Giving Creative And Useful Baby Shower Gift Baskets
Gift baskets are filled with items that are usually oriented around a theme. If you know the baby will be a girl, you can put lots of pink socks and pretty hats in the basket; if the baby will be a boy, include plenty of blue items. You can create a nautical theme basket, a basket with religiously-oriented items, or a basket that's full of natural skin care products for the baby. Natural baby products are those produced without any artificial chemical ingredients; there's no artificial fragrances, colors, preservatives, or fillers included. Natural products are favored by parents because they feel comfortable with using these products in a home with a new baby. It's no longer a challenge to find lots of organic baby food, natural toys, and natural skin care products intended just for a baby's delicate skin.
Parents require lots of items to care for their babies so it's easy to come up with useful items to place in your baby shower gift basket. Look for lotion, diaper cream, shampoo and body wash, soap, and baby powder that are all natural. Once you have found all the natural skin care products on your list, wrap each item in a folded onesie. Tuck a blanket into a basket and arrange it in an attractive manner. Place the bundles in the basket amidst the folds of the blanket. If the contents are a little sparse, there are lots of other items that can be placed in a natural gift basket.
Organic cotton clothing has been produced from plants grown to the standard set for organic food by the USDA. This standard outlines strict agricultural practices intended to maintain the organic integrity of the crops grown. If an item of cotton clothing is labeled organic, you can feel confident of its quality. Organic cotton baby clothes are very soft, perfect for wrapping a little newborn in. Choose some nice organic cotton socks, knit hats, onesies, and towels.
If organic products are of interest to the mother, consider adding a baby food cookbook to the gift basket. Baby food doesn't have to be purchased from the grocery store; it's easy to make at home using all natural, organic ingredients. Even though the mother may not need this book for several months, it will be a nice way for her to plan ahead.
