If you’ve been invited to a baby shower or are planning one for a friend or family member, choosing the right gift can be a challenge. While diapers and onesies are appreciated, a thoughtfully packed baby hamper goes a long way in showing care and attention.
Here’s your ultimate checklist for creating a baby shower hamper that every Kenyan parent will love in 2025—practical, beautiful, and truly useful.
1. Newborn Diapers
Start with the essentials. Include at least one pack of newborn or Size 2 diapers.

Fragrance-free, alcohol-free wipes are gentle on baby skin and useful daily. Choose a full-size pack or travel-size for convenience.
3. Baby Oil or Lotion
Include one bottle of mild, skin-safe lotion or oil. Natural options like coconut oil or branded baby lotions are ideal.
