Friends or family members have just entered into a new identity and a new position in life. No longer are they just Joe and Betty, now they are “Mom and Dad” or “Joey’s parents” and their lives will never be the same again. How about a giftbasket to celebrate this wonderful new adventure in their lives? The main thing to remember with this gift basket is that it is a celebration basket, not a basket of gifts for the baby, but items for the parents.

You might want to make the focal point of the basket a picture of this very special child, very nicely framed and ready for a place of honor in the home. Candles and special candleholders and perhaps some special delicacies of the sort that we only think of buying for special occasions could be things that would help them to have a special celebration meal, just for themselves.

A parent’s pin for each of them would be nice also, with their birthstones and the birthstone of their precious new child. How about a family Bible with their names and the name of their son or daughter inscribed in the genealogical section? A family tree chart would be nice also, beginning with the name of the new baby and working back several generations. Done on some special paper, such as a form of parchment and nicely framed this could be a very special treasure.

You might also want to have included gift certificates for some special restaurant where they could enjoy a night out and also gift certificates for baby sitting or some special service.

Share your ideas with the giftbasket professional, then leave it to them to prepare it and to add those special touches of elegance and luxury. These friends or family members have just entered into a new phase in their lives that deserves special recognition and celebration. Your recognition of that fact and the gift that you give will be long remembered and appreciated.
