Gift Basket for Foodie Parents

Here are some items you could put in a "gift basket" for the epicureans in your life who are expecting a little foodie baby:

1. Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby
2. Little Pea
3. Foodie Babies Wear Bibs (An Urban Babies Wear Black Book)
4. Ikea Kalas bowls
5. Ikea Kladd Prickar bibs with sleeves/pocket
6. Ikea Kalas utensils


** Start Fresh Watch out for Tyler Florence's "Start Fresh," his cookbook focusing on baby food, scheduled to be released May 24, 2011.

I personally love the Kalas line of utensils, plates, and bowls at Ikea because they are dirt cheap but extremely durable (perhaps even unbreakable), cute, and easy for awkward, clumsy baby hands to grasp when they are learning to feed themselves.

To give the gift basket an added personal touch, you could include handwritten recipes that your child loved as a baby.
