Baby gift basket ideas?
Ok my aunt is expecting too so i can relate. if i didn't know the sex of the baby i would use soft neutral colors like green or yellow for the blanket http://www.nursery-rooms.co.uk/images/Wi... (sorry i couldn't give you more variety to choose from, this is the only one i found)

and dont forget the teddy bears, range them different in sizes and colours http://www.morethanagiftonline.co.uk/sof... oh and buy diapers and if you want to you can sew or crotche (sp, pronounced cra-shay) a little pillow for him/her to rest on and to cuddle with, and try to make up a little lulllaby then buy one of those recording gift cards and put the lullaby on it, dont forget about the parents too, to help them save money on baby necessity's buy them at least a 20 dollar gift card for a baby store conveniently close to their home so that the mom doesn't have to drive or walk too long to get there. hope this helps and tell them congrats 4 me.
Reply:oh thanx for the 10 points, i really needed 'em and i tried my best. im so glad you appreciate my help and maybe someday id lke to add you to my friends list. if its ok wit you of course. thanx gotta go. Report It
Reply:Ad "safety items" like cabinet locks, corner guards, bath temperature tester, a "choke hazard tester"(looks like a tube and will let you check if an item is too small for baby to play with) and a Baby food cook book. These are things I always include in any basket and new mommies just love them since they take allot of the worry out of parenting. Good Luck!
Reply:For my baby shower someone made me a "diaper cake". She rolled up over a hundred diapers and stacked them to look like a big wedding cake. She also wralled little wash cloths, and onesies around a few of the diapers and hung a few binkies and rattles off the sides. It was so awsome and SO useful.
Reply:I received a diaper cake and was not impressed. It's just a bunch of diapers, and the person made a big deal like it was some great gift. Sorry, just my opinion.
Reply:Put it all in something that is cute and functional. I like using a small plastic wagon or a baby bathtub. If it is a real special friend I give them a big yellow Tonka dump truck (it is good for a girl too, I loved mine to haul barbies in mine when I was a kid).
Reply:What about getting a baby tub and putting everything that you got in it? Maybe some extra wash clothes or a bath toy. Someone did this for my baby shower and I thought it was a really cute idea. I hope this helps!



Good luck!
Reply:Basics are diapers, bottles, diaper rash ointment, shampoo, burping cloths, brush, baby creams, wipes, a little rattle and maybe a piggy bank.
