3 Cute Baby Gift Basket Ideas

Helping Parents and Baby Boomer Grandparents

Twist on the Traditional Basket

A traditional wicker or cane basket is the first one that comes to mind when you’re thinking of a baby gift basket or one for any other occasion for that matter. You can add a twist to the relatively plain basket by spray painting it blue or pink if you know the sex of the baby or even a neutral shade of yellow or green. T his will make the basket stand out more than the typical shades of brown.

You can fill up the basket with essential items from a baby registry until you reach your budget or you can just pick up one item and present it in a baby gift basket to make it look a little different from all the boxes and bags at the baby shower. Remember to find a coordinated bow and tissues to tie and pad the basket with for a coordinated look.

A short cut to a cute baby gift basket is buying the basket plus a gift set of baby stuff. Then unwrap the gift set from its original, boring packaging and nestle iems between tissues and make it into a more unique baby gift basket.

Moses Basket

The oval shape, elongated basket traditionally thought of as the one in which Moses’ mother left him in the river to be rescued by the pharaoh’s wife is called the Moses basket. It ties in well with a baby gif t basket theme and has more space to hold stuff especially if the items t are big or bulky like a diaper pail. Many people even use the Moses basket to let an infant nap in, but make sue of safety guidelines as far as the infant’s height and weight are concerned and whether the basket has the risks of toppling over. To be on the safe side, use a Moses baby gift basket to present your gift and then perhaps to store baby supplies within easy access.

Dual Purpose ‘Basket’

If the recipients are very practical people, they might think a typical baby gift basket is not very useful. So, you can use a baby bath tub as your basket. Fill it up with a hooded towel, some tear-free baby shampoo, a cute rubber ducky and you’re set. The basket and the gifts in side are practical and yet presented and wrapped in a way that is a little out of the ordinary. Other items with which you can use the dual purpose baby gift basket idea are bassinets and infant car seats.
