What Should Taylor Swift Gift the New Kelce Baby?

Kylie Kelce has welcomed her fourth daughter, baby Finnley! Which means Uncle Travis and Aunt Taylor are visiting soon, right? 

On The Toast, Jackie and Claudia Oshry discussed the fact that Travis “met” baby Finnley for the first time virtually while recording his podcast New Heights with big brother Jason. Apparently, “Uncle Trav” hadn’t made his way to Pennsylvania to meet baby Finn (born March 30), as he appeared to be standing “in front of an ornate barn door” while shooting the podcast. As Jackie points out, “He doesn’t have to be the first one there. This is their fourth child. I do think people get less and less hyped up.”

Whenever Traylor finally does make it to Philadelphia for the meet-and-greet with Finn, what gift should they bring? Jax and Clauds have strong opinions on this question, especially with Claudia about to have a baby herself. 

What Should Taylor Swift Gift the New Kelce Baby?

“I don’t think Kylie would want an Hermes blanket. I think she would literally hate that,” says Jackie.

Claudia agrees, adding, “Honestly no, because she has everything for babies because she has three.”

Instead, the Toast suggests that Taylor should go hyper-personal with the gift, maybe leaning into her love of baking. “Baking for her, bringing her something. I think that’s what Taylor could do. I think that’s like the nicest thing you could do for someone. It’s like, nurture the mother!” says Jackie. “Come over and cook, that would be the best thing to do. Come do the dishes, what if you just unloaded the laundry?”

“I wouldn’t expect that from anyone other than real family,” says Claudia. 

But it got us thinking: What is the best “gift” you can bring to a new mom?

“If someone wants to bring me over a pot of soup, that’s amazing,” says Claudia, though she has an important caveat. “But make sure to clean the pot when you’re done!”

In fact, says Claudia, “A lot of my anxiety about being postpartum has to do with the fact that my apartment will be messy, because that’s just like not something I can handle.”

Honestly, this isn’t just good advice for new mom gifts. Sometimes the absolute best thing you can do to take care of someone is…. literally take care of them. We’ve all had moments where we felt so overwhelmed that the “life admin” of cooking and cleaning fell to the wayside. If you have an opportunity to step up, try going the tangible, concrete route, instead of giving them a gift or a card.

“If you are a person in my life who’s close to me who probably will be invited over, let this be your message,” says Clauds. “Don’t bring stuff. I don’t need more crap in my house. Don’t bring me a gift basket. Bring a broom and a mop and just roll up your sleeves and get to work.”

Whatever Taylor and Travis contribute to welcome baby Finnley, Jackie and Claudia wish the Kelces a hearty “Mazel tov.”
