Baby Gift Baskets
A baby on the way is one of the most wonderful pleasures of life and it's a time to shower expectant mothers with wonderful baby gifts. Surprise an expectant mother with a gift basket full of goodies. Just grab a wicker basket from World Market ($4 - $12) and fill it with several baby items. Here's a list of ideas to fill the basket with that are necessities to new mothers and their babies:

• newborn-sized bodysuits (a.k.a. onsies), they make great undershirts perfect for layering
• small pack of newborn diapers (Pampers are quite frangrancy, Huggies have no fragrance, Luvs has some fragrance)
• travel size bottle of baby powder
• tube of A+E ointment to treat diaper rash
• receiving blankets (2)
• swaddling blankets
• extra crib sheets
• small soft toys
• luxurious hand creams for moms (breastfeeding moms will get dry skin fast)
• a water bottle for mom
• extra baby hats (you can never have too little)
• tiny socks
• burp cloths (2)

If you don't have time to craft a basket, here are some you can buy pre-assembled:
