Bath-time babyBath time can be a pricey adventure for baby, what with all the necessary bubbles and lotions, and a bath-time basket is a thoughtful and practical gift. Start by purchasing the bath soaps, shampoos and lotions. Add accessories like a bath towel (add the baby's name for a special touch), a wash cloth and rubber ducky. Throw in an after-powder, and put it all in a pink or blue basket for the total bath-time experience. -
Baby meal timeDon't limit yourself to newborn gifts when shopping for a baby shower, but branch out a bit into things the baby may need as they grow as well. A meal-time gift basket has some range. Shop for a few baby bottles and spoons for baby food. Add a few bibs (they go through them quickly) and even a couple of baby plates. Fill in the basket with jars of baby food to help fill the pantry when the time comes. For a special treat, add something in there for Mom as well, like special gourmet chocolates or her favorite cookies. -
Mom and baby pictureA Mommy and Me basket should include a few things for baby and Mommy to do together. Include a few picture books for Junior and a couple of romance novels for Mom. Shop for matching T-shirts for baby and Mom, which you can find at most baby clothing stores and maternity departments. Complete the basket with a personalized picture frame that says "Mommy and Me," to be filled in later with a photo of the twosome. -
Baby on the beachPerfect for a summer baby or a baby who will live near a beach or waterfront, a Day at the Beach gift basket will include everything baby needs for a happy day in the sun. Purchase a cute summer outfit for baby including sunglasses and a hat, as well as sunscreen especially made for infants. Get summer-themed baby toys like a summer-themed pacifier, a dolphin stuffed animal and a nice cozy sun motif towel for baby to lay on while relaxing on the beach. Place all the objects in a picnic basket for a fun presentation.
