Diaper Bag Gift Baskets

making a gift basket?

i am planning on making a gift basket for my friend who just found out she is pregnant. no i know she is due in december so we have a while but i was thinking of just getting stuff here and there thoughout the summer to put in there. i am just trying to decide exactly what to put in there. i know i was thinking of putting like the little samples of different bath stuff and the desitin samples. but i dont know what else i wanna put in there.

Any ideas of what to put in would be helpfull. i dont have much cash which is why i plan on doin a little here and there over the summer.

I had also thought of putting everything in a diaper bag as the basket.

Onesies
socks
bibs
bottles
wash clothes
baby wipes
diapers
brush/comb
hair bows (if it's a girl)
picture frame(s)
blanket(s)
diaper ointment
travel pack of baby care
grooming kit
toys
teethers
baby spoons
pacifier(s)
burp clothe(s)
Baby wipe travel holder
small travel size diaper bag
I would also through in a few things for the mother to be as well, such as:
perfume
lotion
magizines/word books
candles
chocolates
bath set

Baby Gift Baskets For Showers And Newborn Gifts

If you are wondering what to buy for a baby gift or baby shower gift, then you may be faced with something of a dilemma.

You will know that the parents probably need practical things, as does the forthcoming or newborn baby.

The parents will probably also like items that are attractive, while a new baby will not care one little bit what their clothes, bedding or any other baby items look like.

An attractively presented baby gift basket helps the gift buyer to reach a compromise, and solve their dilemma.

It is certainly fine, if not desirable, to focus on practical baby gifts, whether they are to be presented at a baby shower or directly at some other time; before or after the new baby is born.

That then leaves the desire of the parents, and the person giving, to receive or offer a gift that is attractive.

With a gift basket, you can combine the practical gifts with some pretty and attractive necessities, thus making an ideal gift offering to celebrate the birth.

Many of the things parents will really need for a new baby are quite mundane, to say the least.

Diapers, baby powder, baby soap and other seemingly trivial items are really necessities, and will be welcome gifts for a new baby.

However, individually they do not make gifts that most of us would like to give.

Despite that, mixing the baby powder, diapers and wet wipes with some toys, and then presenting them nicely, can bring about a transformation.

That is where baby gift baskets really come into their own.

For example, you could have a diaper bag as a ''basket'' and include a few baby toys, such as plastic ducks, baby rattle, and cuddly bear, together with more practical items like a wash cloth set, baby manicure set, picture frame, flannel baby blanket, gel teether, comb & brush set, and baby wash.

Another type of example would be an educational mix in a coloured wicker basket.

You could use blue, pink or neutral colours for the basket, then for the gifts choose items like board books, soft toys with classical sounds, colouring crayons and a colouring book.

Such gifts will be appreciated more later, of course, but they are good to have in hand when the baby is born as babies soon take an interest in pictures.

There are many permutations of gifts once you have made that decision to give a baby gift basket either at a shower, or after the baby has been born.

There is also one plus for you: it can be great fun making up a basket gift yourself, or even choosing one online.

For a baby shower, a cookie gift basket could offered as an additional basket, to provide part of shower feast.
