Baby gift baskets are very personal and a way to show new parents how much you care. They can be given when a baby is born, or for a shower gift, baptism, christening or for babys first birthday. If the basket is a gift given before the baby is born, a combination of generic baby gifts like diapers, rattles, pacifiers, wash clothes, etc. make a perfect, useful basket. If the sex of the baby is known, then pink or blue with a mix of colors makes for a beautiful and practical gift that can include a baby blanket, sweater, pajamas, etc.

You can also use your imagination and find other holders instead of baskets for the gifts. For instance, you can fill a baby bathtub with washcloths, diapers, towels and soaps and shampoos. Or, if family and friends are sharing the expense of a cradle, you can fill it with stuffed animals, blankets, sheets, baby clothes and other special baby gifts.

While youre at it, you might want to also put together a small basket for the new mom or mom-to-be. This could contain some of her favorite CDs, a couple of picture frames (to put new babies picture in), bubble bath, skin creams again, you can use your imagination. Its just another way to say that you care about mommy too!

There are hundreds of gift basket ideas for babies. You can either make one up yourself, which is always more cost effective, or you can go to any local gift basket store in the area. Most have many wonderful baby gift basket options. There are also several online sites that have fun and creative baby gift baskets at all prices. Just keep in mind, that when flowers or baskets are delivered, there is usually an additional delivery charge.
