A new baby! It’s one of life’s very biggest occasions — exciting, joyous and yes, a little anxious. And it also requires a lot of preparation because most new parents want everything to be perfect when their new arrival comes home. So newborn baby gifts are not only cute and fun to buy, they’re also super practical and helpful for the new parents. Baby gifts are a great opportunity to share the load and help them store up some much-needed supplies.

If you’re going to a baby shower or a gender reveal party, or heading to the hospital to meet the new baby girl or boy, you’re going to need some new baby gift ideas. Luckily, there are all sorts of essentials that will be gratefully received, such as clothing, swaddle blankets, baby towels, bibs, playmats and soft toys. Make sure you buy quality items made of organic and eco-friendly materials that will be soft and comfy on the little one’s sensitive skin.

When you’re buying baby clothes, consider the size. Newborns create a lot of washing so tiny items will be appreciated. Quality pieces can be washed and tumbled time and again without fear they’ll lose their shape or colour. If you prefer to buy pieces to fit baby when he or she is a few months older, remember that the season will be different by then, so choose somethings appropriately warm or cool to match the weather. Perhaps ask the parents what size they’re short on prior to choosing your baby presents, to avoid overloading one age stage.

Personalised baby gifts

They say it’s the thought that counts and a personalised gift shows how much consideration has gone into finding a gift that’s extra special to the family of the new arrival. Personalised baby clothes, blankets, artworks and toys make a lovely gift, and it’s never been easier to make your baby gift truly one of a kind. Personalisation reaches far beyond simple inscribing someone’s name — you can add times and dates, heartfelt messages and personal memories to gifts chosen with that new baby in mind. Remember, if you want to add a name, you’ll have to wait until after the baby is born to buy your personalised baby gift! Tip: When searching for the perfect baby gift, check the ‘Can be personalised’ box in Special features.

What are the top 10 new baby gift ideas?

  1. Baby gift hampers. Baby hampers and baby boxes make short work of the baby gift search because they include a combination of new baby essentials and cute keepsakes. You’ll find gender neutral baby hampers for a baby shower, or girl and boy themed baby hampers if you’re gifting with advance knowledge. Choose one that includes baby clothes, toys, bath-time goodies and something special just for mum.
  2. Baby blankets. Baby blankets are a unique gift because they come in all shapes, sizes, patterns, colours and fabrics. A soft and cosy blanket or baby wrap can be used as a swaddle in the crib or cot, but that’s just the start. New parents love to use blankets to lay baby down on the floor or in the park, to line a pram on a cool day, or as a comforter that becomes a special part of growing up.
  3. Nursery artworks and mobiles. Babies love to gaze at things around them and nursery décor is an important part of learning about their environment. An eye-catching picture or mobile can also soothe and calm at bedtime.
  4. Baby dressing gowns. A soft and comfy dressing gown or baby robe is perfect for wrapping and snuggling after bath time or baby’s first swim. Choose a cute animal design or have it personalised with baby’s name.
  5. Baby beanies and sunhats. It’s never too soon to protect baby from the elements. Baby sunhats and beanies are needed in multiples to match different outfits and weathers. And they are just too cute!
  6. Soft toys. Babies love to feel new textures and crocheted rattles, squishy animals and fabric comforters can help to develop sensory skills. Make sure soft toys are suitable for babies and don’t have small parts or loose fibres.
  7. Rompers and onesies. Everyone loves little onesies! One-piece outfits are great for new babies because they are stretchy, comfortable and safe (unlike a T shirt they won’t roll up or get tangled while baby sleeps. They are also super cute to buy.
  8. Playmats. Having a clean and comfy surface for a new baby to lie down is a must for parents. Choose a playmat that can be rolled up and popped in the bottom of the pram and they’ll think of you every time they use it.
  9. Baby booties. Knitted booties will keep baby’s feet warm in winter and protected from the sun in summer. Once baby is moving about, pre walking shoes, AKA cruisers, are a great way to get baby used to the feel of shoes, and protect and support little feet. New parents will love having them to bring out when baby is starting to explore.
  10. Baby books. It’s never too soon to start reading to a baby. Board books are a great way to explore the world of colours and animals, and a lovely part of baby’s routine. And new parents will thank you for not having to read the same one every day!
