- Step 1
Choose your budget. It's always empowering to set your limits for gifts before you start the nitty gritty shopping. There are lots of beautiful baby gift baskets that might lure you into spending a ton of money, so know your limits beforehand!
- Step 2
Choose whether you want to buy a boy, girl or neutral baby gift basket. If you're not absolutely sure what the sex of the baby is, then go for neutral.
- Step 3
Narrow down the specifics. Do you want to buy flowers with a stuffed animal, perhaps, which can please both parents and baby, or do you strictly want to buy for the newborn? Another option is to buy a food or wine gift basket for the new parents to help them relax with a note that says, "Can't wait to spoil that baby in person!"
Many baby gift baskets come with practical items for a baby like burpies, onesies, baby lotion and pacifiers. Some include keepsake picture frames or ceramic jars. Practical items are always appreciated by new parents, but if something memorable catches your eye then go for it. - Step 4
Choose your method. Do you mind paying for shipping on an online gift basket website? If you are far away from the new parents, then you might have to choose this route, but don't worry, you can still stay in your budget.
You might be able to put together your own baby gift basket and mail it yourself - sometimes this ends up costing just as much as buying a pre-made though!
Keep reading for links to great baby gift baskets! - Step 5
Search the best gift basket websites. Wine & Country Gift Baskets has quality baby gift baskets ranging from $30 to $50, but not a ton of selection in that category. The same goes for the respectable Harry and David website. Their gifts stay in the $50 category for strictly baby geared baskets. Baby Basket has creative baby gift baskets starting as low as $19 and they have a lot of selection. The Corner Stork Baby Gifts has some very classy looking baby gift baskets. Again, if you rather see a basket in person first, or find items to make your own, then check out your local Babies R Us, Gymboree or buybuy Baby. (See easy links below.)
- Step 6
Think practical. When putting together your own baby gift basket, here are some items to think about adding: diapers - buy a size or two up (since many babies are born bigger than newborn size), receiving blankets or a nice, soft quality baby blanket, baby Q-tips, organic baby lotion or baby wash, clothes for 3 or 6 months old babies, baby
wipes , and did we say diapers?
*Do the parents have a baby registry somewhere? You can buy items off their registry and put those into a gift basket!
