Some gifts may be more appropriate than others, and we’ll go over five of the most useful gifts for any new parent.
Taking Gifts into Perth Hospitals
Many different hospitals, whether it may be Woodside Maternity Hospital, Mount Hospital, or any other hospital around Perth, allow you to bring certain gifts in for new parents. It’s always a good idea to check with the staff beforehand just in case.
Baby Spa Voucher

This spa promotes bonding between a parent and their new baby, and it can help soothe any discomfort due to colic or tummy trouble. A voucher will allow the parents to take their baby to the spa at a time that is convenient for them.
Beer Basket or Wine
A beer basket is an excellent way to show any new dad that you care and you’re ready to celebrate with them. If mum isn’t nursing, a bottle of wine makes a thoughtful gift that they’ll happily use. Depending on the basket you choose, there may be a selection of savoury and sweet nibbles to go along with a wide selection of premium beer. The wine comes with a small succulent plant in a vintage pot. The selection of beers and wine will differ. Finally, there is the option of getting a basket with wine, a candle, chocolate, and a potted plant.
