Yes! We offer gender-neutral gift baskets featuring neutral-colored clothing, blankets, toys, and other adorable essentials, perfect for any baby.

What are some good food gift baskets for new parents?

Who These Baby Gift Baskets Are For

Most orders come from three people: the aunt or uncle who can't fly in for the shower, the coworker chipping in on a team gift for someone on parental leave, and the grandparent who wants the first gift to feel like more than a onesie. A baby girl basket with a soft blanket, a board book, and almonds reads as a keepsake plus a snack for whoever's up at 3 a.m. A unisex plush and blanket set covers the gender-neutral registry crowd. And the higher baskets that pair baby items with wine and chocolate are the ones adult siblings and close friends reach for, because the parents get a treat too, not just the baby.

If a shower is around the corner and you'd rather build something specific, baby shower gift baskets and new parents gift baskets sit right next door, and you can also build your own basket from scratch.

Common Questions

Baby Gift Basket FAQs

Are baby gift baskets appropriate for both baby showers and newborn arrivals?

Yes, our baby gift baskets work beautifully for both moments. Shower gifts tend to skew toward the parents-to-be with keepsake items like plush toys and blankets, while newborn arrival baskets often pair baby items with a treat for mom and dad. The Welcome Baby Bunny Gift Set is a favorite for showers, and you can browse more options in our congratulations gift baskets collection if you want something that celebrates the whole family.

What if I don't know whether the baby is a boy or a girl?

Several of our new baby gift baskets are designed to be gender-neutral, with soft creams, whites, and natural tones that suit any nursery. The Winter Wonderland Baby Gift Basket and Newborn Celebration Gift Basket both work regardless of the baby's gender. If you want something more tailored later, you can always build your own basket with our custom gift basket tool and pick every item yourself.

How fast can a baby gift basket be delivered in the US?

The Gourmet Gifts offers next-day delivery anywhere in the USA on baby gift baskets, so a new-parent gift can be at their door tomorrow. Nationwide next-day delivery is the default speed at checkout, which is a lifesaver when a baby arrives earlier than expected. If you're pairing this with a housewarming-style gift for the family, our new home gift baskets are a natural companion.

Can I add wine or champagne to a baby basket for the parents?

Absolutely, celebrating new parents with a bottle is a lovely touch. The Newborn Love & Luxury Basket already includes wine alongside a plush toy and baby blanket, and you can upgrade the bottle to a higher-tier option by paying the price difference. Baskets that contain alcohol require an adult 21 or older with government-issued photo ID and an adult signature at delivery, and availability is confirmed at checkout. For more bottle-forward options, browse our best sellers.

Can I customize a baby gift basket or upgrade items in it?

Yes, every basket can be personalized by upgrading individual items to a higher-tier alternative by paying the price difference, and you can add extras like extra chocolates or an additional plush. Items can't be removed from a set basket, but if you want full control over the contents, we recommend picking each item yourself through our gourmet gift baskets collection or building one from scratch.

How do you schedule delivery and package the baskets so nothing gets damaged?

You pick a preferred delivery date right at checkout, so the basket arrives on the day that works best for the new parents. Every basket is hand-assembled and packed with protective materials, and baskets with wine or champagne travel in reinforced packaging so the bottle arrives intact. You'll get tracking the moment your basket ships. If you want a matching gift for a sibling milestone, our birthday gift baskets pair nicely.

What makes a $150 baby gift basket worth it compared to a smaller gift?

The Gourmet Gifts builds every baby gift basket by hand with items the parents will actually use and keep, like a soft blanket, a plush toy the child will hold onto for years, and a keepsake crate that doubles as nursery storage. The Baby Girl Gift Basket Crate, for example, includes a plush, blanket, a children's book, and almonds for mom, all presented as a real gift, not a bag of stuff. Every product is personally taste-tested and vetted before it goes in, and you can see similar quality in our chocolate gift baskets.

Can I include a personal message with a baby gift basket?

Yes, every order includes a free printed card message that you write at checkout. It's a nice way to add a personal note for the new parents without needing to ship a separate card. If you're sending this alongside a thank-you gesture for a shower host or godparent, our thank you gift baskets are a thoughtful pairing.
