Newborn Baby Boxes – Essentials for New Parents
Another creative newborn gift idea that’s trending is the baby boxes for newborns. Baby box subscriptions and gift sets provide a bundle of new baby essentials in a cute cardboard box. It’s like opening a surprise gift box each month as parents receive age-appropriate items.
Some new baby boxes double as a safe sleep space thanks to their flat, firm surface. Although not an official bassinet replacement, in a pinch, the box and included mattress provide a portable and minimalist sleeping area. However, boxes should only be used for supervised sleep.
What’s typically included in newborn baby boxes:
- Diapers and wipes
- Clothing and accessories
- Bath toiletries
- Pacifiers and teether toys
- Swaddles and blankets
- Keepsake items like handprint kit
- Coupons and gift cards for baby stores
- Healthcare items like nasal aspirators, nail clippers and more
Baby boxes make wonderful gifts for family, friends, employers, and even baby shower guests. The first month is covered, then parents can opt to subscribe or not. With each themed box coming in around $50 per month, it takes the guesswork and shopping stress out of the newborn period for exhausted new parents!
Some popular baby box subscription brands to check out include:
- Colic Calm Baby Box
- Finn + Emma Baby Box
- Mamababybox
- Lovely Baby Box
