We received your Baby’s First Library Gift Basket when our daughter was born and it was my favourite gift. It was so beautifully presented and the books themselves are just gorgeous. A great idea for a gift!
My nephew loves the books I sent him in the Animal Friends Gift Basket for his birthday. My sister says he’s always bringing them to her to read and she catches him ‘reading’ them to himself all the time. So cute!
Reading is so important and such a joy and I’m all for starting to read aloud as early as possible. Your gift baskets are just beautiful and are always received with lots of wows! I’ve just ordered my fourth, this time for a new little one-year-old.
Our Animal Friends Gift Basket is perfect for babies and for little ones up to the age of four.
It’s the perfect new baby gift, baby shower gift or birthday gift for a 1-year-old or 2-year-old.
The books in our Animal Friends Gift Basket have been carefully chosen to enhance the development of young brains by providing a variety of listening experiences. The emphasis is on the rhyme and rhythmic language which babies and small children love so much and which is so important for stimulating their love of language and their awareness of how language works.
Keep your basket of animal books close at hand to allow easy access to the books for little ones and to encourage impromptu read-aloud sessions.

Please note that the book cover images shown here may differ to those in the basket depending on the print edition.
A deliciously soft Jellycat Bashful Lion is great for little hands to hold while listening to the stories.
The beautiful, sturdy basket is designed to store the books so that they can be kept tidy and close at hand.
Materials
Our beautiful baskets are made especially for The Book Basket Company to our specifications and are sturdy enough to stand up to a bit of less-than-gentle handling from little ones. The cute liners are sewn for us here in Sydney by a lovely lady who operates her small business from home.
Basket: white-painted cane
Basket liner: 100% cotton
Jellycat toy: polyester, plastic bead filling
Care Guide
Your Animal Friends Gift Basket is designed to stand up to normal wear-and-tear and to handling by young children:
Basket: wipe gently with a damp cloth.
Liner: wash gently in cold water, if needed. Line dry. Do not tumble dry as the cotton will shrink.
Jellycat Bashful Monkey toy: spot clean with a damp cloth to remove any marks. Can be hand-washed.
Books: board books are designed to be handled by babies and small children and we encourage this as it’s an important part of how little ones get to know and love books. Yes, the books are likely to become a bit worn but we think that’s OK.
