The ultimate new parent hamper guide: Thoughtful gifts they’ll actually use

Becoming a new parent brings excitement, exhaustion, and endless preparation. A thoughtful new parent hamper can help make that journey a little easier. These curated gifts offer more than just baby clothes or toys—they include comfort, self-care, and practical items for both mum and dad. Whether you’re buying for a baby shower or welcoming a second baby, these hampers are a simple, heartfelt way to show you care. 

Choose a new parent hamper that supports mum and dad. 

Many people focus on the baby, but parents need support too. A new parent hamper helps them rest and recharge. Self-care boxes like the “Waiting for You” include relaxing bath salts, calming sprays, and sweet treats for the mum-to-be. A pregnancy journal offers space for her to reflect and connect with her baby. These new parents’ gifts are a gentle reminder that she matters just as much as the baby. 

Second-time parents especially appreciate these gifts. They already have the baby gear, but may not take the time for themselves. A little self-care goes a long way during those early weeks. 

What to buy someone who is having their second baby? 

It’s easy to get stuck when choosing a gift. Most parents already have the basics, so instead of repeating, choose something that celebrates the moment, like a baby shower gift box with milestone cards, keepsakes, and snacks, which feel new and meaningful.  

The “Congratulations on Your Precious Baby” box does just that. It includes gifts for parents and special items for the newborn. A new parent hamper from The Empathy Gift Co. gives families something they can enjoy together and remember forever. 

Baby shower hampers that cover it all. 

Some gifts may look good, but they don’t offer much practical use. That’s not the case with baby shower hampers from our collection. Gift boxes like “Hello Little One” and “Sugar & Spice Baby Bundle” include teethers, bath products, and cute keepsakes. These baby shower gift boxes feel special, thoughtful, and practical. 

Each new parent hamper arrives ready to gift, so you don’t need to wrap it or add anything extra! We also offer hospital delivery in Melbourne, making it even easier to send your love.
