As they have grown in popularity, more and more baby specific retailers have begun to offer their own versions of the baby gift basket. Most basket sets begin at around $50 while more elaborate baskets may be priced over $200. They can be readily purchased online, and those that do not require much customization can be shipped quickly to ensure on time arrival. Since they require no wrapping or packaging, they may be sent directly to the recipient’s house with an included gift message (most retailers offer this service) and gift givers will need to expend no more effort than placing the order.

A baby shower gift basket may be customized with items named in the registry, such as baby bibs, newborn baby clothes, a baby blanket and diapers. Most retailers carry baskets with similar contents in a variety of colors to match the taste of the mother or the gender of the baby if it is known ahead of time. In addition to the contents for the baby, the mother will get to reuse the included basket, so keep this in mind when choosing the size and style of container in which the items will be packaged.  A Moses basket or bassinet can be used as the container, so the present doubles in usefulness!  Moses baskets are really quite perfect for the situation in this respect.  If you are throwing an office shower, or are considering a family gift one of the larger baby shower gift baskets are a great way to pass along well-wishes from a group.

One of the more unique styles that work well for new baby gift baskets, particularly baby girl gift baskets, are those designed to resemble flower arrangements. These baby gift baskets feature colorful onesies, baby booties, baby blankets, nursery bedding, or burp cloths rolled to look like roses. Often, there are arranged with plastic greens in a metal pail or vase that may be reused. These gifts are sure to be proudly displayed in the home of the expectant mother long before the baby arrives. There are a few sites that sell these arrangements, and they are available in a number of sizes and at a number of price points.

If a boy is on the way, a baby boy gift basket will provide him with everything he needs. Blue is, of course, the traditional color for baby boy bedding and other gifts, and there are many baskets that make prominent use of the color. In addition to clothing, a new baby gift basket may be purchased that contains stuffed toys, sports memorabilia or firemen themes, just to name a few. For families that are rabid fans of a sports franchise, give their child an early start with baby crib bedding that reflect their fandom.  You may also consider purchasing a basket themed with a cartoon character.  A very popular one is Winnie the Pooh baby themed baskets.
