These may be hard to find in shops that cater to baby gift baskets, but there is nothing saying that you cant create your own.

Unique baby gift ideas can include a CD player complete with lullaby and baby related CDs, a digital camera or camcorder to record all babys special moments, a certificate calming that youve created a special website for baby so that the parents can post pictures and stories, etc.

Other unique ideas include monogrammed baby clothing, engraved dinnerware, a personalized toy chest or bath hamper or a personalized book that has babys name inserted throughout its pages. You can also be truly original and fill a small basket with all kinds of gift certificates that mom and dad can use for babys needs. Just think of the different certificate you can purchase to make life easier on babys parents. You can get certificates to grocery stores, pharmacies, book stores, toy stores, clothing stores the list is endless and this is a truly thoughtful and unique gift that will save you time and the babys parents money. They can buy exactly what they need or want whenever they want to go shopping. And, to make the basket a little more colorful, you can throw in a few additional items like a stuffed animal, booties, rattles, bathtub toys, etc.
