Organic Gift Basket for New Baby

An organic gift basket for new baby is a thoughtful baby shower present, especially for a mother that’s concerned about her baby’s exposure to chemicals or her impact on the planet. The person who wishes to give such a gift has two options: buy a basket pre-made or assemble one by purchasing appropriate products. Assembling a basket is often less expensive and the contents can be specifically catered to the mother’s need.

There are literally hundreds of different organic baby products on the market today, which can leave a person assembling a basket at a loss of where to start. Here are some ideas of things to include:

• Organic cotton one-piece bodysuits – These garments, also known as onesies, are something most any mother would appreciate they pull on over the head and unsnap at the legs to make for easy diaper changes. They’re often sold in three packs.
• Organic cotton plush toys – Every baby needs a friend to cuddle with. Get one that matches the baby’s room décor.
• Organic cotton cloth diapers – It’s a good idea to get diapers in a size larger than newborn so that the mother will have some ready as the baby grows.
• Organic cotton bibs – It’s common for a baby to spit up and make a mess when eating. These are an eco-friendly way to make cleanup easier.
• Organic cotton burp cloths – These cloths keep mom’s shoulder clean when she burps her child after feedings.
• Organic cotton washcloths – Baby washcloths are designed to be smaller and gentler than adult washcloths, making it safer and easier to cleanse the baby’s skin. They can also be used as wipes.
• Eco-friendly personal care products – Both baby and mom will benefit from organic lotions, powders, ointments and bath supplies.

With the products assembled all a person has to do is buy a wicker basket at the local crafts store. It’s also acceptable to use a gift bag or a baby product, such as a baby bathtub or diaper pail, as the container. A bow and a gift card make for a nice finishing touch.

Those who would rather purchase a pre-made organic gift basket for new baby have a lot of choices. There are dozens of places to buy them online. A few of them are:

• Stork Baby Gift Baskets – This site sells nine different organic baby gift baskets, plus diaper cakes by prominent eco-friendly brands, such as Burt’s Bees.
• Amazon – This site has lots of different gift baskets to choose from, including ones that resemble boxes of cupcakes and bouquets of flowers. One good one is a basket of clothing made with fair trade organic Egyptian cotton.
• Baby Gift Station – This site sells a gift basket where the basket is the prominent feature. It’s made by the Karen Hill Tribe in Burma. It contains an assortment of organic bath and body products, plus a copy of Goodnight Moon.
• Earth Mama Angel Baby – This site sells a gift basket designed to help a mother put her baby to bed. It contains skin soothing bath products and a CD meant to lull the baby to sleep.

It’s good to ask the expecting mother what she needs before ordering or putting together a gift basket. She may already have a dozen blankets and not wish to get any more. One problem with ordering a pre-assembled basket is that there’s no choice as to what’s inside it, so it’s likely some items will be better received than others. A good middle ground option is to use a merchant that allows basket customization, where the purchaser can pick products from a menu of items.
