A Baby Gift Basket Can Be A Perfect Present

A Baby Gift Basket Can Be A Perfect Present
By Christopher M. Luck

When a close friend or relative is having a baby, there are
always presents and baby shower gifts to think about getting.
The new mother is going to have an intense period of adjustment
before she gets settled into the routine of having another human
being to look after, so she will need all the help possible from
family and friends to make that transition as easy and memorable
as possible. This should be a celebratory time for the new
family, not a time of worry or stress, and a gift basket to
commemorate the new addition can be just the thing to brighten
their spirits even more, and maybe even supply them with some
things that will end up coming in handy.

A baby gift basket can be one of the easiest way for you as the
gift giver to be creative, and show the person your giving it to
just how much you care about them. Instead of one big gift, you
get to give out a plethora of trinkets, toys, and other fun
items, wrapped together in a beautiful package which, in itself,
can be a gorgeous thing to receive. A popular thing to do when
buying a gift basket is to let the company who makes it fashion
the wicker basket as a bassinet, within which are all the things
you want to bestow upon the new child, making your gift all the
more thoughtful and appropriate. Better yet, there are so many
companies out there that are experts at making these sorts of
things, so even if you’re not exactly Martha Stewart yourself,
you can let an anonymous craftsperson make it seem like you
should have your own cable show.

Within the gift basket, you’ll want to include the basics,
those simple bare necessities. This means, teddy bears and or
dolls are a given, as any parent will know a young child can
never have enough teddy bears. If you want to be gender
specific, you can go for the standard pink or blue color
palettes to appease notions of femininity and masculinity, but
many people nowadays are shying away from such black and white
notions of sex, so your best bet is probably to stay as neutral
as possible. This also means that you can go nuts and include
just about anything in the toy department that you want to give
the new baby. No longer do Tonka trucks mean ‘it’s a boy’ nor do
Raggedy Ann dolls indicate the infant is a girl, so take
advantage of this freedom in creating a truly unique and baby
gift basket. Baby oil or baby wipes can be the new parent’s
dream as well, since they’ll surely be running through plenty of
both, so don’t be afraid to include the practical as well as the
sentimental.

In addition to the variety of contents you can include in your
basket, you also have the luxury of having a wide range of
prices and sizes to choose from, as crafting gift baskets for
babies is a burgeoning market right now baby. Obviously, if the
expecting mother is only a co-worker or a casual acquaintance,
you don’t want to present them with an elaborately fashioned and
ornately packaged baby gift basket, as you’d probably be
shelling out more money than you really want to spend. A nice,
small gift basket can say everything you want to say, and do it
in a classy, memorable way, without costing you the proverbial
arm and leg.
