Start The Little One Off Right With The Organic Baby Gift Basket

Getting and staying healthy these days is all the rage.  There’s rarely a place you can go where the topic of health and eating healthy doesn’t come up.  Even in the fast food arena, companies are changing the way they’ve practiced for generations by eliminating certain products from their preparations.  An organic baby gift basket is an ideal way to stimulate a new mom into this way of thinking.  Concerned mostly with getting the diapers on right and making sure the temperature of the bath and the formula is exactly between 68 and 70 degrees, making healthy food choices starts as soon as we open our mouths.  Organic baby gift basket ensembles can be put together with ease by purchasing from your local supermarket’s health food isle or organic bath store or buy purchasing an organic baby gift basket online.

Planning a baby shower can be tedious work.  There is so much to arrange.  There are the dreaded baby shower games.  These are hated by most women; they just don’t want to admit it!  Which games to choose and where to come up with the materials for each one can take up to weeks of your time.  There’s the traditional memory game where everyone passes a tray around with up to 50 items on it and after only a few brief seconds, the tray must continue to move.  At this point, everyone is given a pen and a piece of paper to write down as many items on the tray as they can remember.  Taking items from an organic baby gift basket can make this game exciting.  Most people are not familiar with organics, and therefore, might not remember too many of the items on the tray.  After the game, the items are put back into the original organic baby gift basket and given to the expectant mother.

CD’s to calm the baby during crying spells, organic bath bath and lotions, diaper rash soap and shampoo and conditioner are all items one might find in a luxurious organic baby gift basket. Making sure there is something for both mom and baby is a nice touch.  You might want to gather a good nighttime sleeping CD, (who gets to use this is up to the new mommy) along with some baby balm, baby oil, organic, of course, and a warm baby blanket.

From small to large, the organic baby gift basket is a special way to say you actually put some time into thinking about an appropriate gift.  You can be sure that not many will think along these lines so the chances of giving a gift that the mother to be has already gotten diminishes…and your friend status sky rockets!

If it’s a gift for someone who has already had a baby and you’re late (God forbid) then the Postpartum organic baby gift basket might be a great way to go.  These can include lotions and balms for sore places a woman can get after a natural or caesarian birth, soothing CD’s to help the new mom get some much needed rest, hot tea, a soft new nightgown, or an assorted array of bath herbs and sprays. (as bubble bath, salts and the like are not recommended for the “just delivered a baby here”, body.)

Filled with lavender blossoms and rice, an organic baby gift basket ensemble of microwaveable warming pillows are the ideal option for a mother to be who isn’t going to be a mother.  The loss of a child, no matter where in the stage of development or age, can be devastating.  Feeling the warmth against the skin and the soothing smell of lavender will help restore the mind and body…and help the heart and soul to eventually follow.

Organic baby gift basket ideas can be found online and in specialty stores.  Keep this in mind the next time you get an invitation with a stork on the front.
