Baby Gift Guide

A gift for a new baby lands in a home that is short on sleep, so the favourites lean practical: diapers, clothing, blankets and a little something for the parents. Here are the gifts Vancouver Baskets customers sent most often for new arrivals between May 2024 and September 2026, grouped by price, and what it takes to get one to the family.

New baby gifts chosen most

Each gift here is on sale now and was sent for a new baby in at least two separate calendar years between May 2024 and September 2026. They are grouped by price, and the heading over each group gives its share of baby orders. The Baby Newborn Gift Basket with Balloon was picked clearly more than any other and carries the #1 badge; the rest are in no particular rank. Only three gifts in the middle price group meet the two-year rule. Prices shown are today's.

Picking the right baby gift

Diaper cakes are an easy start

Three of the four gifts picked most for new babies are diaper cakes at $42.99 to $54.99: the Pink Ribbon Baby Shower Diaper Cake, the Baby Shower 3-Tier Diaper Cake and the Three-Tier Diaper Cake, a three-tier stack of diapers with a seven-inch plush tiger on top.

Boy, girl or still a secret

Browse the baby boy or baby girl gifts once the news is out. Until then, the Baby Shower 3-Tier Diaper Cake works for either.

Comfort for the first weeks

The Cozy Baby Gift Basket pairs fresh fruit with a hooded bath towel and washcloths. The Baby Gift Set with Swaddling Blankets adds a plush teddy bear, a sleeper, a muslin swaddle and rattles.

A toast for the parents

Still wine was in 4% of baby orders and sparkling wine in 3%, so most new-baby gifts leave alcohol out. For a toast, the New Baby Arrival Wine Basket includes a bottle of wine and the Newborn Baby Girl Champagne Gift Set pairs champagne with fresh flowers; either must be signed for by someone 19 or older with photo ID.

Mostly a weekday purchase

Only 8% of baby orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. That suits the courier, which runs Monday to Friday; same-day delivery runs every day, but only in the cities listed below.

Set the date for later

The delivery date is chosen at checkout, so the gift can be ordered before the birth and timed for when the family is settled at home.

A new baby on the team

15% of baby orders between May 2024 and September 2026 came from companies, well under the 33% share companies hold across all orders in 2024 and 2025. When a whole office wants to send one gift to a colleague on leave, the corporate pages explain how company orders work.

Which baby gifts include alcohol?

The New Baby Arrival Wine Basket has wine and the Newborn Baby Girl Champagne Gift Set has champagne. Gifts with alcohol are signed for by someone 19 or older showing photo ID.

How much is delivery?

Local delivery costs nothing on orders over $100 and $15.99 to $19.99 below that. For courier addresses the charge is shown at checkout.
