Brad and I are at the point in our lives where many of our friends are having babies. It’s funny how life in our twenties has progressed for us and a fair amount of our friends. Graduate college at around age 22-23. Engaged at around age 24-25. Married at 25-26. Babies at 27-30. It’s like clockwork.
With all of these milestones come gifts. Since we’re in the baby stage, I’ve been passing out a lot of baby gifts lately.
I recently put together a baby gift basket for our friends who are expecting a baby boy later this month. I’m a strong believer in sticking to registries because people are asking for certain things for a reason. But this particular gift is for our friends’ second child so I gave myself permission to go rogue.
I decided to include some practical items, like diapers, wipes, baby wash and lotion.
Before I had Owen, all of my friends with babies raved about up & up diapers and wipes. I had to see what everyone was talking about so I purchased some, and we haven’t looked back. The diapers are super absorbent and soft. And I love the wetness indicator.
The wipes are great because they’re made of botanic and cotton fibers, making them soft and durable. They’re gentle enough to use on Owen’s face and hands too. Brad has also informed me that they work very well on human hands after consuming chicken wings.
I also love the up & up baby products because they’re often on sale, and I can usually find a Cartwheel deal on them as well. Use your Target REDcard and it’s a savings trifecta.
I also wanted to include a few fun things so I threw in a cozy sleeper, alligator pull toy, and handmade burp cloths.
I always give our friends a set of burp cloths. It’s my DIY touch.
These burp cloths are super easy to make, and everyone always loves them. I personally love having them around the house now that Owen is here. Cleaning up spit up is less bothersome when using a cute burp cloth.
If I’m putting together a gift basket, I like to use something that’s functional so I grabbed this fabric drawer from the Target clearance section to put all the items in. It cost a whopping $3.50. I would’ve paid more for a gift bag and tissue paper.
I figure our friends can use it to store toys or other random baby items.

Tonia Fender says
October 23, 2014 at 7:57 AMI used to give Eddie Bauer diaper bags with something in them. This was about 15 years ago….so the guys felt more comfortable carrying them also. Now since I am more “mature”, I usually give a mattress pads and sheets. This is not the most glamorous gift, but much needed! And I like to add something fun and/or cute, such as statement bibs or a classic book. PS….my son just married 2 years ago. They are expecting their first….twin baby girls!
Dee says

Jennifer says
October 23, 2014 at 8:45 AMI have given up and up diapers and wipes many times because of their reputation. Looking forward to trying them out for myself when our baby arrives in March. Like you I try to stick to the registry and pick out practical gifts, but always include a handmade blanket. My great grandmother started that tradition and my mom and I have kept it going shower after shower.
Lisa says
October 23, 2014 at 8:46 AMI love so many Up & Up products – I use many of the cleaning ones! No kids in my household, but my sister swore by the baby formula.

