On children's birthdays, universal gifts prevail. Toys, some blankets and some clothes. Why not spice up your new mom and baby gift with a beautiful basket for baby gifts.

Steps

1. 1 Decide on a theme and color scheme. If you know the gender of your baby, then this step will be easy. Pink and purple are for girls, and blue and red are for boys. If gender is unknown, use neutral colors, yellow, green, orange and brown. Whatever color you choose, it should be pastel and light. Pick a baby theme for your basket. These are standard themes: animals, polka dots, stripes, multicolored greensbon / plaid, flowers, butterflies, circus, etc.
2. 2 Pick up your basket. You need to choose something smooth and soft in case the mother decides to use the basket inside the house or the child has direct contact with it. Cloth and plush can be found at any craft store or baby store, but you can also opt for a softwood basket. Traditional wicker baskets can be sold in lacquered and softer woods. Just run your hand over the material to check for chips.
3. 3 Gather the required materials. Find thick tape, soap or wooden letters, bows, cards or tags, plastic wrap, and something to fill the bottom of the basket with. Make sure the materials are non-toxic or edible, and avoid small parts that could break and harm your baby.
4. 4 Decorate and fill your basket. It's time to get started! Place the basket on thin paper so that the corners come up to the edge. One of the best fillers is a soft plush blanket. This is a wonderful gift that babies love very much. Thanks to it, you will be relieved of the need to use paper or plastic filling. Wrap a wide ribbon around the handle and attach the bows at the base or on the basket itself. Add a card with wishes. You can use wooden letters or foam to write the baby's name on the front of the basket. Fill the basket completely with the gifts you bought.
5. 5 Wrap the whole basket. Finally, wrap the basket with the contents in clear or colored plastic wrap. Place the gift on a square of film, grab the four corners and lift them above the handle. Squeeze with one hand and tie with a ribbon bow. In this case, the remnants of the film will stick out above it.
6. 6 Here are some suggestions for items you can fill your shopping cart with:
   • Soft baby blanket.
   • One-size-fits-all baby clothes (if size is unknown).
   • Gift certificates from the stores "Mother and Child"
   • Little toys
   • Stuffed Toys
   • Diaper bag
   • Bottles and other feeding items
   • Powder, lotion and bath products for babies

Tips

• Consider adding a small present for your mother or a separate present for her if you are not carrying food or drinks to the celebration. Remember, she worked hard too.
• If the basket is wrapped entirely, it is not necessary to pack each item inside separately.

Warnings

• Check the spelling of the child's name and gender carefully. Feel free to double check a few times. If gender and name remain unknown, stick to a neutral color scheme.
• Make sure all materials used are non-toxic and safe for your baby. Read labels and shop from proven campaigns.If you have any doubts about the quality of the product, then trust your intuition and buy something else.
• Do not put flavored foods in the basket. They look cute, but they can irritate your baby's sensitive skin.
