Baby hampers in Singapore: what the shops actually sell

Ready-made baby hampers in Singapore usually combine clothing, toiletries, feeding items and a toy, often with a treat for mum. Here is what FlowerAdvisor Singapore shows on its baby gifts pages at the time of writing:

• History: FlowerAdvisor describes itself as a florist since 2008, with islandwide and overseas delivery.
• Typical contents: its listed baby gift sets include items such as a baby gift set with hat, socks and bodysuit, bibs, baby powder and lotion, a bath wash, a spout or training cup, a feeding bowl and spoon, diapers, and a soft toy. Some sets add a health tonic or bird's nest drink for the mother.
• Budget bands: its gift finder groups gifts into below S$100, S$100 to S$150 and above S$150.
• Same-day delivery: for Singapore orders placed and confirmed before 11:00 AM, the earliest slot shown is the same day from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, subject to product and slot availability.
• Payment: the delivery page lists Visa, MasterCard and PayPal, and notes that prices can change during festive peaks.
• Occasions: FlowerAdvisor lists newborn visits at home or in hospital, baby showers and milestones such as the first month or first birthday.

These details change, so check the store's own pages before you order. They are still a useful template for building any baby hamper.

What should I put in a baby hamper?

Put in things new parents use every day, plus one keepsake and one thing for the parents. A checklist you can work through:

1. Clothing in a size up. Two or three soft cotton bodysuits or rompers in 3 to 6 months. Newborn sizes are often outgrown in weeks, and parents tend to receive plenty of them.
2. Bibs and wash cloths. Always useful and easy to pack.
3. Bath and skincare basics. A mild, gentle baby wash and lotion. Unscented or lightly scented products are a safer pick, and parents may prefer to choose skincare themselves, so keep this small.
4. Feeding items for later. A bowl and spoon set or a spout cup, which the baby can use once solids start.
5. Diapers or wipes. A practical favourite. If you know the brand and size the parents use, follow it.
6. A soft toy or keepsake. A small plush, a photo frame or a milestone card set. Keep plush toys out of the cot for now (see the safety section below).
7. Something for the parents. Snacks, a tea or tonic for the mother, or a meal voucher. New parents remember the gift that looked after them too.
8. A handwritten card. It is the part of the hamper people keep.

Tip: a hamper does not need to be big. Five useful items in nice packaging usually land better than fifteen small ones.

What are good baby gifts to buy in Singapore?

Good baby gifts in Singapore are practical, easy to store and right for the occasion. Here is a quick guide by situation:

• Hospital or home visit after the birth: a compact ready-made hamper or a small bundle of bodysuits, bibs and a keepsake. Same-day delivery options help if you cannot visit in person.
• Baby shower: shower gifts are often everyday necessities. Wikipedia notes that for second and later babies, guests are often encouraged to give diapers or similar necessities.
• First month or first birthday: clothing in the next size, a feeding set, a book or a keepsake. FlowerAdvisor lists first-month and first-birthday celebrations among the occasions for its baby gifts.
• Office or group gift: pool together for one larger hamper or a set of items the parents have asked for.
• For close family: something bigger and longer lasting, such as a baby carrier or play mat, ideally chosen with the parents.

Good baby gifts by budget

Budget	Gift ideas
Under S$50	Bodysuit set, bib and wash cloth set, board book, small soft toy
S$50 to S$100	Small ready-made baby hamper, feeding set with a bodysuit bundle, diaper bundle with a keepsake
S$100 to S$150	Larger hamper with clothing, toiletries and a treat for mum
Above S$150	Premium hamper, or a bigger practical item chosen with the parents

These bands are a guide, not prices for specific products. Prices change, so check the store page on the day.

Baby hamper Singapore: ready-made or build your own?

A ready-made hamper is quicker and comes gift-wrapped with delivery; a DIY hamper lets you pick exact brands and sizes. Both work well, and the right choice depends on time and how well you know the parents.

Ready-made hampers from a gift shop such as FlowerAdvisor Singapore suit last-minute visits and recipients you do not know well. Packaging, a message card and delivery are handled for you.

Build your own on Lazada if you know what the parents use. Lazada is owned by Alibaba Group, and its LazMall section, introduced in September 2018 according to Wikipedia, carries official stores of local and international brands. Lazada says LazMall offers free 15-day returns, at the time of writing. You can add a basket or box and wrap it yourself.

Other places Singapore shoppers buy baby gifts online include Shopee, Amazon Singapore and FairPrice Online, so you can compare where the items you want are listed.

Baby hamper and baby gifts Singapore: best deals in 2026

The best baby hamper deals in Singapore usually come from comparing the same contents, watching delivery charges and going through ShopBack before you pay. Ways to keep the cost down:

• Compare like with like. List what is inside each hamper. A cheaper hamper with fewer useful items is not a better deal.
• Check delivery charges and slots. FlowerAdvisor shows delivery charges on its checkout page before payment, and the final fee can depend on location, date and product.
• Order early around festive peaks. FlowerAdvisor notes that prices may change during festive seasons such as Chinese New Year and Christmas, and delivery can take longer.
• Build your own when it suits you. Buying a few items from Lazada can work out cheaper if you already know what the parents need.
• Go through ShopBack before you check out. This is the step that lowers the effective price after you pay.

