Fill a baby gift basket with goodies.

Create Your Own

While you can order gift baskets for just about any reason, creating newborn baby gift baskets is easy and economical. Begin constructing this gift that new moms and dads are sure to love by choosing the perfect container. You really don't have to use a basket at all, although baskets are great to recycle for other uses. There are many other objects that can be used to hold baby items and then used again after the items have been removed.

  • Baby tub: Instead of trying to wrap a baby tub, fill it with lots of bath-oriented items, such as towels, washcloths, baby wash, lotions, bath mit, toys, faucet protector, non-slip mat, bath toy holder, soap crayons, bubble bath, goggles, etc. Of course a newborn won't use all of these items, but babies grow quickly! Tie on a big bow, and you have a gift that is sure to please!
  • Football helmet: If you know the baby will be a boy and his parents are football fanatics, find a small football helmet to fill with sports-themed baby items, including shirts, hats, socks, sweaters, jackets, toys, and books.
  • Storage cube: This is a great option because you can choose cubes in colors that match baby's nursery. After her parents have taken out the gift items from the newborn baby gift baskets, they can use the storage cube to house books, toys, and other baby odds and ends. For a more personal touch, add baby's initials, paint decorative designs, or add embellishments, such as sequins, rhinestones, and lace.
  • Baby carriage: Several baby shower guests could go in together and fill a baby carriage or stroller will lots of newborn baby essentials, such as shirts, socks, lotion, diapers, wipes, brush/comb set, burp clothes, receiving blankets, etc.

Newborn Baby Gift Baskets

Newborn baby gift baskets can also follow a particular theme.

  • Boat theme: Is the baby's room decorated in boats? Find a large boat (or an inflatable pool) and fill it with lots of boat-themed items. You may be able to find items at a discount store as well.
  • Stars and moon/ribbons and bows: Do the nursery walls have moons and stars or ribbons and bows? If so, hot-glue similar items onto a wicker basket for an added personal touch. Then fill the basket with all sorts of baby accessories.
  • Diaper gift basket: A diaper baby gift basket is the perfect gift. Fill a basket with wipes, diaper creams, etc. then surround it with disposable diapers. Better yet, fill a basket with gift certificates for disposable diapers or a diaper service.
  • Large gift basket: Since filling large newborn baby gift baskets can be quite expensive, have two or three guests go in together and fill a large basket with lots of baby essentials, such as diapers, clothing, bedding, and other items.
  • Gift certificate basket: Create a basket that moms and dads will love by asking guests to contribute gift certificates. These can be from local baby shops, department stores, restaurants, or diaper services. Guests can create their own gift certificates by printing out tickets for volunteer baby sitting, house cleaning, yard cutting, and other services.
