Parents aren't your target market for this petite collection. Buyers include friends, extended family members, and office co-workers - a group with lots of money because the gift basket is purchased through an organized office collection.

It will be easier to gain access to this last group if you already have corporate clients.

Your contact, whether in human resources or the person working at reception, has knowledge about expectant mothers on staff and fathers whose wives (women who don't work at the company) will soon give birth.

A warm and open relationship with these corporate staffers will provide you with names, due dates, telephone numbers and other information to help you get the sale.

My baby baskets are contained in children's wagon and upturned umbrellas (for baby showers). I've found the most-popular gifts to be:

	Nail clippers	Soaps, powders, lotions
	Bottles	Comb and brush
	Banks	Picture frames
	Bibs	Night lights
	Mobile toys	Lock of hair containers
	Hangers	Lullaby CD
	Plush animals	First tooth pillow

Our Baby Products Resource List includes over 30 wholesalers with everything for baby. Order your copy now for just $24.97 through the secure store (look for the Directories section) and receive it fast by Email.

Parenting books and items for older siblings are also popular additions, especially when you require products that include the entire family.

Baskets are always a main attraction as the foundation. However, as mentioned above, I chose unique containers that stand out among other gifts. The basket shown in the above picture, on the left, is created using a small hamper. It's filled with diapers, toys, a plush animal, and bib that's positioned above and in back of the hamper. What other containers will wow the client and recipient and increase your sales?
