Baby Shower Basket: How to Make a Theme Based Gift Basket for the Baby

By Qing Gu

If you are a creative type, you can make a baby shower basket on your own.

Start with anything hollow, like a baby bathtub, a toy bucket, or a diaper bag. Next you'll want to find a collection of little items to put into it, such as baby bathtime things, lotion, diaper cream and baby toys.

Or just purchase an inexpensive-and-nice basket from Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, or your local super market. Then fill it with items like baby powder, sleepers, bottles, teething ring, pacifiers, washcloths, bibs and so on.

Since a wonderful baby shower decoration is all about planning around a theme, so are your baby shower gift baskets.

For example, an Easter Parade Basket for an easter bunny baby shower.

Or you can decorate in gold, silver and navy and fill a star-shaped basket with baby items, small gifts, flowers, or just about anything you can think of for a cute centerpiece for a Hollywood Theme Baby Shower.

For an Old MacDonald theme party, you can decorate with plenty of straw baskets and red-and-white checkered table linens.

And if you're throwing a baby shower in September (the Baby Safety Month), create a gift basket for the new parents full of unwrapped safety items like: cabinet locks, outlet covers, corner and edge bumpers, refrigerator locks, toilet locks, door knob covers, floating yellow duck bathtub thermometer, door stops and door holders.

If you decide to throw a baby shower with the garden theme, flower arrangement is also a very nice idea.

You can welcome the new addition to the family with a cuddly teddy bear. Then tie yellow and light blue latex balloons with sweet-faced bear arrives with a vase of yellow mini Gerbera daisies and white Monte Casino.
