Are you going to be attending a baby shower for a new mom with a baby girl? If the answer is yes, you probably want to find an interesting gift that’s different from the usual. Most moms are registered somewhere, and you could easily go that route. But why not try something different and make up a baby girl gift basket? There is any number of items that you could arrange in a baby girl gift basket, and the ideas never end. So instead of heading out to the store to purchase just any old thing, get the things you need for a baby gift baskets that will really mean a lot to the new mom.
The first items you need to buy for a baby girl gift basket are the essentials. All babies, whether boys or girls, require specific items. Try picking up some sleepers, receiving blankets, diapers, baby bottles, bibs, pacifiers, sheets for the crib, baby wipes – the list goes on. But even though these things are essential for new parents, your gift basket won’t really be distinctive if you just put in these basics.
One way means of making your baby girl gift basket unique is to choose a theme for it. Try something like bath time or feeding, and include some things the mom will require to carry out these activities. You need to find out whether she’s planning on breastfeeding or bottle feeding. A breastfeeding mom will be happy to get some breast pads, nipple cream, and nursing accessories. A bottle fed baby requires lots of bottles, and you can give coupons for baby formula, and bottle cleaning supplies.
For a bath time basket, pick up some soap, shampoo and lotion specially formulated for babies, some soft washcloths, and a little hooded bath towel and matching booties. As well, add some bath toys for the baby to play with when she’s a little older. You can put all this in a bath toy holder instead of a basket for a truly special look. If you decide to go with a bath time theme for your baby girl gift basket, just be certain that you pick up products that won’t irritate the skin in case the little one is sensitive to certain products.
Of course, your baby girl gift basket has to be pink. Babies don’t really look either male or female when they’re tiny, and most parents don’t like people to have to guess which they are. To make it clear, they will often put hair bands and bows on little girls. So a great addition to your basket would be tiny hair bands, clips and bows. And don’t forget some pink clothing in your baby girl gift basket.