Amanda says
October 23, 2014 at 9:26 AMMy favorite up&up items are definitely the baby wipes, the “squeezies” (little pureed baby food pouches), and I actually love their select-a-size paper towels 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Stacie says
October 23, 2014 at 9:26 AMMy youngest is almost 3 and we STILL buy the up&up wipes by the box! They are so useful to have stashed all over the house and car. I might never stop buying them!
I love love love to give baby gifts! And, like you, I like to put them in something that can be re-used. The last baby gift I gave was actually in a Thirty-one bag that could double as a diaper bag. You can’t have too many bags when you’ve got little ones!
judy says
October 23, 2014 at 9:30 AMi’m going to make note of the line of diapers and wipes you recommend as my daughter is having baby #3 in december….a boy! my go-to baby gift in the past has been a laundry basket filled with must-haves for baby….lotion, powder, wipes, body & hair wash, etc., most bought at the $$Tree….but i love your suggestions too.
Kelli says
October 23, 2014 at 9:35 AMI like their diapers. Also I cracked up when you specified that they work well “on human hands” – (as opposed to baby hands?) – Ha!
Hannah says
October 23, 2014 at 9:39 AMWe currently only have a furbaby, so we have not tried and up & up baby products. As for a present, I like to stick to something off the registry as well as an adorable outfit. Baby clothes are the absolute cutest!
Nikki says
October 23, 2014 at 9:39 AMI used the wipes, diapers, and formula with #1 and had a monthly order online (so much easier than getting it all at the store). With #2 (9 days old), we are working through our stack of gifted diapers and wipes, then we’ll make the switch to up and up. The jury is still out on formula, we’ll see how the next few weeks go without.
Lauren C says
October 23, 2014 at 9:53 AMMy go-to baby product for first time mom’s is either a rock-n-play or aden & anais swaddler blankets.
I love giving personalized gifts for those having a second or third baby.
Kandace says
October 23, 2014 at 10:09 AMLove the up&up diapers and wipes, and flushable wipes for potty training. I have given burp cloths, inspired by your post, to three people in the last few months. 🙂 I like to give something useful and cute and those fit the bill.
Jennifer says
October 23, 2014 at 10:10 AMI love the up & up wipes too! I always sneak in a book into the gift too because as every parent knows you can never have too many when you read about 20 of them a day!
caitlin says
October 23, 2014 at 10:15 AMLOVE up and up diapers and wipes. They’re all we use and all we’ve ever used since getting home from the hospital with Baby #1… we’re on #2 now… 🙂
Natalie says
October 23, 2014 at 10:27 AMWe LOVE the up and up brand diapers and wipes! Our friends gave us a packaged with our first daughter and we haven’t never gone back! We got a bunch of free other brands when we had our second and we actually gave away the other brands and stuck with the up & up! They are so great!
Love the gift idea! Have a baby shower to go to this weekend…so planning to match this!
Laura Rogers says
October 23, 2014 at 10:33 AMI love the Up & Up diaper rash creams for our little one.
Brittany Landwer says
October 23, 2014 at 10:37 AMWe don’t have a baby yet, however I have used the up&up baby nighttime lotion (because it smells ahhmazing) and I purchase the wipes all the time for adult use and for us it’s a must in our car! I love the practical storage box you put the gift in! I do this all the time as well. I love putting gifts in a pretty basket that I know they can use for extra storage. I also love making diaper cakes and decorating them with small items from their registry as well as trial size versions of baby shampoo, baby powder etc. I love practical gifts with a DIY touch! Also, I have found that mamas love when I buy cute baby clothes, but in a larger size such as 9-12 months. Everyone seems to buy newborn and 0-3 months clothing sizes. Baby will grow people 🙂 And sometimes mamas are left with tons of clothes baby was never able to wear because they grew so fast!
Laura S says
October 23, 2014 at 10:39 AMMy favorite Up & Up baby product would also have to be their diapers – they’re definitely the best value out there for disposables with the fewest harmful chemicals! We’ve switched to cloth diapers since our baby turned a month old, but those NB up&up diapers were definitely a pocketbook and sanity-saver that first month of newborn craziness 🙂
andrea says
October 23, 2014 at 10:50 AMI love giving books as a baby gift! will definitely try my hand at your homemade burp cloths as well… super cute and functional 🙂
Erin says
October 23, 2014 at 10:51 AMLove this! If it’s on their registry, I almost always get the boppy. It’s cute, practical and they always love it.
Rachel says
October 23, 2014 at 10:52 AMSo I am an expectant mother (38 weeks this coming Saturday) and actually haven’t tried any of the up & up baby products yet, but based on all of the various posts I’ve seen, I will be heading to Target in the very near future to grab some diapers & wipes to add to my stash. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!!
Shantel Hickle says
October 23, 2014 at 11:05 AMWe have used the Up and Up diapers as well, and they’re great! When I give baby gifts I like to mix practical with fun as well, like diapers/wipes and a book or something personalized. Love the idea of using a bin or basket instead of a gift bag!!
vicki waclawik says
October 23, 2014 at 11:08 AMLike you I always put together a basket of things. I usually include a book and some homemade items as well. Burp cloths are one of my favorite things to include as well. I am a fan of Up & Up products and the savings with the Cartwheel app and your Target card are hard to beat!
Emily Stultz says
October 23, 2014 at 11:25 AMI love the up & up diapers and wipes too! I don’t have a child personally, but they are always staples in my baby shower gifts. I usually give a laundry basket filled with diapers, wipes, shampoo, lotion, wash cloths, a personally embroidered hooded towel with the baby’s name or nickname, and a rubber duckie. I also add in a little somethin’ somethin’ for mama too, like fuzzy socks and a gift set from Bath & Body Works!
Amber says
October 23, 2014 at 11:34 AMWhat up & up baby products are your favorite? I love their diapers my son is 16 months and I have never had an major blow outs in that entire time, we tried all the major brands and all the store brands and just kept coming back to the Up & Up ones and they are almost always the cheapest per diaper
What do you like to give for baby gifts?
I give my infamous no sweaty arm blanket. It’s quilters cotton on mom’s side and flannel print on baby’s side. I make a square as wide as the fabric comes (usually 44″) and just cut of selvage so it ends up abut 40 x 40″. Mom can hold baby all day long and not get the sweaty arm thing going on. And now that I have an embroidery machine I can embroider baby’s name on the blanket when I give it.
LeeAnn Bailey says
October 23, 2014 at 11:45 AMMy # 1 gift is always a hand quilted tummy time quilt that my mother has made. I am a pediatric nurse so I am heavily in to items that support growth and development. A couple of books too. I also like to get the travel sizes of the baby shampoo, baby bath products etc. I had not heard of Up and Up products before today and I am bummed since I went to a co-workers shower yesterday. Maybe a second gift needs to show up on her desk this next week.
Bridget Taylor says
October 23, 2014 at 12:15 PMUp and Up Wipes. My children are older, but I do have two grandsons.
Erin says
October 23, 2014 at 12:23 PMI often gift diapers (especially for friends who are expecting their second of third baby). I also can’t help myself with baby clothes – I always have to gift a cute little outfit!
Nicola says
October 23, 2014 at 12:27 PMMy favorite are the up&up wipes as well, they are great for baby but also wiping up small spills/cleaning hands, etc. My go-to gift for a baby shower is actually a mommy survival basket, filled with items to help keep mommy sane once the baby comes, including a bottle of champagne, a small bottle of asprin, a good book or dvd, my favorite lip balm, the coziest socks, etc. It generally gets personalized a bit based on the recipient. A happy mommy will be the best gift for new baby!
Alice Jackson says
October 23, 2014 at 1:08 PMWhen we were in the baby stage I did love the Target wipes as well. I actually still buy them too and when baby wipes appeared on my 6 year old’s school supply list, I bought the Target wipes for her to take to school.
I also like to go by what is on the registry but then I also do what I like to call “Reagan’s favorites” – things that my daughter loved when she was a baby such as a certain brand of socks that look like little shoes, diaper rash cream, baby puffs (Target brand of course!), a book and a blanket from Gymboree because they have the best blankets in my opinion.
Katie says
October 23, 2014 at 1:31 PMI’ve never tired Up & Up products but think I might try with my little one who is due soon. I love to give diapers/wipes because honestly you can’t have too many.

