Looking for a new baby gift and unsure what to buy?
I am often asked about what is the best new baby gift. Firstly have you spoken to the new parents and asked what they want and need and then remember that whatever you decide to buy, you need to like it, as it is a gift from you.
Many people decide to buy a baby sleepsuit as it's practical and cute. We all love a newborn sized sleepsuit as they are so small, but often a new parent is inundated with lots of newborn sizes which don't last that long. So have you ever thought about buying a 0-3 month or 3-6 month sleepsuit instead as the new parents will have less of these and they will definitely be used. (A 0-3 month sleepsuit is big enough for a 14lb baby, whereas a newborn sized sleepsuit usually lasts up to a 7-10lb baby).
If you are thinking of a soft toy make sure that they are suitable from birth. Our bestsellers are activity cubes that have mirrors, crinkly fabrics, pictures and a rattle. These can be used straight away and often past crawling age so will get lots of use. A soft toy or teddy bear are always a big hit and something that will be cherished as they little one grows up. Comforters and teethers are also a big hit as they are practical as well as being something that the little one can play with, beyond those early days.
If you are looking for a gift that is unusual or something more for the parents have you considered a memory box, to keep details of all those special firsts in?
Pram gloves are also a really fabulous gift, something to keep the parents warm whilst on outdoor adventures and can also be used by grandparents alike as they explore the outdoors with their grandchild.
