Its always a great idea to bring a little something to new parents when visiting them and their new baby for the first time. Something like meals, gift cards or gift baskets are always a welcome gift. My best friend gave birth and I knew I wanted to bring her and her husband a sweet treat (you already know I brought a ton of baby stuff!)

DIY Dollar Store Gift Basket idea for New Parents

Start by making a list of the things you’ll need for your gift basket. Favorite candy or snacks are a must. Individual snacks are a great idea too because they can be tucked away around the house or put in a diaper bag.

My best friend is a huge coffee lover so I had to get her a couple of coffee mugs (and I personalized them using my Cricut machine, for that extra special touch. You can just as easily buy stickers from the craft area to make your own). I added a couple of cold coffees, because you know having a newborn means your coffee get cold right away anyways!

Don’t forget to add some healthy treats, with extra protein, like mixed nuts and beef Jerky. I added some of her favorite chocolate bars and a few self care items too, like lip balm and hair ties. You could also add face masks, a heating pad, spray bottle or lotion.

I also found this blue basket at the dollar store and it’s a great because they have multiple color choices. I filled it with tissue paper and started arranging the treats until everything fit.

And there you have it! A simple dollar store gift basket idea for new parents. The gift is affordable, easy to put together and you can buy everything in one place. Plus it’s more personal because you’re putting together their favorite snacks and treats. Enjoy the baby cuddles!
