If you're tight on time, pre-made gift baskets make great baby shower gifts. Wrapping up this month-long series, today a look at some cool combos that will delight new mamas, papas and their little bears.

Girlfriend Grams' Baby Gram is so precious! They were designed by a mom after her husband spent an exhausting afternoon at the mall looking for a gift for her when she was pregnant with their son. She says he ended up getting her a gift certificate and was disappointed about that. So they come up with the Baby Grams. The set includes a really soft and cute pink or blue bathrobe, a baby photo frame perfect for that first family photo, a cuddly and squeezably soft "baby's first teddy bear," a "baby's first year" calendar that comes with stickers so it can be used starting any month of any year to make all of baby's first moments, and a "message in a bottle" personalized note scrolled inside a corked glass bottle. Check out photos of all the items HERE. This gift is perfect for sending to your friends and family anywhere! It arrives at their door in a unique "world traveler" type of box with all the the goodies neatly packed inside. You could also have it sent to you to bring to the hospital or a baby shower - with no extra work on your part gift wrapping!

Start new parents off on the right foot with Cloud B's Lullabag Sleep System set. It includes two sizes of LullaBags. These sleep sacks have a unique zipper that curves around the sack for easy diaper changes in the middle of the night. You can also add a matching Lullawrap to take baby from those first days well through the first year of sleeping well. All of these sleep items are made from incredibly soft and comfy Pointelle Cotton, which is breathable to keep baby the perfect temp all year round. The set comes in an adorable cradle shaped box that can be used for storing diapers and such in baby's room or on baby's changing table. Great presentation if sending by mail or gifting in person! Use coupon code exbb-0509 for a 15% discount off your purchase through June 30th.

Bath by Bettijo's 100 percent Organic Gift Set has a super soft onesie by Wry Baby that says "Ask me about my compost pile" plus a bottle of Sweet B organic shampoo and wash and a bottle of shea butter lotion. The wash is tear free with a super light scent of lavender and chamomile for wee ones for the bath. Follow that with the thick and creamy lotion to stay well moisturized. The gel and lotion are made in the USA.

The Babyface Gift Set includes vegan organic lavender lotion, baby wash and a soap bar made by the San Diego Natural Soap Company. The scent is barely there but will add some relaxation for baby and parents during those early rubadubdubs. The bath products come in a cute kit with a mini rubber ducky and book Practical Tips for Surviving and Thriving During Baby's First Year.

Comfort Silkie makes a wide array of gift basket options for new moms. Of note: their Labor Comfort Tool Kit. This is a unique baby shower gift item. Something designed just to ease mama as she goes through the birthing process. Packaged in a fun fleece tool bag, the kit includes a Labor Comfort Pillow, Effleurage Massage Blanket, Back Labor Massage Tool, Silkie Skin & Lip Balms and Instruction Manual. All of the products are Comfort Silkie originals designed by Early Parenthood Educator & Comfort Therapist, Jeanelle Troncone - who's a mom to six! This is a good gift pack for those mamas who want to experience a drug-free labor, as everything in the gift pack is made just for that.

Grandma Minnie's Baby on Board set- I love Grandma Minnie products! They're fragrance free, hypoallergenic and free of all known allergens. The kit includes travel sizes of everything from a super lotion to baby safe hand sanitizer. Read about all the great Grandma Minnie products HERE. This set is perfect to bring to the hospital! Great stuff!

LUSH makes a nice relaxing gift pack just for mommies called Serenity. It has their fig and leaves soap, bathos bubble bar slice (my daughter's LOVED this one in particular and we used it for several baths with lots of bubbles in each), butterball bath bomb, Ceridwen's luxury bath melt and ring of roses buttercream bar. Refrigerate the buttercream bar and make them the perfect refresher for a very preggo mama suffering in the summer heat! Nice stuff! Like all of LUSH's products these feel and smell like a real treat and provide much needed relaxation.

Basq makes a few cool, relaxing sets to pamper expecting mamas - including a deluxe diaper bag with several great Basq products inside. Their products have a very light and energizing floral scent and feel smooth going on.

Organically Hatched has one of the most impressively presented gift sets out there. It's called "The Baby Bunch" and it looks like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. But those flowers are made of a set of organic baby clothes. It's so cute, you might not want to deflower the bunch. But do, because the set is nice for bay to wear! Get 10% off The Baby Bunch and anything else at OrganicallyHatched.com (with purchase of $20 or more) using coupon code "welcome."
