If a close friend is about to give birth and you are thinking about what gift to buy for the baby shower, we have the perfect solution. While it is possible to buy a baby hamper or basket that contains essentials for both baby and mum, it is much better if you buy a wicker basket and create the hamper yourself. You might be thinking it will take a shopping day to source all the items you need, but with online solutions, you can get everything you need from a single e-store.
- The Basket – The traditional wicker basket with the half-circle handle is ideal and regarding size, work out what items you are using and this will give you an idea of basket size. Basket filling could be straw or coloured paper that is finely cut into thin strips, with a layer that the gifts will sit upon. Blue or pink paper really makes it relevant, and you can include a few artificial flower heads for good measure, and either pink of blue ribbon to finish things off.
- The Gifts – For a wide range of unique baby gifts, visit CMC Gold here and browse their great selection, and when your shopping cart is full, proceed to checkout. The supplier does personalised gifts, which is great if you know the baby’s name, and you might wish to theme the gifts to bedtime or bath-time, or a selection of varied items that mum desperately needs like skin lotions and baby powder. You could add unique little items such as a dummy-clip, which is mega handy, a Pom-Pom beanie to keep baby’s head warm, or a floral swaddle set to keep junior snug. It is always best to keep the babies safe, here are some safety tips to consider. Here are some of the best gifts for baby shower to consider.
- Arranging the Basket – Think of it as arranging a bouquet of flowers, and experiment with placement until you have the right layout. Having one side of the basket raised, displays the contents in a tiered fashion and looking from one side, the entire contents is in view. You might wish to cover the contents with cling film, which will protect from dust, and finally, wrap ribbon around the entire handle section and you have the perfect baby shower gift basket that is custom made.
The great thing about online shopping is you can take your time; you might visit the site and select a few items, and they will remain in your shopping cart the next time you login, so you can shop a little at a time. Once you think you have everything, a secure online payment will see the items packaged and shipped to your home address, and allow enough time for actually arranging the basket, which should be a labour of love and not rushed.
