Hospital Survival Kits | Gifts for New Moms and Dads

Need a baby shower gift idea? Put together these simple Hospital Survival Kits for new parents to be.  This fun gift idea will help make birth-day even more exciting!  

A Gift for Moms and Dads

Let’s be honest, having a baby for the first time can be a bit overwhelming, albeit exciting. Babies are usually showered with gifts before they are born, but why not give something to Mom and Dad to help them celebrate the exciting life event of becoming parents?

This fun and festive idea comes from Andrea, who created these adorable Hospital Survival Kits for her relatives who were becoming parents for the first time. These gift baskets are full of essential supplies that both mom and dad will find helpful for the hospital stay. It’s our lucky day because she’s sharing her adorable printables with all of us!

Inexpensive Gift Baskets

Pick up some inexpensive baskets or buckets from the dollar store and fill them with some newborn-stage essentials. We’re talking items that will help mom and dad through labor, delivery, and those precious first few days and weeks with a newborn.

Newborn Survival Kit

If you want a gift that’s tailored to the newborn phase (and not just the hospital stay), you can grab printable tags here. Think: snacks for 2 am feedings, paper plates for no-guilt dish duty, nipple cream (no one warns you about that!), and a whole lot of other newborn essentials.

The printable bundle includes 20 different gift tags (in 2 color schemes), basket tags, and a printable shopping list. Putting this baby gift together just got simple! Grab the tags here.
