Affordable Baby Gift Basket Ideas
| Baby Feet Basket: footprint kit (ink pad, paper, frame), socks, shoes, baby footprint poem |
 Baby Sock Roses Bouquet: Turn a few pairs of baby socks into this gorgeous and very affordable baby gift basket. Free tutorial and instructions here. |
| Baby Spa: towel or robe, nail clippers, travel sized lotion and baby wash, washcloths, tiny bottle of nail polish for toes, and cut out tiny toe spreaders out of the thicker craft foam. How cute! |
| Read To Me: favorite board books or Golden Books, book plates, small lamp or night light. Audio tape or CD of you reading that special book to baby. |
| One of a Kind Personalized basket: passie clip, monogrammed burp cloths, sleeping sign w/ name on other side, framed name meaning. |
 Cloth Diaper
Baby:
bottle for wipes spray, recipes for wipes solution, washcloths, natural
baby soap, lavender diaper sachet, changing pad. Go funky and fun with
your colors, or more organic with a natural toned
basket, green raffia and maybe a little soft lamb stuffed animal. |
| Designer On the Go Set: Custom covered wipes box and coordinating ribbon trimmed burp cloths, custom passie clip. You may want to skip the basket and present this in a little button-on or tie-on stroller bag made of coordinating fabric. |
| Healthy Snack Basket: Healthy snacks for Mom and Dad like fruit, non-caffeinated drinks in bottles or cans, baked goods (such as muffins, banana bread, etc.) Pack into a wicker basket lined with a checkered paper napkin or some pretty tissue, and tuck in some silk flowers, or even a bud vase with a real flower or two for their picnic. |
| Big Brother/Big Sister Fun Basket: Include snacks, juice boxes, and little to-do project and games that the kids would enjoy. Dollar stores usually have plenty of little toys, games, figurines, and even craft kits to choose from. You may also want to include a puzzle, paper to write a letter to Mommy, card games, hand wipes, gum, etc. This is a great gift to take to the hospital. |
| Easter Basket: fill a small easter basket with grass, and fill plastic eggs with travel sized baby items, baby nail clippers, a passie clip, hair bows, booties or socks, etc. Top it off with a fluffy bunny or chick! |

Sweet
babe, in thy face
Soft desires I can trace,
Secret joys and secret smiles,
Little pretty infant wiles.
