Whether you’re attending a baby shower or simply looking to give a nice gift to an expecting mother that you know of, a baby gift basket would make a wonderful choice. Baby gift baskets have been around for a long time, and while their prices, patterns and colors may differ as trends come and go, generally the contents the remain the same. A baby gift basket should provide an expecting mother with a few essentials and goodies to help her take care of her baby.

What does a typical baby gift basket look like? Well, this lovely gift basket for a baby boy from babystuffgifts.com is a perfect example:

This basket shows layettes and washcloths and such as its contents, but really, anything that would be useful for a baby and able to fit in a basket would certainly qualify! Here are some great ideas for items to put inside baby gift baskets:

• baby bottles
• pacifiers
• diaper cakes
• receiving blankets
• soft, hand-held toys for the baby to hold
• breastfeeding essentials for the new mama
• childrens clothes for older siblings

Once you have the items picked out, the only thing left to do is purchase a large wicker basket, and line it with some soft, baby-themed fabric and/or tissue paper and/or cellophane. Then, throw everything together and make it presentable!
