New Baby Boy Gifts
A new baby boy is on the way home, or already there, and you want to send something that helps. The choices range from a box of cookies to a large basket for the whole family. This page sorts them by kind so you can pick the one that fits the parents and the moment.
Bodysuit bouquets
These are the most gift-like option. The "flowers" are blue and white bodysuits, washcloths and socks, arranged like a bouquet. They suit anyone who wants something pretty on arrival that the parents will actually use. Nothing in them needs to be kept cool or eaten quickly, so they work well when you are not sure of the delivery day.
Bouquet with Prosecco
One bouquet comes with a bottle of Prosecco. It speaks to Mom and Dad as well as the baby. It suits close friends and colleagues who want to congratulate the parents, not only welcome the child. Check that the parents drink alcohol before you choose it.
Twin bouquets
Two babies mean two of everything. The twin bouquets give each child a bouquet of bodysuits, washcloths and socks. One is for two boys, in blue and white. The other is for a brother and sister, with pink added. Pick the one that matches the twins you are welcoming.
Welcome home baskets
These are the practical, fill-the-house choice. The Welcome Home baskets come in medium and large, and the large one is described as loaded with baby boy must haves. The His Naptime basket is a smaller, themed pick built around rest. The Pampered Boy basket leans toward treating the little guy. All of these suit a first baby, or a family who would like a bit of everything in one box.
Family baskets
Some gifts think about the parents too. The Fabulous Family basket is filled with things for the new baby boy and for his proud new parents. It suits close family, or a group that wants to chip in together for one generous gift.
Cookies
The It's A Boy cookie box holds a customized cookie and 12 blue and white cookies in a golden bakery box. It is a light, happy gesture for visitors, neighbours and coworkers. It is a good fit when the family will have guests to share it with.
How to choose
- Think about who the gift is for. Bouquets and baskets are mostly for baby. The family basket and the Prosecco bouquet include the parents.
- Decide between lasting and sweet. Bodysuits, washcloths and socks stay useful. Cookies are for sharing now.
- Match the size to your bond. The medium and large Welcome Home baskets let you scale up.
- Count the babies. If it is twins, choose a twin bouquet that matches boys or a boy and girl.
- Check the parents' tastes before sending alcohol.
