Baby Basket Bootie
 |
General baskets are great for everyday occasions, but when it comes to celebrating a baby's birth, that's when you pull out all the stops and find the perfect container to say "welcome to the world."
This bootie-shaped basket is large and deep. It's shown in dark colors, but your local retailer may offer it in lighter colors for girl gifts.
In addition, the version shown here is just one type. Many retailers sell different types of bootie baskets, so it's best not to look solely for the one depicted.

One nice feature about this bootie is the ability to place wrapped items in the lower portion. The opening is large enough for the proud parents to place their hands within the section and remove each gift. When making gift baskets, professional designers tend to fill the bottom part of the vessel with paper and shred. |

In this case, the cavernous opening will require lots of both items.
Here's another idea. Mix colorful, shredded paper with gift items placed inside the opening at different angles. Close the bootie using cellophane printed with bottles and bears, and top it with a large bow.
You'll create a world-class gift for the new baby.
A photo of a finished baby basket design will soon appear on the gift basket page.
