What to Avoid When Assembling a Baby Gift Basket
When it comes to assembling a gift basket for a newborn baby or growing infant, there are some general rules of thumb to follow. Some items can be harmful to the baby.
Things to Avoid Adding to Your Baby Gift Basket
Although you mean well, there are some items that are not such a good idea to add to a baby gift basket. Here are some things you should avoid including:
- Be careful about putting toys in your baby gift basket, especially if they have small parts that can be a choking hazard. If you add toys, make sure that you’ve checked the label to see the recommended age for the product.
- Food and formulas are not a good idea since the parents may have their own preferences as to what they want to feed their newborn.
- Soaps, lotions, shampoos or ointments might trigger allergies. Babies often have skin sensitivities.
The Good Stuff
Standard items that you know the new parents will be able to use are always good to add to a baby gift basket. Here are some ideas:
- Diapers and wipes are an excellent addition to any new baby gift basket. They will be used and appreciated — guaranteed!
- Pacifiers are always a good safe bet for your gift basket.
- A nice gift is a two-way monitor so mom and dad don’t need to worry about the baby when they are trying to get things done.
Baby gift baskets are a wonderful idea and will be appreciated! Just make sure that you consider the new baby’s health and well being.
