The superstar couple want to give the majority of items to those less fortunate, Contactmusic reported.

"They've been sent literally hundreds of gifts in the past few days. Oprah Winfrey gave a huge trunk of children's books and others like P Diddy, Kanye West, Rihanna and Mariah Carey have all been sending luxurious baby treats.

"Jay-Z and Beyonce have decided to donate a massive selection of the presents to local charities for young mothers. They've already got the most precious giftu00a0- their new baby daughteru00a0- so they want to help out other parents who haven't been as fortunate," a source said.

Meanwhile, Blue has become the youngest person ever to appear on the Billboard charts. The tot's coos, cries and breathing can be heard on Jay-Z's new song, 'Glory', which was recorded 48 hours after her birth.
