Baby Shower Gift Basket Ideas

by The Felt Mouse

Throwing a baby shower for someone is a tremendous gift in its own right.  Doing this provides an opportunity for other friends and family members to assist the parents in providing essential items for the future newborn baby or babies.  Designing a gift basket filled with useful items will be appreciated by the growing family.

1. Bath Gift Basket:  Using a baby tub as the basket, create a gift basket filled with baby soap, lotion, shampoo, bathrobe, washcloths, and towels.  Also, include a rubber duck with the words hot on its bottom.  The letters change color if the water is too hot for the baby.
2. Diapers Gift Basket:  Use a wicker storage basket, diaper genie, or plastic garbage can as the container.  Fill the container with a pack of diapers of any size, cornstarch, diaper rash cream (preferably Boudreaux’s Butt Paste), and a pack of wipes.
3. Book Gift Basket:  Pick out a cute cloth bag for the container.  Fill the bag with cloth and plastic children’s books.  Make sure to include a teething book in the bag, too.  Books that call for a picture of the baby make a nice addition to this gift bag.

Parents will enjoy any one of these gifts baskets because certain items are always a necessity when a baby is in the house.
