Baby Bath Basket
If you
are shopping on a budget, the dollar store is your friend. I recently made a
really nice basket for under $10.
It
included shampoo, body wash, lotion, boogie wipes, & 4 bottles (not really
bath related but the looked cute in the basket).
Other things you can include:
-Brush/Comb -Nail clippers
-Mini emery boards -Finger tip brush
Toiletries Bag For Mom To Be
A lot of
moms are so worried about packing for the new baby that they forget to about
themselves. For under $20 you can make
a really nice to-go hospital bag.
You may want to include things like:
-Toothbrush -Toothpaste
-Travel
hairbrush -Moist
personal wipes
-Deodorant -Shampoo
-Conditioner -Soap
-Snack
foods -Bottled
water
-Overnight
Pad -New
underwear
-Magazines
Diaper Bag Gift
If you check for sales on diaper bag, you can probably
find a nice one for around $15, maybe cheaper.
You can then fill it with some “on-the-go” things you may need when you
are out with a baby. If this is
something you are interested in doing, I would suggest hitting the travel size
section.
Things you may want to include:
-2
outfits/onsies -Travel size wipes
-3 pk of socks -A
blanket
-A wet bag (for soiled clothes) -A toy (or 2)
-Small Board book -Pacifiers
-Travel changing pad -2 Bibs
-2 Burp cloths -Nail clippers
-Hand sanitizer (for mommy) -2 wash clothes
Bathtime Bathtub Basket
This is my favorite Shower gift but it not necessary the
most budget friendly! As always shop
sales. Find a decently priced baby
bathtub and fill it with all the things needed for bathtime.
Some things you may want to include:
-Hooded
towel -2 non-hooded towels
-2
Onsies -Body
wash
-Lotion -Shampoo
-Robe -Bath toys
-4
Washcloths -Comb/brush
-Bath thermometer
Saftey Basket
Keeping
little ones safe is so very important. Therefore making a little safety basket is a great baby shower gift. For this gift I would fill a reusable cloth
basket/box with random child safety products. And again if you shop for deals or buy a $15 safety kit from the store you can open it and create a beautiful basket...after all, its all in the presentation.
Things
you may want to include:
-Drawer and Cabinet Latches -Soft Impact Corner Cushions
-Door Stopper -Power outlet plugs
-Appliance latches -Doorknob covers
-Sliding locks -Thermometer
-First
Aid things (antibacterial ointment, band-aids, clippers, scissors)
Memories Basket/Kit
Capturing memories is so important with little
ones; time goes by too fast. So this is
another great gift for any baby shower.
You can purchase a hand impression kits( you can get one cheap online), an inkpad & some nice
paper, a baby book, picture frames, photo album, and even scrap-booking stuff.
Sanitizing
Basket
There are Eco-friendly cleaners sold everywhere and they super cheap.
Buy several cleaners and put them in a small laundry basket. For under $25.00
you can put together a super useful baby shower gift.
Homemade Gifts
You can’t go wring with homemade. If you are not too
crafty you can check out some tutorials online and create amazing gifts. For the last baby shower I went to, I made
an infant tutu in about 20 minutes and created an awesome diaper cake for
nearly nothing. Click here to see how I did it. If you know how to sew
you can make some burp cloths, blankets, or clothes. If you knit, knit something for the baby. If all else fails, make a diaper cake. You can make a small 3-tiered cake for less
than $20.
