Baby Shower Gifts and Gift Baskets for New Parents
Something for the parents too. Inside, something for the baby, something for the parents, something warm to drink and something to keep, picked for them rather than pulled off a shelf.
New. 156 sent so far.
Free shipping anywhere in Canada with no minimum order, and 1 to 7 days in transit depending on where it is going.
Pick a preferred delivery date at checkout. No price on anything inside.
I pack each one by hand, so the photo shows the style rather than the exact box.
The photograph is the $119 box. The larger size is the same box with more in it.
Type it on the card below, up to 280 characters. I write it onto the card that goes on top.
The card is the part they keep.
You type it when you order. I write it out in pen on a real card and set it on top, so it is the first thing they read.
280 characters left. Your message goes to checkout with you.
Every box leaves here tied by hand.
This is the ribbon. Lift each loose end up over the lid and tie it the way I tie every box before it goes out.
What a box like this holds
What goes in changes with the season, so I describe it by feel rather than listing it. The shape of it never changes.
I start with the soft, gentle pieces that get used in the first weeks rather than saved for later.
Half this box is for the adults, because nobody else is thinking about them right now.
A warm drink is in here for whoever is up at three in the morning holding the baby.
One piece is meant to survive the newborn haze and stay in the house.
How it turns up at their door
No warehouse. One box, tied, with your card on top, and no price on anything inside.
Photographed as packed.
Tied and boxed. Nothing on the outside says what it cost.
Packed tight in paper so nothing moves on the way.
The lid comes off, and there is no price on anything inside.
One box, three sizes
Same box and the same handwritten card in every size. The size decides how full it is.

The box is matched to the person, not the date, so the same one works for most of them. Pick the occasion and I will lean the contents that way.
What a new baby is really about
A new baby turns a household upside down in the best and most exhausting way, and the early weeks are a blur of love, worry, and very little sleep. Everyone shows up for the baby, and the two people running on fumes tend to get forgotten. The kindest gift remembers that there are tired adults behind the tiny new arrival.
Why this box remembers the parents
A hand-packed box is matched to the new arrival but built to look after the people doing the night shifts, packed by hand in Canada with baby-safe, fragrance-free materials. It ships straight to their door with a card in your words, so they open something thoughtful without having to leave the house. For new parents who have nothing for themselves, that small acknowledgement lands harder than another stack of onesies.
For the tiny new arrival and the two people who are exhausted.

"The baby box had stuff for the parents too. That's the kind of thoughtfulness you can't get at a store."

Questions people ask me
What comes in a SwipeGifts baby gift box?
Each baby gift box is built around the new parents and the baby rather than a fixed list, with things they will actually use and contents that change with the season. I keep what is inside a surprise so opening it feels like a moment.
Can I send a baby shower gift before the baby arrives?
Yes. Plenty of people order weeks before the due date. Enter their address and your card message at checkout and I ship it straight to them, ready to open at the shower or at home.
Do you include gifts for the new mom, not just the baby?
Yes. New moms get overlooked while everyone is focused on the baby, so these boxes carry something for her too. If you want it to lean her way, say so in your card message or write to me before you order.
Are your baby gifts safe and age-appropriate?
Yes. The baby items meet Canadian safety standards. I choose things suited to newborns and infants, and I leave out anything with small parts, choking hazards or harsh chemicals.
How much do baby gift boxes cost?
Baby gift boxes are $119, $189 and $299 CAD, all with free shipping across Canada. The price reflects the size you choose, and the handwritten card costs nothing extra.
Can I order a baby gift if I don't know the baby's gender?
Of course. Plenty of parents do not find out before the birth, and the neutral newborn box is built for exactly that. Every box here works whichever way it goes.
