When designing the inside of a baby gift basket, most designers really cannot go wrong. There is such a wide variety of items that can be included. One option is to ask the soon to be parents if they have a registry anywhere. If they have, presents can be choosen from their own list. If not think of a theme that could be used. For example if a baby bathtub is chosen as a container, it could be filled up with shampoos, lotions, bath toys, a water thermometer, and washrags. Other fun things that could be added are baby bath towels that have been embroidered or a little bath robe. These gifts are sure to always please.

Colors and shapes are another important factor when designing your present. Choose colors that complement each other. For a boy, bright primary colors would look wonderful together. For a girl, pinks and purples pop off of against each other. It can vary from these with different palettes, but do try to use more than one color. Shapes should also vary. It would be important not to use all squares or circles in your package. Have fun choosing items and adding those little extras that make a present stand out.
