Creative Baby Shower Gift Baskets

Do you want to give a new mommy a special baby shower gift that will stand out from the others, really get used, and not cost a fortune? Try putting together a beautiful themed baby gift basket!

It becomes difficult to select a unique baby gift that will really be used. Some of the most useful baby shower gifts... well, they just don't seem all that special! While any mom would appreciate a pack of Huggies, a single pack of diapers does not make for a very impressive baby shower gift. But if you include that pack of diapers in a beautiful, useful gift baskets -- now you have a baby shower gift that will be appreciated and remembered!

Here are some baby shower gift baskets themes you could try:

1. Nursing Mommy's Gift Basket -- Is the new mother planning to breastfeed? If so, she would definitely appreciate items such as Lansinoh, nursing pads, and The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding in a baby shower gift basket. You could also include clothing items such as a nursing cape or a shirt with nursing slits in your baby gift. If your baby gift basket still needs some cheap fillers, add a water bottle and a few healthy snacks such as dried fruit, granola, and trail mix.

2. Baby Bath Gift Basket -- Every new mother (and baby) needs consumable items such as baby bath, powder, diaper cream, baby wash cloths, and so on. Get really creative and use a baby bathtub as your baby gift basket.

3. Baby Pharmacy Gift Basket -- It might seems difficult to make pharmaceutical products look beautiful and appealing, but they will be appreciated by all new moms and look great in this baby gift basket. Provide the mother with necessities such as Infant Tylenol drops, Little Tummies/Noses/other products, teething tablets, and Vicks BabyRub. You can also stick in your baby gift basket useful items such as baby fingernail clippers, medicine droppers, and a thermometer.

4. Themed Gift Baskets -- If the mother has selected a nursery theme such as Noah's Ark or Precious Moments, purchase some small items along those lines for your baby gift basket: light switch plates, figurines, and a musical toy or mobile. She would also appreciate a homemade item such as a simple quilted blanket or pillow as part of the baby gift basket.

Get creative with your baby gift basket itself as well as the contents. You could use a diaper bag, laundry basket, diaper pail, or a small tote with a lid to contain the items that make up your baby gift basket. Any mother would appreciate a baby gift basket full of useful items, and you don't have to spend a fortune to make one. Go ahead and get started on your baby gift basket before you need another baby shower gift!
