How to Create a Baby Care Nursery Gift Basket

By Randy Jodoin

As Mom and Dad prepare for their new addition to the family, a baby care nursery becomes an important part of the process. While the overall look of this special room is significant - the accessories and supplies that go into taking care of the new baby become the most essential. This is why a gift basket for a baby care nursery makes the perfect gesture for new parents. Not only do you get a chance to celebrate this remarkable milestone, but also help parents stock up on much-needed baby provisions.

A few recommendations include:

1) Creative Basket

Add creativity to your gift basket by choosing a container that strays from the norm. A couple of suggestions include a metal tub, wicker cradle, baby bathtub, or a decorative diaper pail bucket.

2) Cloth Diapers

Nowadays, more parents prefer the look and feel of a cloth diaper to a disposable selection. Regular unfolded cloth diapers also make great burping cloths. Some diapers made out of cloth also come prefolded with Velcro in an array of prints, colors, and designs. Popular brands on the market include Bumkins, Kissaluvs, Wickeez, and Fuzzi Bunz, which come in a wide-range of shades like periwinkle, orange, lavender, sage, and bubblegum.

3) Changing Pads

A baby care nursery changing table is generally lined with a padding to protect a newborn. Changing pads now come in various shapes, sizes, and colors.

4) Personalized Baby Blankets

To add a keepsake that could follow baby around until it becomes a tattered rag, consider a personalized baby blanket for your baby care nursery gift basket. While traditional colors of blue, pink, and yellow are quite common, an increasing amount of people is discovering the uniqueness of customized baby blankets that carry the same allure as fashion statements.

Is Dad a NASCAR fan? Does Mom love gardening or paint as a hobby? These are just some ideas to consider when choosing an item for the baby care nursery gift basket that will satisfy both parents and child. Personalized baby quilts also make thoughtful presents.

5) Baby Mobile

Boost the imagination and budding mind of a newborn by supplying a colorful or mentally stimulating baby mobile to hang over the crib during naptime and bedtime.

6) Clothing

A new parent can never get enough sleepers, socks, or one-piece outfits for their baby care nursery.

7) Baby Care Supplies

Every parent knows just how important an ample supply of baby oil and lotion, diaper rash ointment, petroleum jelly, and baby wipes can come in handy.

8) Additional Baby Care Nursery Ideas

When looking for items to fill a gift basket for new parents and their baby, the following suggestions are always true winners: bibs, teething rings, baby spoons, pacifiers, receiving blankets, and soft toys.
