Top 7 ideas for baby hampers in Singapore

Are you here because you’re making a checklist of things you as a new parent really need? Or because one of your loved ones just got a new bundle of joy and you wonder what to give them?

Either way, welcome! There are so many thoughtful gifts that you can provide parents at this early stage of their journey. 

(And no, we’re not talking about generic stuffed animals. We’re talking about hampers that can be both sentimental and useful!)

Let’s get started with our list of hampers. These should bring a big smile to any new parent’s face!

A hamper for nourishment

This is basically a hamper that helps the new parent handle feeding essentials. Newborns eat a lot, so it’s going to be an absolute godsend for any parent.

Pack this hamper with items that make feeding easier. Some examples include muslin cloths for burping time, bottle brushes, nursing pillows, and even nursing covers or clothes for mums on the go. 

A specific item we’d recommend is the Hegen feeding set. Incredibly popular in Singapore, they make clean-up after feeding so much easier that the new mum or dad will be shocked! Based on convenience alone, this is one of our top choices for a baby gift hamper in Singapore.

A hamper for memories

Want to deliver a gift that has a special emotional touch? Try giving the new parents something that basically lets them store or use personalised keepsakes. 

Most people think of engraved frames and plaques at this point. But you can easily go beyond that. 

For example, you can get a personalised baby book done with the little one’s name in it. The baby won’t be able to read it yet, of course, but mummy and daddy can. It’s also going to be something the baby can learn to read on later.

There are also plush toys that have the baby’s initials. Or you can get embroidered towels for something as cute as it is practical. 

All of these can be keepsakes that the parents and baby can cherish for years to come.

A hamper for the hardworking parent

Mum and Dad have to put in a lot of work to raise their new bundle of joy. That can wear someone out if they don’t think about self-care enough – so make sure they do!

Put together a hamper with items that remind the baby’s parents to see to their own health as well. Think of things like soothing bath salts, high-quality hand creams, vouchers for massages, healthy snacks, and even herbal teas. 

It’s a great way to remind your friends or loved ones that they can care best for their babies when they care for themselves as well. It can also be a nice way to treat your friend — parents love getting a baby hamper delivery that has something in it for them too!

 A hamper for bath time

Babies are delightful, but they can get a little messy at times. Bathing is going to be a regular part of their lives early on. 

So why not make sure each bath is a wonderful bonding experience for both the baby and parents? Try to put together a baby bath bundle, in essence.

We recommend getting things like baby washes for this hamper. Make sure they’re proper baby washes, the type that are designed for a baby’s delicate skin. Go hypoallergenic too to avoid reactions!

Add some soft towels as well, possibly hooded ones. Throw in a sturdy baby bathtub that your recipients can use anywhere and even some properly sized bath toys. By properly sized, we mean ones that aren’t so small there’s a danger of baby swallowing them.

A hamper for clothing and comfort

Here’s another stylish yet practical hamper idea. We know, we know – it’s pretty common to give people gifts of newborn clothes once their baby is born. Here’s the thing: we’re recommending you give clothes for later stages. 

Look for onesies, socks, and other baby clothes that are sized for babies aged 6 to 18 months. This is a great way to set up your recipient for the coming months. 

And you don't have to stick only to clothing, you can include items like hats or shoes too!

A hamper for entertainment

Babies need a lot of stimulation when they’re awake. Why not make things easier for the new mum and dad by helping out there? 

Put together a hamper with soft toys, interactive toys, picture books, and pop-up books. Think about pacifiers, rattles, and the like. 

In particular, think about having a good mix of items that will allow the baby to engage with the parents as well as items that the baby can play with independently.

You can even put together a tailored baby box with toys that match the baby's specific age.

A hamper for everyday essentials

This one may not be glamorous but goodness, does it ever pull its weight! This hamper should be a box that packs all of the daily essentials new parents need. 

The things to put in here include items like digital thermometers, high-quality wipes, nasal aspirators, first-aid kits, and baby nail clippers. These will come in handy for mum and dad so often that they’ll be thanking you repeatedly!
