bundles of joy

Newly arrived infants

Bundles of joy is a sentimental expression for babies or newborns.

The phrase emphasizes the happiness a child brings: The couple welcomed their little bundle of joy last Tuesday.

Often used in birth announcements and greeting cards, it can sound saccharine in casual conversation.

The singular bundle of joy is more common.
