If you are getting ready to go to a baby shower or even just know a woman about to have a baby girl, you may be interested in finding a unique gift for the expectant mother. Instead of simply going to the registry and picking something to purchase, why not try to put together a baby girl gift basket? There are hundreds of things that you could put in a baby girl gift basket, and the ideas are endless. So before you go out and buy something just to buy something, put together a baby shower gift basket that will really wow the expectant mother!
Baby Girl Basics
The first things that you can include in your baby girl gift basket are the basics. Any baby, be it a boy or a girl, will need certain things. You can include one piece outfits, bibs, bottles, bottle cleaners, receiving blankets, cute outfits, pacifiers, crib sheets, diapers, wipes, swaddling blankets, and any other baby essential. While these items are important for a mother, your baby girl gift basket will hardly be unique if you only include the generic basics.
Making It Interesting
One way to make your baby girl gift basket interesting is to pick a theme. You can choose a theme like feeding or bath time and put everything the expectant mom will need in the baby girl gift basket. For feeding, you need to know whether she is breastfeeding or bottle feeding as each has uniquely different gifts that would go along with it. A breastfeeding mother will need nipple cream, breast pads, and nursing accessories. A formula feeding mother will need bottles, formula coupons or gift certificates, and bottle cleaning utensils. For bath time, you can include soap, shampoo, washcloths, a cute pink bathrobe with booties, and lotion. You could also include bath toys for when the baby is older, and even a bath toy holder. If you choose to do a bath time theme for your baby girl gift basket, make sure that you only purchase hypoallergenic or sensitive skin washes and lotions just in case the baby has allergies or sensitive skin.
Pink, Pink, Pink!
When making a baby girl gift basket, the way to go is pink! Most babies look neither distinctively male nor female when they are first born, and parents do not want strangers guessing the babys sex. Because of this, they put headbands and bows on girls and blue on boys. You will not go wrong if you include some head bands, hair bows or clips, and pink clothing in your baby girl gift basket!
