Baby Hampers – Practical and Stylish

Our baby hampers are stylish and practical and full of unique products that any expectant or new parent would love to receive. When a loved one finds out they are expecting, it’s a joyful and exciting time for everyone close to the couple. And you may wish to celebrate this by gifting a hamper. 

Occasions to Gift a Hamper for a Baby

Below we have outlined some of the major milestones and occasions you may wish to celebrate with them.

• Pregnancy – Finding out that a friend or family member is pregnant is the perfect time to give a little something that will help them along their pregnancy journey. We have a range of pregnancy gift hampers perfect for showing your love to the expectant couple.
• Gender Reveal – Many couples love to share the excitement of finding out the gender of their baby with a gender reveal party. And if you have been invited to the festivities we recommend bringing one of our gender reveal hampers. These are all gender-neutral which is ideal for a gender reveal party.
• Baby Shower – One of the most popular celebrations for expectant couples is the baby shower. This gathering takes place at 4 to 6 weeks before the mum is due to give birth. It is one of the last chances for the expectant mums, and sometimes dads, to see all their closest friends and loved ones in one place. There is normally an abundance of games, decorations, drinks and food. And although it’s not compulsory, it is common for guests to bring a baby shower hamper or gift. We offer a large selection that is beautifully presented and well-received. And if you have been asked to help on the day we have compiled several baby shower resources to assist.

• Maternity Leave – Another reason to give a baby hamper is for someone who’s going on maternity leave. This is the perfect time for companies and work colleagues to give a gift to show how much they are appreciated and will be missed. We offer many maternity leave hampers and corporate baby hampers that are ideal for this occasion.
• Birth – The biggest occasion of them all is the birth of the baby. And this is the perfect time to celebrate with gifting a newborn hamper. We ensure that our gift sets are full of high-quality, stylish and practical products that new parents want to receive! We offer a variety of different configurations and price points so you can choose which best suits your style and budget.
• First Birthday – The final milestone we cater for is the first birthday. The 1st Birthday hampers are specifically designed for babies who are about to turn one. By their first birthday, they have grown out of many of the products in our other sets. So the 1st birthday gift sets are the perfect present for celebrating this major milestone.

These are just some of the occasions to celebrate the upcoming or birth of a baby. But realistically any time is a good time to gift a baby hamper to a loved one. And below we go through the types we offer.
