The choice for a baby or an infant gift can be a difficult one. One of the best baby or infant gifts that you can give is a gift basket. A gift basket is that one present that comes in many shapes, themes and of course price ranges. A gift basket is lovely gift to for a baby shower.

The diversity of gift baskets is never-ending. For a baby or newborn you can give a diaper gift basket or a baby necessities gift basket. If you'd prefer there is a baby bath time basket or an everlasting baby time capsule basket. In fact the list is endless.

Here is a simple basket that you can easily create yourself:

For the Gift Basket use a Baby Bath or try a Bucket. Then fill it with the following;

A ton of baby product coupons;

A Rubber Duck;

Bottles of lotion and baby oil;

Small toy books for baby;

Teething ring;

A few bottles;

2 pacifiers;

A few sturdy bibs;

A few sleepers;

A receiving blanket;

To add a little extra you could put together for mom:

Lotions;

Bath salts;

Pretty soaps;

Candles;

A few books;

Coupon holder with coupons in it. (Moms love these! ; )

Or try a small basket of:

Baby oil;

Baby bath wash;

A washcloth;

A rubber Duck;

Baby powder;

and baby lotion.

For Mom a picture frame, a disposable camera to record the event, a record book, photo album, along with a voucher for photo finishing.

When you are finished, wrap the Gift Basket with cellophane paper and a nice ribbon to give it a finishing touch. Tie a gift tag with a message for that added touch and include a pair of booties.
