New baby gift ideas for girls and boys
A new baby gift is really a gift for the mother, and what suits her is a welcome basket or flowers in calm colours, with balloons, or chocolate she can offer her visitors. Unsure of her taste, or whether it is a boy or girl? On Haddiyah she picks one of 2 to 8 gifts you choose and sets where and when. Every one of these new baby gifts is delivered in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Welcome baskets
A basket is the clearest gift in the room where she receives guests: plenty of flowers set in damp foam, standing on their own with no vase needed. There are baskets for a baby boy and for a baby girl, to sit by the bed or at the door.
Baby girl gifts
Baby girl gifts lean on pink and white, such as the Our Baby Girl Basket or pink baby girl welcome balloons for the mother's room. For a newborn girl gift that lasts beyond the welcome days, a vase in pink and white stays for days, whether she is at home or in hospital. See all new baby gifts.
Baby boy gifts
A baby boy gift leans on blue and white, such as the Our Newborn Basket with blue baby boy welcome balloons or a baby boy feet balloon. If you would rather send a vase, the Delphinium and Lily Vase with Balloons in the same two colours gives the mother a corner to welcome her visitors. See the new baby baskets.
Calm flowers for the mother
A bouquet or a vase in calm colours suits a room with a newborn. Pink, white and light blue are asked for most. A vase is easier on the mother because it arrives arranged and asks nothing of her.
Flowers with chocolate for the guests
She will have visitors for days, and sweets to offer them are a practical gift she will thank you for. The flowers are for her; the chocolate is for everyone who comes to congratulate.
Welcome balloons
Balloons set the mood from the door and look lovely in the baby's first photos. There are pink sets for a girl and blue or multicolour ones for a boy, and you can add them to the same order as the basket.
Before you send
- Do not ask a tired mother for her address: send the gift with her mobile number and she sets the place and the time.
- If she is still in hospital, let her set the location herself. Many prefer to receive it once they are home.
- Strong scents do not suit a room with a newborn, so calm flowers beat perfume.
- Write the baby's name on the card if you know it; otherwise a short blessing is enough.
- If the baby has not arrived yet, see gifts for a pregnant woman.
Frequently asked questions
What do I give a new mother?
A welcome basket for a baby boy or girl, or flowers in calm colours, with chocolate for the guests or balloons. All of them cheer her and help during the visits.
When should I send a new baby gift?
Any time in the first weeks. It is best to let the mother choose the time, which is how it works here: she sets it from the link she receives.
I do not know if it is a boy or a girl. What do I choose?
Choose neutral colours such as white, yellow and light green, or send several gifts and let the mother pick the one that fits.
Can it be delivered to the hospital?
The mother or her family set the location from the link, hospital or home. If the hospital does not allow flowers, they choose the house and a time that suits.
She is in hospital. How does the courier find her room?
From the link she sets the hospital location, writes the room number in the notes for the courier, and picks the day and time that suit her.
