Beyond the Cardboard Box: How Wicker Set Us Apart in the World of New Baby Gifts

When it comes to gift-giving, we believe that the presentation matters just as much as the gift itself.  Our beautiful, white wicker baskets are more than just containers; they're part of the gift itself.  And when the contents have been enjoyed, the baskets can be re-used as attractive storage containers in the home for many years to come.

The Wicker Basket Difference

In recent years, many start-up websites have popped up, selling 'new baby gifts' in cardboard gift boxes and referring to them as 'baby baskets' and 'baby hampers.' Now, let’s be clear; a cardboard box is not the same as a wicker basket. Not in value, appearance, quality, or sustainability. When you send a gift, you want it to be impressive, and a flimsy cardboard box just doesn’t cut it. Wicker baskets, on the other hand, offer a timeless elegance and a sense of permanence. They are sturdy, reusable, and visually appealing. Not to mention the fact that wicker baskets add an extra layer of luxury to every gift, making them a keepsake in their own right. Whether used for storage or display, baskets continue to be useful long after the initial gift has been enjoyed.

Quality and Sustainability

Here at Basketsgalore our commitment to quality is strong and consistent.  Our baskets are custom hand-made by a trusted supplier that we've been using for many years.  It's the special little touches; such as the white satin finish, the round shopper style with handles and the handpicked thick fabric lining, that makes them unique and stand out as a high standard product.  This starts with our specially custom made, premium white satin finished, pretty wicker shopper style gift basket. These gorgeous and sunstantially sized wicker baskets are beautifully presentation wrapped with ribbons and bows, and allow the gifts inside to be artistically displayed.

We conciously chose wicker as our material of choice over 22 years ago, not just because they are visually appealing good, but because they are an environmentally friendly, natural and bio-degradable product that provides an eco-friendly alternative to disposable gift packaging. As we all become increasingly aware of our environmental impact, opting for wicker over other gift hamper containers such as cardboard, helps us play a role in reducing the waste going to landfill. 

Wicker baskets also of course highly reusable in a multitude of scenarious and can be upcycled for many purposes such as; storage for toys in the bedroom or for loo roll in the bathroom, beside the fire for logs, shoe storage, a planter and even a new pet bed.  This focus on sustainability aligns with our values and appeals to both our customer and the gift receiver, who appreciate the extra thoughtfulness  that has gone into the gift container choice.

Grand Gesture Baby Gift Baskets With Timeless Appeal

Our baby gift baskets make a WOW statement on arrival, because they've been designed, arranged and wrapped to have as much presentational impact as a new baby bouquet of flowers. 

And as for their contents our primary focus is including sustainable items that grow with baby, and have been made to last.

We source from companies that use high-quality materials and construction, ensuring they can withstand daily use. Crafted to endure rough and tumble, these gifts are designed to handle spills and frequent washing. We choose products with durability in mind, ensuring they can be relied upon every day.

We specifically include gifts that offer long-term value by choosing items that can be used beyond the newborn stage or have multiple purposes, allowing continued enjoyment as the baby grows. As parents ourselves, we prefer gifts that last beyond the initial weeks. Whether it's a toy that adapts as the baby grows or a versatile item, we focus on choosing gifts with a longer shelf life. It's about picking things that will be part of the baby's life from tiny tot to curious crawler and beyond. If a gift can evolve with the baby, it's exactly what we want to give.

And lastly we prefer to include gifts that won't go out of style quickly. Classic, versatile items can be used for subsequent children or passed down to other family members. We love gifts with enduring style, ones that don't follow passing fads. Our focus is on choosing items that stand the test of time in both durability and design. These timeless gifts can be handed down to the next child or generation without looking outdated. For us, versatility and a timeless look are essential, as we value items that can be cherished and used for years.