October 23, 2014 at 3:18 PMI typically try to stick to the registry but after visiting my best friend and her new bundle I found that over the head onesies are a pain … Ones the snap down the front or zip down the front are so much easier! If I go off registry, I will remember this!
Rana says

If it’s for someone closer to me then I buy tons of goodies in addition to the carseat cover. I love anything personalized to give as a gift. 🙂 I’m going to have to gift the UP and UP diapers to see how my friends like them. I’m jealous you found that bin/basket on clearance…I love those things!! 🙂
Maria says
October 23, 2014 at 4:27 PMI also have heard that the up & up diapers are good, so I stocked up on those and the wipes for our little one due in two weeks(!!!). I actually really like the up & up lotions! They smell great. I always give a personalized blanket with the child’s name on it. It’s funny to me now, because I love personalizing things with the baby name, but I haven’t done so for my own kid because we still haven’t decided on a name,
Amy says
October 23, 2014 at 5:01 PMI don’t have any children of my own, but some of my friends have commented on how much they like Up & Up diapers for their little ones.

October 27, 2014 at 2:23 PMI’m due with our first baby in December (a boy!) and have received all sorts of goodies from Target in preparation for the baby, including the Up and Up baby bath products. It occurred to me that we better have diapers and wipes on hand for when he does arrive (instead of rushing to the store after he arrives!), and after your review, I think Up and Up diapers and wipes are in my future.

November 1, 2014 at 1:19 PMBy far..up and up diapers are my favorite up and up baby item. The quality is just as good and sometimes even better than the other brands and so much cheaper! ! I also love to gift new parents with some homemade receiving blanlets. Thanks so much : )
Kristine says
November 1, 2014 at 1:54 PMWe use the up and up diaper pail refills, they work wonderful! We also use the up and up baby detergent, it smells great, cleans great, and last a long time!

My other friend just found out she is having a boy so I’m sure she wouldn’t mind having some of these goodies either! I’m baby-less at the moment but love all the tips on the Up and Up brand stuff so can’t wait to try them in the future!
Regan says
November 5, 2014 at 10:55 AMI am a believer in up&up diapers! Actual Husband quote: “They’re meant to hold poop…why would I buy an expensive brand??”
I like to give disposable changing pad covers (Munchkin brand) to use on top of your regular changing pad on public changing tables because newborns pee on everything, and I also liked an extra layer between my baby’s brand new immune system and those gross changing tables. Also, Johnson hand & face wipes, because they’re soft, wipe away germs, and smell sooo good.
Denise L says
November 5, 2014 at 1:37 PMI like the UP&UP OTC medicines. My son uses their version of children’s Zyrtec daily. As for baby gifts, I love to give baby gowns.

I love to make taggie lovies for baby gifts. I am so sad my sewing machine is on the fritz for my upcoming baby shower! Maybe I’ll get her something small and still deliver the lovey once the machine is working again!
Christy says

Caitlyn says
November 6, 2014 at 12:22 AMI have to say their wipes, lotion and baby wash are def my faves! I always buy their bath and body products for baby! there’s probably more that I buy that are up and up that I can’t even think of right now!
for a baby gift I like to give a set of clothes in each age group. A lot of ppl give newborn stuff so then ppl don’t have stuff for when the baby get’s older. same thing with bigger sized diapers.. we got a whole bunch of different size diaper packages for my shower and it helped so much to have different sizes on hand!

November 11, 2014 at 10:50 AMWe usually gift a bathtub and all the washing essentials. People don’t usually register for things like baby wash, and gifters seem to rather give cute clothes and toys. I am all about necessities, and we love the Up and Up brand! Their products are always good quality for a good price.
Once that’s done, I’ll usually throw in a handmade pacifier clip, pair of shoes, or door jammer to help close doors more quietly.
