Make Your Own Baby Gift Baskets Know someone who is expecting? Looking for that perfect baby shower gift? Want something unique, that promotes clean and natural living? We have you covered! In four easy steps, you can create a customized gift basket!   Four Steps: 1. Choose your container 2. Choose your items 3. Choose ribbon colors 4. Write a personalized gift note What do the baskets include? You start with a container, choosing from wooden baskets, hand-knit organic gift baskets, decorative canvas totes, simple cardboard boxes or even just clear gift wrap. The totes come in many styles for either gender or even gender neutral for the parents who wish to keep the gender a surprise! They can be re-used in the nursery or playroom to store toys for years to come. The baskets can be re-used in any room of the house for storage. All of our items for filling your gift basket are inspired by natural and clean living – but there is more... The Organic Baby The hand-knit baby blankets and hats come with a beautiful story. They are made in Haiti by Haiti Baby and they train moms in their community to knit and crochet, empowering them to earn a sustainable living wage, provide for their children, and keep their families together. Your hat purchase breaks the cycle of extreme poverty in Haiti – one mom, one family at a time. Therefore, when you purchase one of these blankets, you know that your purchase is making a big impact for them. The swaddles and organic baby clothes are made by Under the Nile and the cotton is grown on their bio-dynamic farm without the use of pesticides, chemical finishes, metal-free dyes, zero AZO agents or insecticides. Truly the best for a baby’s skin! How about a little luxury for baby during bath time? Coyuchi bath towels are a great gift to add! Throw in some organic baby washcloths, a natural rubber ducky and an organic hooded robe with adorable designs by Sage Creek Organics! Make sure to check out of all the beautiful stuffed animals and other nursery items, like our hand knit pillowcases and mobiles for the crib. Our 4-step process is easy to navigate on our website, but if you have any questions, our staff is here to help and answer your questions. Happy gift basket making!
