Baby Gift Baskets-beyond the wicker basket

Baby gift baskets are a very popular choice among baby gifts.

3 Reasons why baby gift baskets are so popular

Baby Gift Baskets look great, especially ones that have been smartly designed and made by a talented gift professional.
Baby Gift Baskets usually come filled with lots of cool stuff for the new baby. One word of caution. Don’t be swayed by looks alone. Make sure the items inside the basket are made with quality and are useful. The new parents will remember and appreciate whats inside more than how the baby gift looked.
Baby Gift Baskets make choosing a baby gift easy. With many options to choose from today, both on the internet and in retail stores, anyone can find a baby gift basket that meets their needs quickly and painlessly.

The biggest downside to baby gift baskets though may in fact be their popularity. New parents receive a ton of baby gifts, especially for a first born child. Odds are high that a number of these gifts will be in the form of a baby gift basket. If you want your baby gift to be unique and memorable, one must look beyond the traditional wicker basket.

Silly Phillie®-Unique baby gift baskets without the basket

Silly Phillie® features many beautiful baby gift baskets using a wicker basket. Moses Basket baby gifts, Celestial Baby Gift Basket for Twins and Happiness Baby Gift Baskets for boy and girl are several examples of baby gifts centered around a wicker basket.

Rocking Horse Baby Boy Gift Set

More unique alternatives from Silly Phillie® are baby gift sets featuring rocking horses, rocking chairs, step stools and Welcome Wagons™ pull-toys. These unique baby gifts have all the charm of a baby gift basket and then some, but substitute a more valuable and impressive item for baby than a wicker basket.

I hope this post on baby gift baskets is helpful the next time you go shopping for a baby gift.

All my Silly best,

Unique Baby Gifts from Silly Phillie

Leave a reply

Silly Phillie® has earned a reputation for creating some of the most delightfully unique baby gifts. Baby Hoagie, Special Delivery Pizza, Nice Cream, & Natural Rocking Horse Baby Gifts are just a few examples of unique baby gifts introduced by Silly Phillie®. Octopus for boy & girl are two new additions to the company’s collection of unique baby gifts. In typical Silly Phillie® style, Octopus Baby Gifts are adorable, made to order in the USA with baby boutique quality layette, and impeccably presented to make a memorable impression.

Unique Baby Gifts-the driving force behind Silly Phillie®

Unique baby gifts is what has enabled Silly Phillie® to stay a step ahead of competition in a competitive category. Each of the company’s products is designed around the following simple but powerful core set of values:

Baby gifts should be exciting & unique. Having a newborn baby is one of the happiest moments in life. Friends & family inundate new parents with gifts to celebrate the occasion. For any one gift to stand out, that gift must be unique, adorable and memorable.

The stuff inside matters. Silly Phillie® baby gifts are made from baby boutique quality layette items. Nothing short of that is acceptable. People often are fooled by the ‘glitz” of a gift and don’t pay enough attention to the quality of the contents. Inferior contents will be remembered far longer than how good the gift may have looked.

First impression is critical. You only get one chance at a first impression. A gift must be impeccably presented with attention paid to the smallest details if you want to make a positive first impression. Silly Phillie® baby gifts are proudly made to order in Brooklyn, NY. This hands on control over the entire production process results in unique baby gifts that are beautiful in every way and superior to mass produced products.

I hope you like our new Octopus Baby Gifts and enjoyed hearing about how we go about making unique baby gifts at Silly Phillie®.

Until next time…

Maven-An Exciting New Heath-Care Option for Women

Silly Phillie® is especially sensitive to the needs and well being of women. After all, the company is owned by a woman, 85% of staff are women, and not surprisingly, 100% of babies are born from- you guessed it- women! Yes, men still haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

That’s why whenever I come across a product or service that’s beneficial to women I try my best to share it with as many women as possible. Call it the sisterhood of Ya Ya, which is what my granddaughters affectionately call me. Cute, right?

Maven is a godsend for busy working mothers

My latest discovery is Maven. Maven is a new and exciting digital health care service for women. Relevant to all women, Maven is especially valuable for those pre & postpartum, when a women usually needs lots of help and advice from a knowledgeable health care practitioner.

Maven works like this. Once you download their app onto your smartphone or tablet, you can connect with a recommended service provider via a video appointment.

Billing is based on the type of provider you meet with and time spent. All of this is done quickly, conveniently and securely. No more waiting for a doctor appointment or sitting around for hours in a waiting room to get answers to simple questions.

Let’s be clear about one thing. Maven is not a substitute for regular doctor appointments. It is however a wonderful resource to connect with a heath care professional when you need to consult with someone quickly. With practically everything else available today on the Internet, Maven now makes quality health care for women just a keystroke away. Brilliant!

Free Appointment on Maven

Top 5 Baby Girl Gifts

Leave a reply

It’s only fitting that I follow up the recent articled in Silly Phillie® News titled 5 Best Baby Boy Gifts with one that seeks to identify the top baby girl gifts.

