I agree with the gift card because they all grow at different rates. I went through 2 boxes of newborn while some don't make it through the first.
I'm going diaper shopping this weekend at costco bc I heard its cheaper for big bulks of diapers lol
You don't need many new born maybe 1-2 bags or 1 box, might use 1's for 2-3 months after that so 2 large boxes would be the most I would buy of those, and 2's until 6-8 months old I think depending on how fast your baby grows. Some get chunky fast and others are skinny
You should just buy a gift certificate with all the money you plan to spend. Your baby could have an allergic reaction to the diapers you pick or could grow out of a size you buy a lot of. Id just buy one package of newborn diapers and if they work out then buy more at that time. Same with wipes!
