New Year Babies Get Gift Baskets

January 2, 2009 · Filed Under Design Tips, Drop Shipping 

With every year change comes many stories about first babies and gift baskets. Here’s one such story published on KY3.com of Missouri.

You’ll see a photo of the newborn but not the gift basket mentioned in the article.

New babies are one occasion that keeps some designers very, very busy. As you read this, thousands of infants are born, and a gift basket will be ordered for many of them.

This is why some designers specialize in this gift and drop ship sources exclusively for baby gift baskets also exist. This specialty will always be requested worldwide.

I made two videos about baby gift baskets. One shows a large design, and another displays pre-made gifts in cute containers available from Stephan Enterprises. You’ll also find a list of potential products for babies on the products and supplies page.

If you still want to dabble in gifts for babies and want to offer something other than traditional baskets, this diaper gift at RetailWraps.com may be a great alternative.

Many of my baby gift designs, especially the ones created in upturned umbrellas, are topped with fans. One designer asked me about fan toppers at Ask The Gift Basket Expert, which is answered here.

Which of your baby gift baskets is ordered most often?

    I’m wondering how the new law concerning required testing of any articles meant to be worn or used by young children is affecting gift basket designers. I have used some plush toys and other items which most likely were manufactured in China and am thinking that I may have to drop kid’s gift baskets entirely. At the very least, I suppose that many of us will have to get rid of old inventory and start over with items that have been tested.

    You post a great question and dilemma, Elaine.

    It seems that you can immediately tell, from what’s in your inventory, what can stay and what may not be usable/sellable.

    Has anyone else looked critically at their baby basket inventory?
