Baby gift baskets are great gifts for baby and mom. Let’s face it, many gifts given for baby are really for mommy because she is often the primary caregiver. She is the one who changes the diapers, feeds the baby, sings baby to sleep, reads the books and collects the mementos. In other words, when choosing a basket you have to keep both mother and child in mind.

 

For Baby!

 

The best feature of baby gift baskets is that you can put whatever you want in them! Since it’s not a single gift but rather a collection of gifts, you can blend items meant for both mom and baby. Choosing the right basket can be difficult though because there are so many great versions of this great gift.

 

The first step is to pick a basket that has what baby can use. Following are just some of the great gifts for baby that can be included in a basket.

 

 * Soft stuffed animals with sound box that plays soothing go-to-sleep music

 

 * Squeaking toys that delight baby’s senses

 

 * Baby blanket that is just the right size

 

 * Toddler sweat suit

 

 * Stuffed teddy bear

 

 * Baby clothes

 

You can choose baskets with a theme too. For example, there are baskets made for little girls with hearts and pink blankets. Baskets for boys are mostly blue and only contain items like blue trimmed blankets and onesies. On the other hand, there are also plenty of baby gift baskets that have a rainbow of colors making them ideal for any baby shower.

 

For Mom!

 

Mom can get gifts too. You can give the mother gifts that make it easier to care for baby or let her create treasured memories. Great gifts for mom also includes those that are simply fun and represent the celebration of the birth. For example, a basket containing the ingredients for a hot fudge sundae is just plain fun. Mom and dad can celebrate with a gooey rich sundae, or mom and her best friend can compare child rearing notes over a dish filled with sweet ice cream and chocolate.

 

Gifts that can be slipped into a basket that is meant for mom as well as baby include:

 

 * Burp cloths

 

 * Kit for making baby hand or foot print

 

 * Hot fudge sundae mix for celebration purposes

 

 * Pop up small toy box for carrying baby’s favorite toys

 

 * Cotton robe for baby to keep a little body warm after a bath

 

 * Lullaby CD

 

 * Wicker basket that can be used over and over again

 

 * Baby brag book

 

For Both!

 

Once you decide which baby gift basket will work best for your needs, there is still the option of adding single items specially selected just for baby or mom or both. You can purchase a basket and add a special teddy bear, a baby journal book and an engraved baby spoon for example.

 

Baby gift baskets are flexible gifts that can be filled with whatever you want. Use a tote bag instead of a basket, and your gift can be personalized with an initial or a name too.
