Practical Baby Gift Baskets
While
everyone loves looking at that darling picture frame, hand-crocheted
blanket, or monogrammed towel, practical gifts and gift baskets
are necessary items when new parents are trying to prepare for the
arrival of their precious infant. Remember, whatever they don't
receive as a gift will still have to be purchased, so don't worry
if the gift you choose to give is perceived as practical. Practical
is also necessary! Practical baby gift baskets may include the following:
1. Diapers (If you aren't sure of the size, purchase a couple of
different sized packages and place the receipt along with your purchase
in case they need to be returned.
2. Wipes (The parents of a baby can really never have too many
wipes on hand. These will be used even when the baby has become
an active toddler!)
3. Toiletry items (You could give a gift box or basket full of
such items as baby shampoo, baby wash, diaper ointment, nail clippers,
brush, etc.)
4. Burp cloths (Sure, you may notice that the new baby receives
quite a few lovely embroidered burp cloths, but do you really think
those will be used? Babies spit up a lot! Go ahead and purchase
a package of burp cloths to give! They'll be appreciated!)
5. Hooded bath towels and wash cloths (You can often find sets
of bath towels and wash cloths, along with a cute tub toy to boot!)
6. Laundry essentials (Babies go through several changes of clothes
every day. That's a lot of laundry! Purchasing baby detergent along
with a baby spot remover is a great idea for a gift!)
7. Baby blankets (These can be small receiving blankets or larger
thermal blankets. They come in lots of colors, textures, and sizes.)
