It’s always an exciting time when the people around you are expecting. Whether you already have children of your own or just anticipating being the best aunty or uncle, welcoming this new member of the crew with a gift can be a huge blessing for the parents.
While diaper cakes and ang pows are practical presents that can be helpful, a thoughtful baby gift hamper with things baby will need can also be a nice surprise that will be appreciated by the family.
What to Consider When Sending a Baby Gift Hamper
While you may be excited to shower the baby with your gift, here are some things to consider when getting a gift for the newborn:
- Don’t send it to the hospital. The parents will already have a lot on their hands, and having to bring home more things can be a burden. Deliver your gift to their home instead to welcome the baby.
- Make it personal. Giving a thoughtful customised gift like an embroidered blanket can lend a personal touch and make it more special.
- Check the size. While teeny tiny newborn outfits are super adorable, choosing to size up to 3-6 months or even 6-9 months might give more time for the baby to wear the clothes as newborns grow really quickly!
- Go for safer alternatives. Newborn babies have delicate skin, so it’s best to avoid anything toxic or unsafe. Hypoallergenic options are a safer choice, especially for babies with sensitive skin.
- Include something for mum. With all that mum has been through the past 9 months and through labour, it’s nice to show her some love too!
- Don’t forget the other kids too! If the family has older children, including a small gift for them can help diffuse any feelings of jealousy and help the little ones feel excited too.
