What to Put in a Baby Gift: 6 Thoughtful Essentials That Moms Actually Use
Share
Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most precious moments — and choosing the right gift to mark the occasion can feel overwhelming.
At Bundle & Bloom, we believe the best baby gifts should be beautiful, meaningful, and practical. That’s why our handcrafted baby bouquets are made using items that moms and dads actually use every day.
Here are 6 thoughtful items we love to include in our bouquets — and why new parents appreciate them so much:
1. Soft Cotton Baby Grows (Onesies)
You can never have too many of these! Simple, breathable onesies are a wardrobe staple for newborns, and we roll them into rose-like buds inside our bouquets.
2. Newborn Nappies
Practical, yes — but also perfectly rollable! We use clean, white or minimal print nappies that blend beautifully into the bouquet design while still being super useful.
3. Baby Socks or Booties
Tiny toes need warmth! Soft socks or booties are a sweet addition to any gift and add pops of colour or texture to the bouquet.
4. Washcloths or Muslin Squares
Perfect for spills, burping, or quick clean-ups. New parents go through these fast, and they fold beautifully into our bouquets.
5. Pacifier / Dummy Clip (Add-on)
A must-have for any on-the-go mom — and even better when it matches the bouquet’s colour palette.
6. Mini Wooden Rattles (Add-On)
Natural, neutral, and baby-safe. These make a charming keepsake and double as gentle entertainment for little ones.
🌿 How It All Comes Together
We delicately roll, fold, and arrange these essentials into flower-like shapes, wrap them in kraft or tissue paper, and tie them with a ribbon. The result? A bouquet that looks stunning on arrival — and can be taken apart to use piece by piece.
🎁 The Gift That Grows With Them
Whether it’s for a baby shower, a first hospital visit, or just a surprise doorstep delivery, our bouquets are the perfect way to say “I thought of everything.”
