Delight a little one – and a mum or dad who loves classic books – with our Little Classics Gift Basket filled with gorgeous board books based on some classic books for adults.

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!
I bought your Baby’s First Library Gift Basket as a gift for my niece’s new baby (they loved it) and recently had to arrange a gift from a group of us for a colleague’s baby shower. She’s a real bookworm so I chose the Little Classics Gift Basket and she absolutely loves it!
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 Little Classics 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 beloved grandchild or friend.
The books in our Little Classics Gift Basket have been carefully chosen to provide enjoyable learning experiences for babies and little ones and as a fun way of enabling parents to share their love of their favourite classic books. Simple text combined with colourful, contemporary illustrations of characters and features from six classic books make these books a joy to share.
The basket of books is designed to be kept close at hand to allow easy access to the books for little ones and to encourage impromptu read-aloud sessions.
Our Little Classics Gift Basket contains the following books:
- Little Master Kipling - The Jungle Book: a book about animals;
- Little Master Carroll - Alice in Wonderland: a book about colours;

A deliciously-soft Jellycat Bashful Puppy 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 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 Bashful Puppy: polyester, plastic bead filling
care
Your Little Classics 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 Puppy: 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.
