Gift baskets are always popular and a great idea to give as a gift. People love to receive gift baskets. Making your own baby gift basket is cheap and easy. You can fill them with a variety of inexpensive items and you have lots of choices.
You can easily customize each basket to your recipient. In this case the gift basket will be going to the new mom but will contain baby items.
I’ve put together a few great ideas for making newborn baby, baby or older baby gift baskets, complete with instructions on how to make them. You can make inexpensive gift baskets or expensive gift baskets depending on your budget.
You can find many inexpensive items for use in making your gift baskets or filling your gift baskets, at ‘dollar’ stores, craft stores, party stores, discount outlets, flea markets, close-out stores, etc.
For gift containers you can use: any type of basket, wicker basket, straw basket, bucket, laundry basket, plastic container, toy dump truck or other large toy truck, tin, seasonal container, large upside-down hat, or plastic storage container-put lid underneath.
For gift basket liner you can use: tissue paper, shredded paper, shredded newspaper, tea towels, dish towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, colored towels, colored napkins, placemats, diapers, baby blankets or fabric pieces.
For gift basket filler you can use: shredded colored paper, straw, Easter basket grass, crumpled newspaper comics, a bed of wrapped chocolates or other wrapped candy.
For items in the container it’ll depend on the specialty or theme of the gift basket– here is a small random sampling to give you a few good ideas:
a small book, inspirational book, baby bath and body products, stuffed animals, toys, receiving blanket, baby rattles, baby powder, baby shampoo, baby bath wash, hooded towels, baby-shower type items, age-appropriate clothes, or a baby birthday poem that you write or find.
For gift basket wrapping you can use tulle netting or I like to use cellophane wrap. You can buy it in large rolls. Look for specialty packaging outlets where you can buy it wholesale. Tie off the wrapped basket with ribbon. Wired fabric ribbon is best if you have it.
For bows: You can use pre-packaged bows but making your own bows is easy and the best if you can do it. Use a large or huge bow.
Assemble all your gift basket items, tools, etc. Now line your selected gift container. Now stuff the selected filler into the gift basket to give added height to your items.
Place, layer and arrange your selected items on the filler in the gift container. Put the larger items in the back, the smaller items in front.
Fill in the holes or prop up with more filler (shredded paper, Easter basket grass, wrapped chocolates, napkins or holiday napkins etc.)
Also you can use ‘picks’ of artificial flowers to fill in space. Place your cellophane or other wrap under the gift basket. Center the gift basket on the wrap. Bring the cellophane or other wrap over the top of the gift basket and tie it with ribbon and or a beautiful bow!
Use ribbon and bows to match your theme colors.
Tuck a card in the ribbon and that’s it!
You can find fabric or wired ribbon cheaply at Costco– especially in the fall prior to Christmas but often throughout the year in some stores. You can shred paper in a paper shredder.
If you’re going to need a lot of cellophane you can purchase it wholesale through the packaging specialty stores throughout the U.S. but should be easily found in craft stores.
General tips: Try to use non-perishable items except for fruit for fruit baskets. Use freshly packaged food items, because even packaged crackers and cookies can go stale in a couple of months. You can find filler flower ‘picks’ at garage sales for pennies.
If you buy wholesale they are usually around a dollar each. Try not to mix chocolate or other food fragrant items with non-food fragrant items in the same basket.
Also there’s nothing like learning how to make gift baskets from a video or DVD for making cheap and easy gift baskets. You can view it over and over again and share with your children, other family members and friends.
You can even charge for classes with your new-found knowledge and/or start a home based business if you so desire. In any event, making a gift basket for a newborn baby or baby is cheap and easy.

can Altoids tins set off the security alarm at the air port?
I want to make a little toy set / holder for my kids for the plane when we go on a trip in a few months but I don’t want to set off the alarms at the air port, we’ve never flown before so I don’t know if the tin would set it off.
Just leave it in your carry on luggage. You need to remove all metal from your person and put it in your carry on luggage or in specially provided trays before going through security. A tin of Altoids won’t cause you any problems at all.

Taylor’s style, which all but defines the word diffident, has more backbone than it’s often given credit for. Here, as surprisingly comp… |

Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1 [Blu-ray] $18.98 Pixar’s unprecedented string of hit animated features was built on the short films in this collection. John Lasseter and Ed Catmull used these cartoons the way Walt Disney used the “Silly Symphonies” during the 1930s: as a training ground for artists and a way to explore the potential of a new medium. Although it’s only 90 seconds long, “Luxo, Jr.” (1986) ranks as the “Steamboat Willie” of compute… |
