Baby blankets are excellent choices for your gift basket.
Baby gift baskets are ideal presents for baby showers. Many baskets are filled with essential items of baby care that cover a wide range of needs for new parents, as well as nonessential items, decorations and clothing.
Plush Toys
Plush toys are fluffy additions that add to the visual appeal of a baby gift basket. Place these toys in the basket last so they are not squished by other items. Stuffed toys will also make the basket look more attractive. Choose soft stuffed animals that match the decor of the nursery.
Comfort Itmes
Comfort items, such as pacifiers, bottles and blankets, are excellent additions for a baby gift basket. These items will come in handy when mom is dealing with a fussy baby. If the mother plans on nursing the baby, include breastfeeding supplies as well.
Decor Iems
Nursery decor items, such as a picture frame, silver rattles or porcelain toys, are also lovely additions for a baby gift basket. However, always keep the parents' preferences in mind when selecting these types of items. Ask about the theme in the nursery and match items according to the decor in the home.
Clothing
Clothing is an item that new parents will need to acquire often as babies grow out of their clothes very quickly, Select several outfits in different sizes, such as newborn, six months and one year. Choose t-shirts, one pieces outfits and pajamas. Roll up clothing just as you would a scroll and tie a pink or blue ribbon around the middle for decoration.
Teething Toys
Teething toys will come in handy during the first and second year of life when babies are cutting their teeth. Include two or three teething toys in the basket. This is a gift that may be overlooked.
Mommy Items
Gifts for mom are sometimes forgotten. Include a few things for her, such as a journal, bath products or necklace. Silver charm necklaces with baby booties and other "mom" accessories are available at some jewelry stores.
