Personalized Gift Baskets – How To Make Your Own For A Baby Shower
It is a wonderful gesture to personalize a baby’s gift. It makes the gift distinct, different, special and often times cherished by the parents and the child themselves as they get older.
Yet, many people are still unsure of the child’s name and no doubt the child’s birthdate. One option is to give a gift certificate along with the gift to be personalized for either an engraving or etching design. After the big day arrives and things have relaxed a bit, they can take the certificate and get it finally done.
What Can Be Engraved?
Listed below are some things that can be engraved:
- Cups
- Picture Frames
- Jewelry
- Cutlery Set
- Books
An wonderful gift that can be embroidered with the baby’s name with his or her name meaning is a blanket. Remember Linus in the Peanuts cartoon? He had a blanket he loved since he was a baby. No doubt this gift would do the same for the baby as he got older.
Baby Gift Basket – Done Right Out of Love
There is no doubt that gift baskets are very popular in this age. There are several ways a gift basket can be done. Either purchased ready-made or made to order or one where you do the work by yourself. You will place all the necessary items you think the baby would need.
How to Make a Gift Basket
There are eight things to consider when making a baby gift basket by yourself.
- Be sure you know the size of the basket you want to use. A large basket might seem to pick and too little of one and there isn’t enough room, so a medium sized basket will do and is highly recommended. Many craft stores like Hobby Lobby sells baskets in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Things that make great fillers for the bottom are raffia and shredded tissue paper like paper towels. Laying the baby towels and blankets in top of these can make it look inconspicuous.
- Should you choose the large basket, be sure to get large items such as crib comforters, a stuffed toy, pillows and baby crib bumpers.
- Baby’s gender should be taken into consideration when putting together a gift basket. The first baby will need many items. Should the mother have a gift registry, using that as a guide can help fill your basket up. If there is none set up, ask the mother directly on what else she needs for the baby.
- Use a theme. If you know the sex, you can load it with everything pink or blue. Or you can have it as a Winnie the Pooh basket or even a Cars design. Perhaps a bedtime basket filled with plenty of bedtime story books, a music CD, blankets, pajamas; so on and so forth. Be creative when you let your imagination go.
- Instead of using a basket for the gift “basket” use a small laundry basket, trunk and a diaper bag. Even a baby tub will work especially if the mother does not have one yet.
- Baby tubs can also be filled with towels, shampoo and soaps as well as lotions and oils. Do not forget the all important baby powder.
- A trunk can be used to fill it with the baby’s keepsake items whether they are books, heirlooms, receiving blankets and monogrammed outfits or other items.
- A laundry basket could filled with baby slippers, diapers, combs, brushes, booties and clothes.
All these items are things a mother will use eventually. Let your imagination go wild and see what becomes of your gift basket.
