Every gift below is on sale today and was bought for a new baby in at least two of the years 2023–2026.

Choosing for a new arrival
Four diaper cakes under $100
Every gift under $100 on this page is a diaper cake: tiers of diapers finished with a plush tiger at $54.99, pink sock roses at $47.99, or a tiger and a bottle of champagne at $86.99. The unisex three-tier cake at $42.99 has no boy or girl theme in its name.
Made for the baby
82% of baby orders held something meant for the baby itself, compared with 3% of all orders. Gourmet food played a small part: 2% of baby orders, against 12% of all orders.
Raising a glass with the parents
The champagne tiger set puts a bottle of champagne beside the tiger cake, and the craft beer set adds craft beer to a plush penguin and a diaper cake. Whoever accepts either one must be 19 or older and show photo ID.
Flowers with the baby things
The roses and baby gift bouquet, at $150.99, pairs a seasonal flower arrangement with a second bouquet made from a hat, bibs, socks, washcloths, clothing and a swaddle blanket.
Something for the whole household
The newborn basket holds socks, a plush toy and fresh fruit. The new arrival basket goes further, with a push toy for the baby and cookies, smoked salmon and maple liqueur chocolates for the adults.
Ordering at the weekend
15% of baby orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. Couriers work Monday to Friday, so for an address that same-day delivery does not cover, a weekend order goes out with the next business day's courier.
When a colleague becomes a parent
Businesses sent 18% of baby orders between January 2023 and September 2026, well under their 30% of all orders in 2023, 2024 and 2025. A team marking a coworker's new arrival can use the corporate gifting page, which covers ordering by form, deliveries scheduled ahead or sent to several locations, and baskets built to a budget.
