How to make a baby gift basket

An option to buying a baby gift basket is to put together your own. Here's how:

1. First choose a suitable container. This can of course be a wicker basket but might also be a gift box, a mailing box, a storage box, a baby's bath tub or a tote bag.

2. Then if needed line your chosen container with a receiving blanket, soft towel, fabric or tissue paper.

3. Next fill with little baby necessities plus a small soft toy, rubber ducky or keepsake. Alternatively fill with a selection of delicious gourmet food just for mommy and daddy.

4. Then, if you know that baby is a boy or a girl, if liked tie ribbons and bows of pink or blue to the handles of your chosen container. Alternatively choose ribbons of lemon, mint green, white or lavender, or a rainbow of colored ribbons. A helium balloon also makes a nice decoration.

5. Another suggestion is to wrap your filled 'basket' in cellophane. Then to close with a twist tie, ribbon and bow.