FlowerAdvisor, Humming Flowers & Gifts and Lazada: how to compare baby gifts

To compare baby hampers between FlowerAdvisor, Humming Flowers & Gifts or any other gift shop, compare the contents, delivery charge and delivery slot for the same budget. A simple method:

1. Pick two hampers at a similar price from each shop.
2. Write down every item and its size or brand.
3. Add the delivery charge and any message card fee shown at checkout.
4. Check the earliest delivery slot for your date.
5. Choose the one with the most useful items for the total you pay.

FlowerAdvisor and Lazada are available on ShopBack Singapore. Humming Flowers & Gifts is not available on ShopBack Singapore at the time of writing, so for that shop compare the price only.

Baby gift safety: what to leave out

Leave out anything that is unsafe for a newborn: small detachable parts, cot pillows and bumpers, and loose fluffy bedding. Product safety experts advise against pillows, bumper pads, stuffed animals or fluffy bedding in the crib, as summarised on Wikipedia's page on sudden infant death syndrome. A plush toy is still a lovely keepsake, just one that stays out of the cot for now.

A few more checks:

• Age labels on toys. Choose toys marked as suitable for babies.
• Scents and ingredients. Skip strongly scented products. Parents often prefer to choose baby skincare themselves.
• Food items. Keep any treats for the parents, not the baby, and check dietary needs such as halal.

Why ShopBack is a step before you order a baby gift

Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual. Before you pay for a hamper or baby gift online, open the store on ShopBack Singapore, tap through, and finish the order. ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Your effective price is what you pay for the hamper minus the cash that comes back to your ShopBack account once the order is confirmed. Check the live rate on the FlowerAdvisor page on ShopBack or the Lazada page on ShopBack before you order.

ShopBack Singapore works on the app and the website. On a laptop, the ShopBack browser extension can remind you when you land on a store's site.

Do promo codes work with ShopBack on baby gifts?

No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay. Check the store's own site, emails and sign-up offers for codes, then tap through from ShopBack and finish your order.

Step by step: ordering a baby hamper in Singapore

1. Decide your budget and the occasion: hospital visit, home visit, shower or first month.
2. Choose ready-made or DIY.
3. Open the FlowerAdvisor page or Lazada page on ShopBack Singapore and tap through.
4. Pick the hamper or items, using the checklist above.
5. Add a card message and check the delivery date and slot.
6. Check the delivery charge and total, then pay.

FAQ

What should I put in a baby hamper?

A good baby hamper usually mixes practical newborn basics with one small treat. Think two or three bodysuits in a size up, bibs and wash cloths, a mild baby wash or lotion, a feeding item for later, a pack of diapers, a soft toy or keepsake, and something for the parents such as snacks or a tonic. Add a handwritten card.

What are good baby gifts to buy in Singapore?

Good baby gifts in Singapore are usually things parents use every day: clothing in a size up, bath and skincare basics, feeding sets, diapers, and a soft toy or keepsake. Ready-made baby hampers from a gift shop such as FlowerAdvisor Singapore suit hospital or home visits, while building your own on Lazada lets you pick brands. Go through ShopBack before you pay.

How much should I spend on a baby hamper in Singapore?

There is no fixed rule. Many ready-made gift sites group gifts into bands such as below S$100, S$100 to S$150 and above S$150, which FlowerAdvisor Singapore uses in its gift finder at the time of writing. Close family often spend more, while colleagues may share one hamper.

What size baby clothes should I put in a hamper?

Choose a size up, such as 3 to 6 months, because newborn sizes are often outgrown within weeks and parents usually receive many of them. Soft cotton bodysuits and easy-open styles are a practical pick for Singapore's warm weather.

What should I not put in a baby hamper?

Skip toys with small detachable parts, strongly scented products, and pillows, cot bumpers or fluffy bedding for the cot. Product safety experts advise keeping stuffed animals and soft bedding out of a baby's crib, as summarised on Wikipedia's page on sudden infant death syndrome, so a soft toy is best as a keepsake for later.

Can I get a baby hamper delivered the same day in Singapore?

Often yes for selected items. According to FlowerAdvisor Singapore's delivery page at the time of writing, orders placed and confirmed before 11:00 AM can arrive the same day between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, subject to product and slot availability. Check the cut-off on the checkout page.

Is a ready-made baby hamper or a DIY hamper better value?

A ready-made hamper saves time and includes packaging and delivery. A DIY hamper built from Lazada lets you choose brands and sizes, which can suit parents with clear preferences. Compare the total for the same items, including delivery, and go through ShopBack before you pay for either.

How do I compare baby hamper prices between gift shops?

Compare the same contents, not just the headline price. List the items in each hamper, check sizes and brands, then add delivery charges and any card or message fees. The hamper with more useful items for the money usually wins, even if its price looks a little higher.

How does ShopBack work for baby gifts?

Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual. Open the FlowerAdvisor or Lazada page on ShopBack Singapore, tap through and finish your order. ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order, and the cash comes back to your ShopBack account after the order is confirmed.

Is money back from ShopBack the same as store points?

No. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.
