New parents deserve something more thoughtful than another onesie. These baby gift baskets are built for the arrival of a new baby, a baby shower for close friends or family, a coworker returning from parental leave, or grandparents meeting the little one for the first time. Each one is hand-assembled with plush toys, soft baby blankets, and (for the parents) a bottle of wine, chocolates, or gourmet snacks so the adults aren't forgotten.

Baby Gift Baskets for Every New Arrival

Most shoppers on this page are one of four people: a close friend or family member sending a hospital or first-week-home gift, a coworker chipping in on a group present, a grandparent celebrating from across the country, or a shower host looking for something bigger than a card. The mix reflects that. A baby boy or baby girl basket with a plush toy and a soft blanket is the go-to for the baby, while the sets that add wine and gourmet snacks are the ones coworkers and long-distance family reach for when they want to spoil the parents too.

If you're shopping around the arrival, these pair well with congratulations gift baskets for the parents, or a new home gift baskets pick if they've just moved into a bigger place to fit the crib. Want to handpick every plush, blanket, and treat yourself? You can build your own basket from scratch.

Common Questions

Baby Gift Basket FAQs

Is a gift basket appropriate for a baby shower if I've never met the parents?

Absolutely. A baby gift basket works well whether you know the parents closely or you're a coworker, distant relative, or family friend sending well-wishes. Something like the Welcome Baby Bunny Gift Set covers both baby boy and baby girl arrivals with a plush, blanket, and playtime pieces, so you don't need to know the nursery theme or gender ahead of time.

Do you have baby gift baskets that include something for the new parents too?

The Gourmet Gifts builds a few baby baskets that intentionally include treats for mom and dad alongside the baby items. The Newborn Love & Luxury Basket pairs a soft baby blanket and plush with a bottle of wine for the parents, and the Newborn Celebration Gift Basket layers in chocolates, jams, olives, and wine. Because these contain alcohol, an adult of legal drinking age needs to be home to receive it with government-issued photo ID and a signature, and alcohol delivery availability is confirmed at checkout. If you'd prefer a fully baby-focused option, browse our congratulations gift baskets for alcohol-free alternatives.

Can I get a baby gift basket delivered same-day in the GTA?

The Gourmet Gifts offers same-day delivery in the GTA on baby basket orders placed before 4 PM ET, 7 days a week. Coverage includes Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Oakville, and Richmond Hill. Every baby basket is hand-assembled the morning it goes out, and our own local delivery team handles same-day runs with live notifications from our van as it's on its way. If you'd like something with a keepsake angle for the parents as well, our thinking of you gift baskets pair nicely with a baby delivery.

Can I upgrade an item in a baby basket if I want something more premium?

You can upgrade individual items in any baby basket to a higher-priced alternative by paying the price difference at checkout, and you can add extras on top. Items can't be removed or exchanged for lower-priced picks, but if you want full control over every single item from the plush to the blanket to any parent treats, start with a best sellers-inspired approach or build one from scratch.

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

Several of our baby baskets are designed to work for either, so you don't have to wait for the announcement. The Winter Wonderland Baby Gift Basket and Welcome Baby Bunny Gift Set both include neutral blankets, plush, and playtime pieces suitable for a baby boy or baby girl. If you want to lean into a specific theme once you know, the Baby Girl Gift Basket Crate is a lovely option with an almond snack, book, plush, and blanket for the parents to enjoy too.

Do you ship baby gift baskets across Canada?

The Gourmet Gifts ships baby gift baskets across Canada with next-business-day delivery available at checkout. From British Columbia to the Maritimes, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Halifax, every baby basket is hand-assembled the day it ships and a UPS tracking number is sent the moment it leaves our workshop. Baskets that contain wine require an adult of legal drinking age at delivery with photo ID and a signature, and alcohol delivery is confirmed at checkout by region, so if you're sending long-distance the gourmet gift baskets collection is a great alcohol-free companion gift for the parents.

How long do the food items in the parent-focused baby baskets last?

The gourmet items we include in baby baskets, things like jams, olives, almonds, and chocolates, are pantry-stable with shelf lives ranging from a few months to over a year. Every product is personally taste-tested before it goes into a basket, so nothing tired or close-to-expiry gets packed. For deeper snack options the parents can dip into over those first sleepless weeks, add-ons from our chocolate gift baskets pair nicely with any newborn gift.

What should I write on the card for a new baby gift?

Keep it warm and short. Something like "Welcome to the world, little one, and congratulations to the whole family" works beautifully, or reference the parents by name and share how excited you are to meet the baby. Every order includes a free printed card message you personalize at checkout, and if you're marking the arrival with a milestone celebration afterward, our anniversary gift baskets are a thoughtful way to acknowledge the parents' new chapter down the road.
