Every week we get dozens of baby shower questions pouring in—- and we figured there’s probably more than one person with these questions. So we decided to share the most common ones here for all to see.

What are the best items to put in a gift basket for a new baby?
Some common and convenient items you might consider putting in a gift basket for a new baby include:
- Soft and cozy baby blanket
- Stuffed animal or plush toy
- Bibs and burp cloths
- Bottles and pacifiers
- Hooded towels
- Baby grooming kit (nail clippers, brushes, etc.)
- Baby books and toys
- Soothing lotions and creams
- Baby clothes (onesies, sleepers, etc.)
- A gift card to a baby store
Remember that you should consider the parents’ preferences and check if they’ve received a lot of specific items – or check out their baby registry and shop that so you get the right brands, styles, etc.
Be sure to add a cute ‘welcome baby’ gift tag. We created a free gift tag and poem to add to the baby basket. The link is below.

how do i ask guests for gift cards for a baby shower gift without being rude?
Here are some suggestions for how to ask guests for gift cards as baby shower gifts without seeming ungrateful:
- Include a gentle request in the baby shower invitation: “As traditional gifts, parents-to-be request gift cards to (Target, amazon, etc)”
- Talk to close family and friends: If you are close to some of the guests, you can explain your preference for gift cards.
- Make it optional: Let guests know that gift cards are appreciated, but traditional gifts are also accepted.
- Emphasize practicality: Explain that gift cards can go a long way toward buying things new parents may need in the future, like clothes and baby gear.
- Show gratitude: No matter what kind of gift a guest brings, be sure to show your appreciation and send thank-you notes after the baby shower.
It’s important to be polite and respectful when making requests, and remember that guests are under no obligation to bring a gift. The most important thing is to celebrate the new arrival and show love and support to the parents-to-be.

What is a sip and see? is it different from a regular baby shower?
A Sip and See is a type of gathering where a new mother invites friends and family to come, “sip“in a few drinks and”Look“the new baby.
It is a more relaxed and intimate event compared to a traditional baby shower. The main focus of a Sip and See is to allow guests to meet and see the new baby. Gifts are usually given, but they can be as simple as gift cards, flowers, new baby clothes, etc.
Sip and See parties are often held after the baby is born and after the mother has had time to rest and recover from childbirth.
They are usually “open house” style where guests come in during a 2-3 hour window. They are not as structured as a regular baby shower. Drinks and light snacks are served, but usually no games, prizes, or party favors are provided.
