Midnight Feeding Care Box, $125
Make sure your friends are well-fed with this gift basket specifically designed for new parents. It includes pastries and other grab-and-go bites like natural apple gummies and Marcona almonds.
Bakehouse Sampler, $45
This gift box includes Zingerman's favorite baked goodies—think, coffee cake, walnut brownies, and pecan blondies. Yum! Zingerman's says this sampler serves 6 to 8 people, but we suspect a new mom and dad could polish off these snacks without any help at all.
