Himalaya Baby Care Gift Basket

Hello Beauties,
Would like to introduce you all to this wonderful baby care gift basket from Himalaya Baby Care Gift Series.
LOL, No I don't have a kiddo yet, this gift basket belongs to my Niece.

When a new baby comes along, you want to buy a gift to welcome him into the world. There are many items that parents find essential to have when caring for a baby. From bath essentials to swaddle blankets, there are plenty of unique gifts to choose from.



Baby gift baskets are ideal presents for baby showers. Many baskets are filled with essential items of baby care that cover a wide range of needs for new parents, as well as nonessential items, decorations and clothing.


Personal care items are small gifts perfect for placing in a baby shower wishing well. Baby products such as shampoo, body wash, and baby lotions and oils are items commonly placed in a wishing well.

Himalaya has like 7 types of baby care gift sets in their Baby Care Gift Series & this Gift Basket is one among those that I'm sharing with you all. The product review is based on my Sister-in- Law's experience. Hope my post helps someone who is looking for such a basket with all those essential items for baby care. 


Price: Rs.575


The contents of the Himalaya Baby Care Gift Basket are


1. Himalaya Moisturising Baby soap(115g): Mild and soothing soap that replenishes lost moisture while cleansing baby's skin gently. Enriched with Olive oil, which is rich in Vitamin A and E, and Almond that moisturizes the skin and is an excellent source of Vitamin D.

Ingredients Include:
Olive Oil (Olea europaea)
Almond (Prunus amygdalus)


The  Almond Oil in the soap makes the skin super soft & moisturised, Olive Oil makes the skin healthy & hydrated. My Sister-in- Law liked this so much that she got a replacement as soon as she finished the soap from the basket. She says the soap doesn't dry-out the baby skin, it lasts long because it doesn't get soggy at all. It has a mild fragrance, smells like any other regular baby soap, as soon as my niece comes out of the bathroom I can sense a mild fragrance which isn't too-overwhelming. A baby's skin is very delicate, any product which is scented may harm the skin, since this is mild it works for my niece.


2. Himalaya Gentle Baby Shampoo(200ml): A specially formulated mild shampoo that gently cleanses the hair making it soft, shiny and easy to manage. Does not cause tears in the babies. Hibiscus extract softens, conditions the hair, natural proteins from Chickpea give shine and healthy shaft, and Khus-Khus cools the scalp.

Ingredients Include:

Rice (Oryza sativa)

Bengal gram (Cicer arietinum)

Shoe-Flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)

Vetiver, Khas-Khas (Vetiveria zizanioides)

Sometimes I bathe my niece & have noticed that only a dime size amount is good enough to wash her hair. It lathers well enough & rinses out easily & since it has all the natural ingredients, isn't too scented. Also, noticed it doesn't cause any irritation or tears. The 200ml bottle in the basket will last for at least 2-3 months. A definite repurchase!

3. Himalaya Baby Lotion(200ml): A gentle lotion specially formulated to restore the tender skin's natural beauty, leaving the skin soft and supple. It is enriched with Almond oil that restores skin moisture, Olive oil, which improves skin lustre, and Yashtimadhu and Country mallow, which soothe the skin.

Ingredients Include:

Country Mallow (Sida cordifolia)

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Tinospora Gulancha (Tinospora cordifolia)

Olive Oil (Olea europaea)

Almond (Prunus amygdalus) 

My Niece's skin is extremely dry & as soon as she finishes her bath, the lotion is applied to lock in moisture & it does deliver what it claims. It provides deep nourishment & keep her skin soft & supple, however the smell is too over-powering for a kid. This is one of the products from the basket that is too scented. I don't think my Sister-in-Law will repurchase this because products with strong fragrance don't suit her baby.

Himalaya Baby Cream(50ml): A specially formulated soft cream for dry cheeks, tender nose, rubbed elbows and knees. Olive oil, enriched with Vitamin E ensures that your baby's skin is healthy and lustrous. Country mallow, an antioxidant and Yashti madhu protect and soothe your baby's skin.

Ingredients Include:

Country Mallow (Sida cordifolia)

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Tinospora Gulancha (Tinospora cordifolia)

Olive Oil (Olea europaea)

This is also has a mild fragrance & does its job well. You would just need 2-3 tiny dots for the entire face, can be used either during the day or night, however it is advised avoid the area around the eyes. It definitely worth the penny.

Himalaya Baby Powder(200g): A specially formulated cooling talcum powder that helps in excess sweating and relieving itching on the baby's tender skin, besides controlling the body odour. The baby powder contains natural zinc that has antiseptic properties and accelerates healing, sandalwood extract that cools and Olive oil that nourishes the baby's tender skin.

Ingredients Include:

Zinc calx (Yashad bhasma)

Sandalwood (Santalum album)

Vetiver, Khas-Khas (Vetiveria zizanioides)

Olive Oil (Olea europaea)

This is my favourite among the products in the basket, it smell so nice & not too-overpowering I guess because of the presence of Khas Khas which is know to provide cooling effect, my Sister-in-Law usually uses this when changing nappies or after bath. More than the baby her aunt( me :-) ) loves it a lot. Though it's huge 200g pack, definitely repurchasing it once it gets over.

Himalaya Diaper Rash Cream(20g): A specially formulated mild cream that treats rashes, inflammation and irritation caused due to rubbing of diapers against baby’s soft skin. Five-leaved chaste tree extract relieves pain, Zinc calx aids in healing the rashes, Aloe vera and Almond oil soothe the skin.

Ingredients Include:

Zinc calx (Yashad bhasma)

Barbados Aloe (Aloe Vera)

Almond (Prunus amygdalus)

Five-Leaved Chaste Tree (Vitex negundo)

Indian Madder (Rubia cordifolia)

My niece or for that matter any other baby doesn't like to be in nappies for longer duration, kids sometimes develop nappy rash & this rash cream works well in treating that. The cream smell like an Ayurvedic cream & is mild on the skin. It takes care of the rash & keeps the skin hydrated & free from irritation. This is definitely a must have for babies.

Himalaya Gentle Baby Wipes(72s): Made with hypoallergenic formula and containing natural ingredients like Aloe Vera and Indian Lotus, the wipes are the ideal choice for cleansing babies' delicate skin. The wipes gently clean and moisturize a baby's skin, and are pleasantly scented.

Ingredients Include:

Aloe vera (Barbados Aloe)

Indian Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)

These are gentle wipes to clean babies, they have mild fragrance & are very soft to use. They are very handy & can be carried by moms in their mommy bags to use anytime anywhere! I observed that over a period of time, the sticker that has to be peeled to get the wipes out, doesn't work & the wipes start getting dry. It is a must have in a mommy's bag.

Final Word: This is a very useful gift for a baby & the mother, it has all things that a baby needs! A perfect gift when you are in a hurry & can't pick any other item like clothes or baby bed sets because you don't have to look through so many things to find the color or quality you want, you just have to go to the nearest super market & grab it. It has a perfect packaging & looks cute in a baby's room. Also, there are other Himalaya Baby Care Gift packs that'll suit everybody's budget.
