The Perfect Baby Gifts For Different Coworker Relationships
The perfect gift often depends on your relationship with your coworker. Here’s a guide to help you select a meaningful gift:
Baby Gifts For the Work Friend
There’s your work bestie who you grab (way too many) drinks with after hours. You’ve met her group of friends and/or significant other, and you constantly text funny memes back and forth. She’s not just your co-worker, she’s a good friend.
You know her well. For this work friend, choose a baby gift basket that focuses on luxury and comfort, just for her. Our luxe self-care essentials and cozy loungewear are perfect for helping her relax and feel cared for during this special time.
Baby Gifts For the Team Member
Then there’s that team member who you adore. You might not hang out with her outside of work, but you work so closely (and have lunch together so frequently!) that you know a fair amount about her personally as well as professionally.
In this case, opt for a baby gift basket that comforts both the mom and the baby. Consider pooling resources for a group gift or select one of our gifts under $100 for a more affordable yet heartfelt option. Or you can build your own baby gift basket for a coworker at any price point in our curate-your-own shop!
Baby Gifts For the Manager, Direct Report, Employee, or Client
And finally, there’s your manager, direct report, employee, or client who you respect, value, and want to celebrate! Your relationship is strictly a professional one (nothing wrong with that!).
In this professional context, it’s best to keep things classic. Choose a gift basket focused on the newborn. Add a personal touch with an engraved wooden rattle or customize the packaging with your company's logo for a memorable corporate baby gift.
One of our best selling baby gift baskets for a coworker is the Mom and Baby Care Package that has items for both mom and her newborn!

Creative Ideas for Your Office Baby Shower
If you're hosting an office baby shower, think beyond traditional gifts. Customize your corporate baby gift baskets with items that resonate with your company’s values. This not only personalizes the experience but also keeps your brand memorable during your coworker's maternity or paternity leave (nothing wrong with reminding your co-worker why they love where they work!).

Other Baby Gift-Giving Ideas for Coworkers
Wellness and Self-Care Products: Highlight the importance of self-care during pregnancy with gifts that promote relaxation and well-being, such as our pampered and pretty gift boxes.
Meals: Getting through her pregnancy might be all she can focus on. Consider giving a food delivery or grocery gift card to make postpartum meals easier on the family.
Practical Gadgets for New Parents: Choose from modern gadgets that can make life easier for new parents, such as a high-tech baby monitor, a smart bottle warmer, a hands-free pumping bra, or a “Pregnancy Hacks” book.
Memorable Keepsakes: Include gifts that help preserve memories, such as a baby’s first-year memory book, a Pregnancy Journal, or a handprint and footprint kit.
Eco-Friendly Gifts: Emphasize sustainability with gifts that are eco-friendly and safe for both mother and baby, like organic cotton baby clothes, natural rubber teething toys, or a nursery air purifier. Anything from Nurtured 9 will pass the test!
Sibling Gifts: Remember that siblings can sometimes feel a little left out during this important time. A book like “Welcome to the Big Kids Club” can go a long way to reassure kiddos who will soon be older siblings.
Support for the Return to Work: Some great gift ideas are ones that support the transition back to work after maternity leave, such as a high-quality breast pump, a stylish pumping bag, or a gift certificate for a professional baby photo shoot that can be used for personalizing a workspace and making the return to work more special.
Last Tip: Customize Your Gift!
The most impactful part of giving a baby gift to a coworker is showing that they are valued and appreciated. Customize your gift to celebrate this major life event, and your coworker will surely feel the warmth and thoughtfulness of your team. Send us your company logo and we can add that to your card or make it a branded gift box.
Too Many Gift Ideas?
Sometimes overthinking gets the best of us all! If you’re having difficulty choosing from our recommendations, re-made baskets, or make-your-own options, a gift card from Nurtured 9 can be the perfect thing. It sends the message that you care enough to give a gift from a company that curates only the best in maternity and postpartum self-care and baby care items.
