Putting Together A Unique

Baby Gift Basket

If you are going to a baby shower for a friend, family member, or coworker, you may be trying to think of unique ideas for a present. While many people are content simply going to the gift registry and picking something off of it, you want to do something unique and memorable for the expectant mother. If this is the case, try putting together a unique baby gift basket for the expectant mother and her bundle of joy!

Making It Unique

Putting together a baby gift basket is not inherently difficult. Simply pick out several items, put them in a nice basket or bin, and cover it with tulle or sheer material with a ribbon or bow on top. It seems simple. However, there are many things you can do to make it a unique baby gift basket.

First, you could personalize it. A personalized baby gift basket can be a great treat for mom and baby! This works best if you know what the baby’s name is going to be. If you do, there are many different things to put in this unique baby gift basket. First, look online for name meaning sites. There are several places where you can get a name explained in depth and framed. These are especially meaningful if the family is naming the baby a biblical name due specifically to the meaning of that name. Second, look for places where you can personalize items. You can get personalized one piece suits, socks, booties, pacifiers, and a personalized diaper bag as well. You could even put everything in a personalized diaper bag and make it a unique baby gift basket in a diaper bag!

Another really special and unique baby gift basket idea is to make flowers by rolling the clothes. It is really simple to do. There is a picture at the top of the article of a Baby Bouquet of baby clothes gift basket. If you feel crafty you can experiment rolling washcloths, bibs, and baby shirts to make little buds. You can tape them or use rubber bands to keep them rolled. Add a few sprigs of artifical flowers and tissue paper. Stuff into a vase or cute container and you will have an adorable unique baby gift basket that is sure to delight any new mom.

Another way to make your unique baby gift basket is to chose a specific theme. Instead of putting a bunch of random items into a beautiful basket, put items that go together in it. There are many different themes you could choose. You could do a unique baby gift basket that is all about sleeping. In it you could put swaddling blankets, pacifiers, a snuggly toy (for when the baby is older), baby massage lotion, a lullaby CD or white noise CD, and a bed time storybook.

Another unique baby gift basket idea is feeding, most specifically breastfeeding. Many people will buy other themes like bath time or clothing themed presents, but few people will remember a breastfeeding mother’s needs at a baby shower. If you include nipple cream, breastfeeding friendly pacifiers, breast pads, nursing bras, nursing shirts, and a nursing cover up for nursing in public, you will be the expectant mom’s hero!

Whatever you do, your gift basket will truly be a unique present that will stand out amongst the traditional presents!
