Did you ever notice how some baby gifts stand out from
the crowd while others seem to get lost in the pile of
gifts? Baby gift baskets are nothing but a handful of gifts
including toys, books, candy, etc. packed in a beautiful
basket. But to buy baby gift baskets is not sufficient
these days. The presentation is what matters the most.
This has less to do with the cost of the baby gifts then
with the way they are put together or presented.
Steps to Build a Beautiful Baby Gift Basket
To present a baby gift basket which looks unique and
draws attention the following suggestions should be
helpful:
1) While selecting the gifts to put in the basket one must
carefully think about the current and important needs of
the parents. For example, a coupon for baby sitting,
especially at night, can be a very good option.
2) One can show his or her creativity by putting together
a nursing survival kit comprising breast pads, lansinoh
cream, and a copy of "The Womanly Art of Breast
Feeding".
3) Another option is to create a sleep-time baby gift
basket consisting of a soft baby blanket, a white noise
CD and a miracle blanket.
4) One must be very particular about providing
everything which will be needed by the parents to enjoy
the gift. For example, if the presents requires a set of
batteries, then it would be nice to include a small
package of batteries.
5) The ideal baby gift basket should be the one which
doesn't require any work on the part of the parents to
enjoy.
6) It would be nice to include the gift receipt in the
basket in case the parents get two or three similar baby
gifts so it will be easy to exchange it for a different one.
7) A card mentioning the full name and address of the
person presenting the gift should be in the basket so it
will help the parents keep track of the gifts and return a
thank you note if they choose.
8) It is important that if one doesn't know the family very
well, then he or she should not send a personalized gift.
With a personalized gift, too often the name gets
misspelled. For example, names like John and Kathy
can be spelled as Jon and Cathy. Moreover, it's very
difficult to know by what name the parents call the baby.
If they named her Margaret, but are used to calling her
by a nickname like Peggy, then it's possible that the
child would never get a gift with Margaret engraved or
embroidered on it.
So there you have it. If you want to buy baby gift baskets
for newborn babies and their moms, you can stand out
from the rest with the above recommendations and a
little creativity.
