Practical Gifts for New Parents

We’ve all attended baby showers where a new parent is gifted the most adorable pair of newborn-sized shoes...that are guaranteed to fall off baby’s feet the second they’re tied on. Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite, bestselling gift sets and bundles; unlike those tiny shoes, these are all presents they're sure to actually use (no offense, baby shoes).

To Baby, With Love Gift Set

Giving baby a bath is one of the sweetest bonding rituals. This limited-edition baby bath gift set contains the essentials for baby’s bathtime routine: a tear-free Baby Shampoo + Wash and nourishing daily Baby Lotion, both in our comforting Rose + Geranium aroma—plus an adorable little hippo bath toy.

To Mama, With Love™ Gift Set

This bestselling bath and body skincare gift set is all about mom, and includes our Relaxing Body Lotion, Relaxing Body Wash, Belly Butter, and a glow-enhancing, exfoliating Dry Brush. She’ll relish stealing some simple self-care time—and her skin will feel rejuvenated afterward.

Radiant Glow Set

Our Radiant Glow Set contains our Overnight Brightening Face Mask, Look Awake Eye Gel, and Spa Headband. These products help give mom a fresh-faced glow no matter how sleep-deprived she may be. And she’s sure to feel refreshed after taking a little time for herself.

Baby Bestsellers Bundle

Another excellent gift for babies, this bundle contains three bestselling fragrance-free baby products perfect for keeping baby’s delicate skin clean and hydrated: our gentle Baby Shampoo + Wash, everyday Baby Lotion, and multiuse Baby Balm to calm and nourish dry spots.

Mom & Baby Bundle

This dual-purpose gift has the best of both worlds, giving both mom and baby the opportunity to enjoy a bit of pampering. It includes our lightweight, fragrance-free Baby Lotion and gentle Baby Oil for baby, as well as our Relaxing Body Lotion and Belly Oil for expecting and postpartum moms.

Creative Gift Ideas

Looking for some other great gift ideas for new parents? New moms and dads will really appreciate receiving any of the gifts below.

Food Delivery Plans or Restaurant Gift Cards

There’s a reason people bring food to new parents after a baby is born; new parents are typically sleep-deprived and don’t have time to do much of anything outside of caring for their little one—and that includes cooking. Giving the gift of a food delivery plan (or gift cards to restaurants that deliver) can truly be a lifesaver—and prevent parents from another night of cereal for dinner!

Cleaning Service Plans

Besides cooking, cleaning is another necessary chore new parents often let slide due to lack of time and energy. But letting a home go can lead to more mess and stress for mom and dad. Gifting a cleaning service for those first few months with a newborn is a guaranteed sanity saver.

Family Photo Session

A family photo session is a gift that will last a lifetime. Whether you give a gift certificate for a session with a local photographer or to a popular chain photography studio, the family photos that result will be cherished for years. 

Now that you’re equipped with some of the best gifts for expecting parents and new parents, what are you waiting for? Let’s check off that holiday list.
