By Karen Watkins

It is hard to decide on a present for a who is also a new mother as well as the bundle of joy. But baby gift baskets could a answer to your dilemma. They are thoughtful and easy to make gifts that usually contain gifts that both the new mother and the baby can use. You can find these kinds of baskets already made or you could decide to making them yourself. Whichever option you choose, there are several gifts available at retailers.

Good Baby Gift Baskets for Diaper Care

One of the most useful and most well-received new baby gift baskets is a diaper care basket. Inside, mom will find diapers, wipes, a wipe warmer, diaper rash ointment, powder, and more. Some add-on gifts that go well with this type of basket include a diaper disposal and a diaper carrier. Find out before hand if mom will be using disposable or cloth diapers - and throw in some diaper pins with the cloth diapers if needed. If you can't find a tactful way to figure out which she intends to use, simply skip the diapers altogether.

New Baby Gift Baskets with Items for Bathing

No time is more bonding than bath time with baby. A new baby gift basket that includes soft terry wash clothes, a hooded towel, baby bath wash, baby oil, cotton swaps, cotton swabs, and baby lotion. Bath products scented with lavender can help calm both baby and mom for a nice nap after the bath is finished.

New Baby Gift Baskets with Feeding

Even if the new mom is breast feeding, she will probably use bottles every once in a while to supplement the baby's nutrition. A baby gift basket of nipples, a bottle warmer, and a bottle brush is an attractive gift that will be appreciated. You can also include a selection of various pacifiers for baby to use.

New Baby Gift Baskets to Store Precious Memories

Each new mom wants to hold onto the memories of the first year and beyond as best she can. A new baby gift basket filled with scrapbook supplies related to the new baby is an ideal way to encourage this activity. Giving more presents to assist with the scrapbook process such as glue and film is also a great idea. For assistance, also give her a gift card to get film and other supplies. - 31371
