Giving the gift of gift baskets is one of the earliest forms of gift-giving. The story of Moses in a basket carries with it the symbol of hope and more traditional symbols include those of spring and new beginnings.
When it’s time to start thinking about gifts for moms-to-be, whether it’s a shower, a holiday, or when the little one comes into the world…think about giving the gift of ‘A-Little-Bit-of-Everything” to mom’s who want to make sure they have what they need.
From blankets to stuffed animals, the list of must-haves for a newborn can be quite long. When you give the new mom a gift basket, she’s getting a little bit of everything and she’s also getting another storage basket that is perfect to add to a nursery or changing table shelf. 
Some baskets can be personalized for a boy or girl too! 
Some baskets have an adorable stuffed animal that could soon be your little one’s newest and ‘bestest’ friend! 
Don’t forget the obvious…Gift Baskets are so much fun to give and receive! So…have fun with it!
EmeraldBaby.com wishes you and your little ones…Sweet Dreams!

We’ve discussed essential oils and the benefits of their different aromas, but now that stuffy, running noses are more frequent as the colder months approach…here are some tips and tricks for helping to make your little ones a little more comfortable as they drift off to sleep…
Essential #1 – A Humidifier. 
If you don’t already have one, make the investment in one now. The moisture that fills their nursery will help make breathing so much easier. Especially if they have to breathe out of their mouths all night!
Essential # 2 – Eucalyptus Essential Oil. Eucalyptus oil can be compared to menthol and it works on the receptors in the nasal mucosa. This is what often helps to alleviate nasal congestion and can give some relief through the night.
Essential #3 – Lavender Essential Oil. The calming and soothing affects will help to ease your little one into a sweet slumber. Lavender can ease anxieties and if your little one is having difficulty breathing, alternating some lavender with the eucalyptus will help to calm them.
Essential #4 – Lullaby Music. Distracting their discomfort with some music will help to soothe and relax them so they can drift off to sleep faster. The best part…there are so many different kinds of music to choose from!

Whether your little one is still in a crib or perhaps transitioning to a toddler bed with their crib mattress, have you thought about checking out their nursery from THEIR perspective?
In order to really determine if your baby is looking around and seeing what you think they are seeing, try kneeling down or squatting down to their level and taking a close look around.
Where’s the nightlight? Can they even see it or is it blocking their line of vision, or being blocked, leaving them in the dark anyway? OR, is it glaring in their eyes when they look in that direction?- Where is the bed or crib location? Are they tucked so far in the corner of the room that when they look around they only see blank walls. Perhaps there is a picture of an animal whose eyes are staring right back at them possibly startling them in the middle of the night. Try calming wall decor like this from Emerald Baby .
- What’s the room temperature? Warm air rises, so, how warm is it at your child’s level in the room. Standing where you are in the room, it may feel fine. Once you kneel down, now how warm and comfortable is it? Consider a ceiling fan for reverse circulation or a small space heater.
Are they sleeping with stuffed animals? Do they have a few stuffed animals so their crib feels cozy or do they have so many animals that their crib or bed is cluttered? If you think your little one is a little cramped consider rotating a handful of those stuffed little friends .

Babies love stimulation. When it comes to the development of your baby, exposing their senses to a variety of new experiences will enhance and facilitate their intellectual development.
Some types of sensory stimulation include:
Auditory – From hearing a parent’s voice to being lulled to sleep with a sweet lullaby, what your baby hears can comfort, soothe and stimulate.
Visual – From bright vibrant colors to shiny objects, what your baby sees enhances development through intrigue and stimulation.
Tactile – From soft, brushed fabrics to squishy animals and food, what your baby feels creates fun, curiosity and stimulation.
Stimulate your baby with the perfect Baby Stimulus Package…
by Emerald Baby.
You can visually stimulate your little one with bright, vibrant colors and a variety of animals in Soft Kisses and complete the package with original orchestral music as found in Precious Lullabies for auditory stimulation.

Traveling with a little one always brings some extra concerns. Here are some gift ideas to make short and long trips more pleasant:
Fun Patterned Diaper Totes are unique and a great way to add style to diapers. They hold two diapers and some wipes. You can put them in a large handbag or tote bag and you’re in-style while on-the-go!
Gift Sets with a lullaby CD and a blanket. You can’t have too many lullaby CD’s or blankets. You can leave one of each in the car, in the diaper bag, in the nursery, at grandma’s house, with the babysitter, and anywhere else you want to assure familiarity and comfort for you precious little ones.
Canvas Tote Bags personalized with mommy’s name or baby. They can even be overstuffed with items for a girl or boy. The tote bag will come in handy when you want to stock up on extra baby supplies especially when you’re staying overnight away from home. They have lots of room to pack that favorite stuffed animal and then some.
Some traveling Tips to keep in mind:
- Go with the flow – your little one’s schedule may not match your own schdule
- Think Safety – check car seats and observe your surroundings at all times
- Set realistic goals – you may not cover as many places or as much distance as you planned
- Allow rest periods – for your baby and you; make sure you can recharge with quiet time, rest, and even sleep. It’s alright to skip an outing.

Emerald Baby wants you to remember your baby’s sense of smell. Babies have a very perceptive and powerful sense of smell. There are many different scents you can work with to create an atmosphere that is perfect for your baby.
| Lavender |
This is one of the most popular aromas for babies, especially at bedtime. Lavender is good for calming and relaxing |
| Chamomile |
This is also good for calming and relaxing and it is also good for soothing any noticeable irritability |
| Frankincense |
This is good for calming and relaxing and is also good for promoting a sense of security |
| Rose |
This is another one that is good for calming and relaxing. Rose is also good for creating an atmosphere of peace and happiness |
| Sandalwood |
Along with being good for calming and relaxing, sandalwood is also good for promoting a sense of security |
| Lemon |
This is good for creating an atmosphere of peace and happiness |
Let’s not forget the most important scent of all. If your baby doesn’t want to settle down for bedtime and can’t seem to relax, try putting a baby blanket or burp cloth in their crib that carries the scent of mommy or daddy. That may be all your little one needs to calm down and slide into a peaceful slumber!
