Baby Gift From Auntie

Becoming an Aunt is something to celebrate. This is why we have compiled a selection of products to include in a baby hamper from an Auntie.

What kind of baby gift should an Auntie give?

If you want to buy the perfect baby present there are a few things you should consider.

• Do you buy for the mum or baby – This will depend on the occasion. If you are the Auntie and buying for a baby shower you should buy for the baby. However, if it’s to celebrate the birth the Auntie can buy a baby and mum hamper.

• How much you want to spend – Being an Auntie and a member of the family you are expected to spend a little more. But this will depend on your financial situation and for which event. For example, an Aunt should expect to pay between $40 and $60 when attending the baby shower. But I must stress that you should only spend an amount that you feel comfortable with. The mum-to-be would much rather you attend with a small gift or no gift at all rather than not attend because you can’t afford a present.

• Eco-friendly and Organic – It’s important for the Aunt to buy a baby hamper that is organic and eco-friendly. You want to show that you have thought about the gift you are giving and the type of world where the baby will grow up.

• Locally or Australian Made – As an Auntie you want to buy something special. And a gift that is handmade or Made in Australia is unique and original. And you get to support local and small businesses.

• The gender of the baby – The Auntie should buy something gender appropriate for the baby unless specifically requested not to by the parents to be. And if in doubt buy a unisex baby hamper.

For your niece

If you are buying a baby present for your niece think of buying sets that are specifically for a girl. The prints can be floral or contain brighter colours like pink and green. And you can look for hampers that have hair accessories or bows that would look adorable on your niece.

For your nephew

When buying a baby present for your nephew you should look for earthy colours or light and dark blues suitable for boys. You could also choose a present with a safari theme or different types of animals like the kangaroo or koala.
