When the arrival of a new baby comes, excitement is in the air. As a family member, friend or colleague, you want to express your happiness and joy with the new parents by purchasing a gift. Yet, when you look online for baby gifts, it can be very overwhelming! How do you begin to select that perfect baby gift? Here are a few guidelines to follow that will make the process simple and stress free:

1. Look for a gift that’s original. A picture is worth a thousand words, yet not when that same picture is on a thousand other websites! Most baby gift businesses use the same suppliers for their gifts and if you’re selecting their gift basket to send, the parents may receive that same gift from someone else.
2. Stay away from the “newborn” sizes. Sure the outfits are so cute and adorable, but babies grow at warp speed and sometimes mom can’t get to all the adorable outfits before her little one has graduated to the next size. It is best to send any layette items in a larger size.
3. Select a gift that is filled with useful items for the new mom. Layette items are very useful, but so are the items mom will reach for again and again, like burp cloths, wipes, hooded towels and blankets. Check that the gift has a variety of these types of items.
4. Keepsakes for sure! When baby grows, milestones will be reached then passed. Giving a keepsake gift will allow mom to capture these precious memories. Best items are footprint/handprint kits, frames to hold first smiles and giggles, containers to store favorite outfits or collectables.
5. Personalized baby gifts are a hit with any new mom. These gifts can include items such as embroidered bibs, blankets, onesies, hats and even radio flyer wagons! Many baby gifts can be personalized for a minimal cost. It is worth the upgrade.
6. Plush toys are a MUST. Teddy bears are #1, yet any soft fluffy animal will be loved and snuggled. Some plush toys have music, rattles and even heartbeat sounds that will delight and soothe baby. After all, baby’s first best friend should be a cuddly one, right?

Perhaps you want to make this gift yourself, the above guidelines will offer excellent ideas, yet there are many other gift necessities baby needs that are not always offered when you purchase a baby gift basket online. Here is a list of those necessities you should keep in mind when shopping for the baby gift basket you design:

• Shampoo and Body Wash
• Powder and Baby Lotions
• Baby Toys (Rattles, Key Rings, Teethers)
• Washcloths and Hooded Towels
• Socks, Booties, Caps and Scratch Mitts

So whether you decide to shop online or create a baby gift basket yourself, these guidelines will help you make an excellent choice when selecting that perfect baby gift for that perfect baby!
