Gift Baskets are a popular gift during baby showers, as you can basically put in a lot of things for the expectant parents and the baby in one gift. These gift baskets are not just handy in holding all of your gifts; they are also decorative and can be made to match the baby shower theme and colors easily.
For people who are thinking about giving baskets for a baby shower, there are plenty of options when it comes to putting things in it. Here are some of the items you can put in gift baskets which the expectant parents will surely love:
• Diapers. Babies will use lots and lots of diapers, especially during the first few months of their lives. Giving diapers to expectant parents in gift baskets helps them cut costs during the first few months, and this is definitely one gift they will fully make use.
• Toys. All kids love toys, especially soft, hug-able ones. Babies will especially love soft toys which are brightly colored or make squeaky sounds when pressed. This is another great gift to give in the gift baskets for expectant parents and the baby as well.
• Baby books. Baby books are also great gifts for the baby, especially the one that has pop ups and makes musical sounds when opened. These books will also provide a great learning experience when the baby grows up.
• Hypoallergenic toiletries for the baby. You can give the parents of the baby hypoallergenic toiletries like soap, shampoo, powder, lotion, a bath wash, and baby wipes and place them in baby shower gift baskets. Most of these items can fit in a basket, and these things will come in handy for both the baby and the parents. Just make sure to choose a brand that is hypoallergenic to avoid causing any problems.
• Audio CDs with soothing sounds. Studies show that babies who are exposed to music at an early age end up being smarter and with a higher IQ compared to babies who aren't. This is why some parents put headsets and earphones over their tummies even before the baby is born and play classical music. You can include music from popular classical artists like Beethoven, Bach, and more in your baby shower gift baskets.
• Baby pillows. Small pillows that expectant parents can put in the cribs of their babies also make great items to put in baby shower baskets. You can choose small pillows with colors or prints that match the nursery or the theme of the baby shower so that the pillows you give will easily blend into the nursery.
• A blanket or towel. You can also put in baby shower gift baskets a folded blanket or a towel, which parents will surely find useful in the process of taking care of the baby.
You can also put in other useful items in baby shower gift baskets like a pacifier, a diaper rash ointment, a comb, and even a digital thermometer.
