    The perfumes were for covering up the scent of death and the gold was to buy a tomb. These wisemen were basically told “go find the baby so I may kill it”, and the gifts were “sorry for you upcoming loss.”

    Also, Jesus was 3 years old by they time they got there, so baby stuff probably wouldn’t have been a good present.
