Have you been invited to enough baby showers to finally be tired of the same old gifts and gift choices? Or tired of racing all over town to get a last minute gift the mother will love and doesn’t already have? Try making a gift basket that focuses on one of the more important times a
mother shares with her baby.
Bath time is a big event for newborns and infants, one a brand new mother may not be expecting, and one that many of her friends tend to overlook when the baby shower rolls around. So the next time you are invited to a baby shower, show how insightful you are by giving the mother a bath time themed gift basket.
Suggested Items:
A baby bath.
Hooded baby towel.
Wash cloths/ Wash mittens
Bath toys
Soothing or Fun Music
Baby shampoos and wash
After bath blanket
Use the baby bath as the basket, and line the bottom with a soft baby blanket. Then set up the rest of the gifts by size. It works best with the biggest gift or box in the middle, the mid-sized gifts to the side of it, and the smaller gifts in the front.
You can theme the gifts and colors for a boy or girl like many other baby shower gifts, choose your own color theme, or just go with different colors. Each way makes the basket look very fun.
Most baby baths do not come with handles, so don’t buy one so big or fill it so full you’ll need two people to carry it.
One really great touch is to have the towel, wash cloths or blanket personalized with the baby’s name or something like “Mommy’s Little Princess.” If you decide to have the baby’s name added, be 100% positive the name wont change, as that happens a lot.
Two other little touches you can add are a waterproof disposable camera, and a scented candle. These are both for the parents, as many parents like to take pictures of their child’s first bath from memories. The candle is to promote a more pleasant and relaxing environment.
As for wrapping, I normally go without wrapping the whole basket up, but if you just have to wrap it, then you’ll need a roll of cellophane and help. Place tape under the basket so it wont show and don’t wrap it so tight that the cellophane might tear. After it is wrapped, handle the package with care.
