      About Our Newborn Hampers

      A new baby is a wonderful addition to any family - and what better way to celebrate than with a handmade hamper full of everything the new little one needs?

      When assembling a newborn hamper, it's beneficial to keep in mind that the majority of parents today value quality and practicality - choose products they can use rather than items that would clutter their homes.

      You may already know what the recipient wants or needs, or you may be able to ask them. Here are some pointers for making the perfect hamper if you'd rather keep it a secret.

      4 Gifts Rule


      If you don't know what you want or how much money you have to spend on a hamper, there's a social media trend that parents are embracing for their children's birthday and Christmas presents that makes things easier. It is referred to as the "four-gift rule." It's also useful for creating a meaningful hamper that parents and newborns will appreciate and use.

      You can use the "four-gift" approach to create a hamper that includes the following items:

      1. Something they'll enjoy (such a toy or baby play gyms)
      2. Something they require (for example, muslin cloths or skin care products).
      3. Something to put on (clothes, bibs, hair clips, shoes, etc.)
      4. Something to read (e.g., a book, or, in the case of a newborn hamper, a baby record/milestone book or image cards).

      If you're making a larger gift basket, you can include many items for each theme. Aim for at least three of these areas if you're working with a limited budget. A teether toy, clothing, and a muslin cloth, for example. You could also give the new parents a an organic nappy balm.

      Bigger isn't always better. As an alternative to stuffing your hamper full of inexpensive products, consider including a few high-quality gifts that both mothers and babies are sure to enjoy and appreciate. It's possible you'll expose them to a product or baby brand they'll enjoy. Look for organic cotton or bamboo linen or clothing, and quality baby toys manufactured using sustainable materials.

      Mum gifts

      When creating a hamper, consider incorporating a few gifts for new parents. Either a treat (think chocolate or wellness gift such as a luxury candle) or something practical (stretch mark oil/moisturiser/exfoliant, for example). Mums require care, as well as a pick-me-up, after going through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum rehabilitation.

      Siblings

      If you're making a gift basket for a baby with older siblings, you might want to think about giving them something, too. It's a purely optional bonus. It's a lovely idea if you have the time and money, or if you're really close to the mother you're gifting to. As simple as adding an extra thing like a colouring book and pencils or some play dough or hair clips or a little toy just to know that the congratulations you send is for them as well!

      If you want to make your own hamper, here are some ideas for what you might put in an "essentials" basket for mothers and babies.

      Large necessities box:

      • Nappy cream
      • Bibs
      • Bath gel, moisturiser, and nipple balm that is safe for babies (for breastfeeding mums)
      • A muslin/swaddle wrap
      • Socks, sleepsuits, and clothing

      Simple and lovely hamper ideas

      Using the four-gift guideline, a simple nice hamper could include:

      1. A cuddly toy (rule #1: Give them something they desire - think "fun").
      2. Skincare products (#2 item on their list of necessities)
      3. Something for the baby to wear (#3) Remember that if the baby is expected to receive a lot of gifts, you should consider purchasing a larger size than 0-3 months.)
      4. A tough book for baby's hands (#4).

      + if you'd like, include something for mother and siblings as well!

      Hamper ideas: Large, useful things to put in the hamper

      If you're going to a baby shower in person and can bring bigger things, here are some other ideas:

      A teething toy/baby play area
      Weaning baby floor seat/baby cutlery and feeding set
      blanket or outfit for the baby.
      A keepsake picture book or tale picture book

      Whatever you choose, good luck with your hampering. Consider it a fun and educational experience!

      How to wrap a newborn hamper:

      Choose a recyclable box large enough to hold the contents
      Find beautiful recycled tissue papers and a lovely big red bow to finish off
      Wrap contents in recyclable packaging and voila!

      The perfect hamper to gift to your loved ones.

      Newborn hampers and baby gift boxes are thoughtfully curated packages filled with various items suitable for newborns and their parents. These bundles typically include essentials like baby clothes, blankets, toys, and toiletries.

      Gift hampers often come in a decorative basket or box, making them a popular choice for baby showers and newborn gifts. Traditionally, hamper gifts are displayed in a wicker basket, but we like to do things a bit differently, and ours come in our beautiful recycled gift boxes.

      They can also feature personalised items, such as baby name embroidery, adding a special touch. These gifts are designed to celebrate the arrival of a new baby, providing practical and sentimental items that parents can use to care for their little ones. Baby gift boxes and hampers offer a convenient and stylish way to express joy and support for growing families.
