When attending a baby shower, deciding what gift to give is always a bit of a struggle. You want to make sure that it is something that they need but something unique as well; you want to pick out something they will love and use for their new baby.
When it comes to babies, there are a certain number of things that you just can’t have enough of. Babies need a lot of diapers, bibs, towels, blankets, and clothes - they grow so quickly that clothes in an assortment of sizes are better than all infant sizes. This way they do not have to go out and buy all new cloths each time the baby grows out of one size.
A great idea is to take a basket and fill it with all of the absolute essentials. Make sure they have everything that they will need, even if its more than they think. Baby outfits in a bunch of sizes, next to diapers in infant and the next size up and lots of towels for burping because they need enough to last until laundry day. If you make a cute basket out of all of those things, then they will have some great options for the baby and an excuse to push back washing a ton of the little one's clothes.
Another cute idea is that instead of using an actual basket you use a bassinet. You can fit everything in there and you have more than one thing they need taken care of. It will be a cute surprise when they open it and find all of the extras inside. This is a really cute way to make a gift basket.
Another way to go is to use a diaper bag. Even if they already have one there is likely to be a time when something spills on or in it and they need another. Having options is always better than being stuck with just one of everything. You can put all of your gifts inside it and watch the gratitude on their faces as their eyes light up when they open it to find all of the clothes and items that you put in it.
For baby showers a gift basket is a good idea because they need such a variety of things and just so much of it. Rather than giving one baby outfit that you know they will love, you can give them more of the things that they will need. Making it into a gift basket instead of just putting it all in a gift bag makes the arrangement look so well put together. When people see a well arranged gift basket wrapped in plastic and tied up with a ribbon they really feel all of the thought that went into it.
These ideas are such a sweet and cute little surprise for them to discover. Not only will they be grateful for the bassinet or diaper bag but being able to open it and discover that you really went the extra mile will make them feel like you really care. Making them happy is your goal. This is a great way to get that.
