Creating a Cute Baby Gift Basket

Is there a new mom or mom-to-be in your life? If so, then there's no cuter gift than a baby gift basket. Gift baskets are wonderful gifts because not only are they filled with a variety of different items, the basket itself is also a gift! It's easy to create a precious baby gift basket. Read on for some ideas:

It helps if you know the gender of the baby that's expected. This makes choosing a color scheme (pale pink or blue, respectively) quite simple. If the mom-to-be doesn't know the gender of her baby, shades of white, yellow and seafoam green are always classy choices.

The first step when crafting a gift basket is choosing the basket. A delicate white wicker basket is an ideal choice. The basket can have a handle, although it doesn't have to. Another cute idea is to spray paint a cute metal bucket with a sweet pastel shade. Filler is crucial to a professional and pretty basket. You can use shredded paper, Easter basket grass or confetti. Choose filler that matches or complements the color scheme of your basket contents. You can use a solid color or combine a few different colors of filler.

After placing the filler almost to the top of the basket, it's time to arrange the gift items. There should be very little empty space in the basket. If your basket looks too empty, either get more gifts or a smaller basket. Great gift ideas for a baby gift basket include teethers, rattles, bottles, Onesies, cute picture frames, packaged washcloths or towels, baby lotion, and something special for Mom. Good gifts for new moms or moms to be include bubble bath, parenting books or magazines, scented candles, her favorite candy or even a gift certificate to a salon or day spa. Try to choose items that match your color scheme if possible for a pulled-together look.

Finish off your gift basket by wrapping it in clear or colored cellophane or even sheer tulle. You can wrap the entire basket, or simply the part of it that holds the contents. Complete your basket with a pretty ribbon or bow and a cute card. Now all that's left to do is give it to the recipient, who is sure to be delighted!
