Having a baby is an exciting time and can also be overwhelming. New moms turn to friends and family for advice on must-have items for their new bundle of joy’s nursery. My best friend is due with her first son in 2 months and I’ve collected my favorite items for her baby shower gift basket.
Let’s face it – the first few months of a baby life consist of a lot of eating and diaper changes. Stinky diapers at that! Yea, those are not fun surprises. How can something that cute make something so stinky? My savior was a Diaper Genie – it has an air-tite disposal system that keeps your nursery odor-free. It’s no surprise that a Diaper Genie and refills are first on my must-have list.
Baby Shower Gift Basket Ideas:
- Diaper Genie & Diaper Genie refills
- Diapers
- Wipes
- Baby blankets
- Bottles
- A cute plush toy
You will be surprised how quickly those little ones go through a package of diapers, so more is better! Wipes are a necessity for keeping little ones bum cleaned. I found when changing my little guys diaper they squirmed quite a bit. Giving them an age appropriate toy like a soft plush or rattle kept them occupied during those diaper changes. Plus they add a little fun to the basket, along with a colorful baby blanket. Lastly bottles are important – even if mom plans to nurse. Sometimes she wants to take a break (and she deserves it) so dad can step in for some bonding time with a bottle of pumped breast milk or formula.

What items would you include in a baby shower gift basket?

I love that you get a Spafinder gift card with the purchase. What new mom couldn’t use that, you know?
Jennifer H says
Exactly! 🙂

I didn’t know Diaper Genies were still around! It was on my wish list 18 years ago when our daughter was born, and my sister-in-law got us one. One of the best gifts I received!

Wish I’d had these 40 years ago when I could have used them.

I would include a gift card to Starbucks to any new mommy 😉
Jennifer H says
That’s a good idea!
Shop with Me Mama (Kim) says
Very cute idea! I would probably include the diapers, pacifiers, bottles and something for mom!
Rachel @ Third Stop on the Right says
That is a super cute idea! One of my favorite things to give as a gift that most people don’t think of is some Gerber pre fold cloth diapers. Even if you aren’t into cloth diapering, they make the absolute best burp cloths!
Jennifer H says
Oh I loved using those as burp cloths, they caught a lot more spit up.
