Frequently Asked Questions About Baby Shower Gifts
What comes in a SwipeGifts baby gift box?
Each baby gift box includes 4-6 items picked for new parents and baby. Depending on what you tell us, that could include baby essentials like swaddles and onesies, plus items for the parents like skincare, snacks, and comfort products. We build the box around the family, not just the baby.
Can I send a baby shower gift before the baby arrives?
Yes. Many of our customers order baby shower gifts weeks before the due date. Just enter the recipient's address and your gift message, and we ship it directly to them. The box arrives wrapped and ready to open at the shower or at home.
Do you include gifts for the new mom, not just the baby?
Absolutely. We know new moms often get overlooked while everyone focuses on the baby. Our gift boxes can include self-care items, comfort products, and treats specifically for mom. Just mention it during the quiz and we will make sure she is taken care of too.
Are your baby gifts safe and age-appropriate?
Yes. All baby items we include meet Canadian safety standards. We select items appropriate for newborns and infants, and we avoid anything with small parts, choking hazards, or harsh chemicals. Safety is non-negotiable.
How much do baby gift boxes cost?
Baby gift boxes range from $55 to $120 CAD and include free standard shipping across Canada. The price depends on the number and type of items in the box. Every box comes gift-wrapped with a handwritten card at no extra charge.
Can I order a baby gift if I don't know the baby's gender?
Of course. Many parents choose not to find out the gender before birth. We have plenty of gender-neutral options and will build the box accordingly. Just select "surprise" or "gender neutral" during the quiz.
Baby Shower Gifts and Gift Baskets for New Parents
The best baby gifts do double duty: something useful for the baby and something thoughtful for the parents. Most baby shower gifts focus entirely on the newborn, but new moms and dads need support too. SwipeGifts baby gift boxes include items for the whole family, from soft swaddles and onesies to comfort snacks and self-care products for the parents who are about to run on very little sleep.
