A gift basket is a great gift to give when you’re stumped for ideas. You’re not sure how many strollers, front packs, sleepers etc. Mommy has? No problem. Throw a lot of things that you’re sure she’ll like, and present them in a large basket that will be the center of attention on the gift table. Gift baskets never run out of favor, because they are like so many gifts in one. The feeling of anticipation when you open a gift basket to reveal the treasures inside is priceless.

The secret to giving a great Baby Gift Basket is the sort of baby gifts you throw in there, of course. The more thought you put into making Mommy’s job easier over the next few months, the more she’ll thank you for it.

Baby care essentials like baby soaps, shampoos, creams, lotions are always a hit. So are clothes, bibs, booties and other cute gear for the little lot. But no matter what you choose to stock your gift basket with, make an extra effort to finish it in style.

To create a great looking gift basket, first buy a Moses basket or any other type of basket. A cute printed pail will look really cheerful stocked with goodies. Next, cut 2 yards of cellophane and place the basket on it in the center of the cellophane paper. Place paper towel or napkins at the bottom of the basket. Begin placing your baby gifts in the basket. The tallest gift should be placed in the center, the smallest in the middle and the medium sized one should line the edges of the basket. Scatter a few wrapped candies or even gourmet chocolates to pamper the young Mommy. Now, pull up the sides of the cellophane, and tie into a twist.

You can add any number of things to finish your Baby Gift Basket in style. Attach a bright snazzy bow to jazz things up a bit. Use pretty satin ribbon in pink and blue to finish the basket with grace and elegance. A large basket will need a large bow and a small basket will look dainty with a small sized bow attached. Or fix a little trinket to the tie twist with a little glue to glam up the basket.

A perfectly finished basket will be the cynosure of all eyes on the baby shower favor table.
