A gift once the baby is home
What do I bring a family with a new baby?
Bring dinner first. Then bring something small they will use this week and will not have to store. A wash and an oil for the evening bath is that kind of gift, and now that the baby is here you can ask what they are using before you choose.

What to bring
- Rising Star Bundle, from $53. The wash and the oil: a bath, then a few slow minutes of massage. The gift for a family finding an evening rhythm.
- Discovery Set, $19. The routine in minis. Slip it in with the lasagna.
- If they have told you their baby's skin runs dry: Dry Skin Comfort Set, from $53, the wash and the cream.
- If they have told you they want a light, everyday routine for skin that looks reactive: Sensitive Soothing Set, $83, the wash and the serum.
Ask first, in one text
"Is there a wash or a cream you are already using and like?" If the answer is yes, give more of that. If the answer is "we have not thought about it", you have your gift.
Tips for the first visit
Send it ahead so you arrive with your hands free.
Leave it on the porch if they are sleeping, and text them later to say it is there.
Give the parent a turn too. Nurturing Oil is made for ages 0 and up, and that includes tired grown-ups.
Skip anything scented. A new baby's world is already full of new smells.
Questions
Can they use it right away?
The products are made for ages 0 and up. Many families keep the first weeks to water and warm hands and start the routine when it suits them; the set will be ready when they are.
What if the baby's skin does not take to it?
Skin is personal. They can try a little on one small spot first, and they have 120 days to return it, postage paid.
Is this a good gift for a second baby?
Yes. A second-time parent knows what gets used, and a wash and an oil get used.
Can I send it from far away?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout and tick "This is a gift" in your cart. Your note goes in the box, and the prices stay out.
