A newborn baby sure melts everyone's heart. A new baby needs a lot of supplies, ranging from clothing, blanket, wash cloth, bibs, socks, to bath tub and toys, Thus, friends and family usually send baby gifts to congratulate the new parents after the arrival of the bundle of joy.  Sometimes, a baby shower is organized before baby's arrival to provide support for the mother-to-be. We have put together a wide selection of gifts for newborn for you to welcome the new arrival.

Baby gifts and baby shower gifts usually fall into several categories.  Keepsake baby gifts help the new parents preserve special memories of the new arrival to this world.  They may include a matching set of hair and tooth keepsake containers, photo frame, and a cute piggy bank. You may also consider sending the baby time capsule to preserve memories of the magical first year of the newborn's life, Other keepsake gifts may include footprint kit,  hand print kit, boy candle or girl candle imprinted with the newborn's name and birth date, or a train bank engraved with the newborn's name and birth date. 

Baby gifts generally provide the necessities that baby needs every day, reducing the burden on the new parents to acquire everything on their own. Baby gift baskets are beautiful and practical gifts you can send to welcome the new arrival. They are usually available in blue for boys and pink for girls, and are filled with basic accessories such as bib, onesie, receiving blanket, baby's first footprint kit, a candle for the baby's room, and a cuddly blue teddy bear. If you like, you can send a deluxe baby gift basket filled with abundance of supplies for the new addition, including layette essentials, a first teddy bear, a lullaby CD, photo album, baby time capsule, first footprint kit, and yummies for parents too.

Another popular gift is a baby bag tote which the new mom and dad will find useful to carry the supplies for their little one.  The Canvas baby tote, blue for boys and pink for girls, is filled with baby beanies, onesies, booties, receiving blankets, washcloths, photo album, brush & comb set, manicure set, Teether, and a plush stork. 

Bath time is fun time for babies.  To make thier bath time even more enjoyable, you can send the newborn with a bathtime gift set.

Caring for the new arrival takes a lot of work and the new parents will likely lose plenty of sleep. Thus, you may consider sending a gift just for mom or dad, or a gift they can share with the little one.  You can send a candy bouquet for the new mother or mom-to-be. Alternatively, you can send a gift basket that contains baby necessities and gourmet snacks for mom and dad..
