Diaper Caddies as Baby Gift Baskets for New Parents
When I was first home with my newborn baby girl I often found as I was trying to feed and care for her, that what I needed always seemed to be in another room. If I needed a burp cloth, I had left the clean one in the kitchen. If I was up to my elbows in a dirty diaper in the nursery and desperately needed the box of baby wipes, I had left that in the livingroom. I did a lot of sprinting from room to room retrieving supplies.Once my daughter was a few months old, an idea came to me for a diaper caddy. The caddy could be stocked with a days worth of supplies and easily carried from room to room.
The caddy would hold a wipes container snuggly in place and, of course, it had to be well-made and stylish. I made a prototype and upon demand from friends and family began selling them as baby shower gifts. Let us look at some suggestions for its use.This caddy is made of a very high quality shaker-style basket, which, unless jumped on by your child, will last until the little cherub goes to college. Real wood dividers are crafted and set inside the fabric-lined basket - this creates cubbies and a center compartment which will hold any of the major-brand plastic wipes containers. New moms have told me that they restock the caddy usually in the morning, with 4-6 burp cloths and 10-12 diapers.
The most popular finds in the other four compartments are diaper cream, cornstarch powder, pacifiers, the nasal bulb syringe (as all new parents know as "the sucker"), lanolin (for the nursing moms), rattles and I've been told it's a great t.v. remote holder (although I do not promote this use, I will admit the importance of knowing the proximity of the remote during middle-of-the-night feedings).I know a mom whose baby is 7 months old who stocks the basket in the a.m. with a days worth of clean outfits. She brings the basket downstairs to the livingroom for the day. Because the wooden dividers are removable, the basket can be used to store memorabilia such as photos and baby's firsts' when its use as a diaper caddy is no longer needed.The SaraBear Diaper Caddy makes a unique and stylish new baby gift for the new parents.

Corporate Gift Baskets
Copyright 2006 Hali Shipon
The Corporate Gift Basket concept has grown hugely over the last few years.
Business owners have realised that there is nothing so important as cultivating their relationships, both with their clients and with their most outstanding employees. Fostering and nurturing professional relationships, whether employees, or clients, is absolutely vital to develop and maintain loyalty.
Giving a corporate gift basket really shows that you care --- and if you are able to send a basket which reflects a hobby or a theme of interest to the recipient, your gift basket will be appreciated all the more. For example, if you know the person receiving the corporate gift basket is a keen golfer, then look for golf related gift baskets.
Some of the more exclusive gift baskets contain useful items, such as practice golf balls.
It really does pay to get to know your customers and your employees likes and dislikes.
