flowers on them.
Bath Theme - Baby shampoos, washcloths, a rubber duck, a baby bathrobe, towels, vinyl bath books, and after-bath oils can all be placed in a baby bath tub to create an eye-catching, functional gift basket.
Mommy and Me Theme - Moms always like to know they are not being overlooked, and this fun theme includes items for both the mom and new baby. You can choose a matching mom-and-baby dress or hat set, stretch mark creams and cozy slippers for the mom, lotions for the baby, and a large blanket to cover the mom and baby during a nursing or snuggling session.
You can decorate any gift basket by filling it with tissue paper or shredded paper and tying ribbons to the basket or baby items. Other theme ideas include a jungle theme, cowboy theme, nautical theme, teddy bear theme, fruit basket theme, or holiday theme. You could even base a theme off a specific book, licensed character, or sports team. Some common items you can choose to help fill your gift basket are baby nail clippers, diapers, wipes, books, toys, bottles, pacifiers, hats, burp cloths, mittens, teethers, and onesies.
Wagons, hampers, and bassinets could also be used as containers for gifts.
When creating or choosing a baby gift basket, keep in mind what the new mom needs for her baby and has listed on her registry. Always make sure the items you pick are safe for the baby; when in doubt, leave it out.