It’s well known that girls are generally easier to shop for than boys. One reason for this is that product designers like myself find it easier designing cutesy stuff for girls. Designing for boys is always a bit more challenging.

But when it comes to newborn babies, there’s really no difference in the amount of merchandise available for either sex. And with the explosion of online retailers, finding outstanding baby girl gifts is easier than ever before.

But how do you decide among the many great baby girl gifts available today? I advise customers to first consider: 1) do the parents have a gift registry set-up; 2) Is the baby a firstborn or second or third child; and 3) do the parents have a particular interest or hobby. All of these questions will help focus you on choosing an appropriate gift for that particular baby.

With this in mind, here are 5 of my best baby girl gift ideas.

5 Best Baby Girl Gifts

1. Moses Baskets: A Moses Basket is one of my favorite baby girl gifts. Moses Baskets are great because they can be moved easily giving parents the flexibility of having baby with them in any room of the house. There are lots of beautiful Moses Basket to choose from. Mosesbaskets.com offers a nice collection of baskets. Naturally I’m partial to the Deluxe Moses Basket Layette Gift Set offered by Silly Phillie®. In addition to a quality basket & bedding, this one is filled with beautiful “Princess” themed layette for the newborn baby girl.

2. Baby’s First Year Gift Set: This is a customer favorite gift for a baby girl that won’t break the bank. Baby First Year Gift Set includes a total of 12 pieces, including several different sized layette items for baby to grow into. It also includes a keepsake Baby’s First Year Calender to record milestones, and a decorated wood box that can be used to help keep things tidy in baby’s room. It’s a thoughtful gift that will be used throughout baby’s first year.

3. Personalized Rocking Horse Gift Set: Nothing’s more impressive among baby girl gifts than a beautiful Rocking Horse & Layette Personalized Baby Gift. This is definitely the gift to give when you want to make a big impression. Silly Phillie® has been making exquisite Rocking Horse Baby Gifts for over 20 years. The wood rocking horse is beautifully finished in white and looks great in any nursery setting. Layette items are made in the USA by Silly Phillie®.

Each is made to order in the USA and each comes beautifully personalized with baby’s three letter monogram. The gift ships in an attractively wrapped gift box. For those of you looking for classy baby girl gifts this one should be at the top of our list.

This little beauty is made of wood and features distinctive giraffe plush accents to give it a unique look. The Giraffe Wagon is part of a wonderful baby girl gift set that includes made in the USA layette. Baby Girl Gifts simply do not get cuter than this!

Baby Shower Diaper Cakes are fun & practical gifts to bring to a baby shower or give after baby is born. Silly Phillie® diaper cakes are visually exciting, impressively large and made to order in the USA with quality layette items and diapers for baby.

Baby’s First Holiday’s Diaper Cake shown in photo with baby Reid is actually one of Silly Phillie’s more unique baby gifts. That’s because It includes, among other items for baby, five beautifully embroidered My First” bibs.

Four of the bibs feature a different holiday theme, while the fifth is a My First Birthday Bib. This gift therefore lasts baby’s entire first year, and offers the parents five opportunities to take a cute keepsake photo of baby on special occasions. It doesn’t get sweeter than that, unless you’re Reid parents this Valentine’s day!

By the Way, the Diaper Cake shown in this post was custom made by Silly Phillie®. The plush bear sitting on top has a surfer theme because the proud father is a surfer dude from San Diego. Looks like Reid is already practicing his surfer moves!

Top five things to consider when choosing a baby gift basket

Sailboat themed baby gift basket by Silly Phillie

Choosing a baby gift basket to welcome a newborn is usually a smart decision. After all, a baby basket makes a good visual presentation and usually is filled with lots of cute and useful things for baby.

But it’s important not to be fooled by the “wrapping paper” alone. No matter how much “wow factor” a baby gift basket may have on the outside, it’s the quality of the items inside that’ll determine how much it will be appreciated by the new parents.

So what should one look for when selecting a baby gift basket? Here are the top five things to consider:

Quality over quantity– Don’t be fooled by gift baskets that seek to impress with how many items are included. It is always better to select a gift basket that has fewer but higher quality layette items for baby.
Sizing – A baby gift basket will more than likely include layette items that are size appropriate. It is very important to consider the baby’s age & even weight when choosing your gift to make sure these items will fit properly.
Theme– Beside the obvious gender appropriate consideration, look for a theme that will resonate with the parents. If they love sports or are doctors for instance, choose a baby basket with one of these themes.
Who is making the gift– As a general rule of thumb, baby gift baskets that are made to order in the USA have a higher quality and look better than off the shelf imported ones. Place your trust in an experienced designer/manufacture who has the experience and capabilities to deliver a gift you can be proud to give. One such company is Silly Phillie.
Usefulness of basket– Finally, the basket itself should have value even after the items are removed. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be a traditional wicker basket. Flower pots, wood or fabric storage bins & infant bath tubs to name a few are great alternatives that add value to the gift.
