We used to say “New
Baby”. Then we realized ALL babies are new! Proud new parents run into
practical difficulties once the bundle comes home (Hey Doctor! What
time shall we wake the little gaffer in the morning?).
We jamb pack baby baskets with lots of practical help for Mom,
Dad and the newborn. For baby, we can include items like rattles,
teethers, sleepers, socks, bottles, baby soap, receiving blankets,
bath toys, change pads, lotions, 1st word books, baby CDs, wet
wipes, bibs, wash cloths, and sippy cups. A plush toy is just about
a must. A picture frame is a permanent
keepsake. If there are siblings in the home, a gift for them can be
included so they feel a part of the action too. For Mom or Dad, some
soothing herbal tea, a gourmet coffee, pamper items, cheese,
crackers and other items are thoughtful.
Baby baskets are always bright and cheerful. We add colourful
decoration inside and can pack the items in a blue, pink, or if you
don't know (yet), yellow. They are wrapped in our best hygienic cello
topped off with a bow or balloon. It's sure to add to the joy in a
practical way that shows your thoughtfulness. We always tell our
delivery people to skip the doorbell and knock.
