Gift Ideas for a New Baby

If there’s a new baby in your life, you’re probably thinking of sentimental gifts you can buy to celebrate the birth. Ideally, you’ll make life easy for the parent and treat the baby to something nice at the same time. Here are a few ideas if you’re not sure of what to buy for a new baby:

Sophie the Giraffe

Sophie the giraffe has been praised by moms all over the world for keeping their little ones happy and quiet. The teething toy can be used at just a few weeks old. The colour, smell, and pattern on the toy helps them to develop their senses, and of course the material can soothe their gums. This is a great gift for a new baby!

Scratch Sleeves

Scratch sleeves are great for babies that can’t seem to stop scratching. Sometimes, they can end up with red, angry marks on their arms and faces. Mittens are good, but that can fall off or baby can pull them off. Scratch sleeves can be a saviour in these situations!

A Gift Basket Filled With Diapers and Other Essentials

Why not put together a gift basket? Fill it with lots of essentials - the amount of things you need you have a new baby can be overwhelming. Something like this really helps a new mom! Fill it with diapers, baby wipes, bibs, pacifiers, and more. Anything little item you think will help out!

A Play Gym

A play gym is another great gift for a baby. With a play gym, they can lie down and enjoy lots of different shapes, colors, and materials! This will keep them entertained for hours. See more gift ideas here.

Baby Books

Baby books can introduce babies to books at an early age. They will usually make sounds and include lots of different textures to help baby’s develop.

A Photo Album

A photo album is a great gift, as the parents can fill it with pictures from their baby’s first years. This can be a lovely keepsake and the baby can look back at it when they’re a little older!

Personalized Silver Gifts

A personalized silver gift can be kept for a lifetime, so it’s a lovely keepsake to give. You can get plate sets, spoons, cups, and more.

A Personalized Piece of Art

Why not get a personalized piece of art to display in the baby’s bedroom or playroom? Include their name, weight, place of birth, and any other relevant information in a pretty format.

A Stuffed Animal

You can’t go wrong with a stuffed animal. Many stuffed animals are treasured by their owners forever too, so the baby could keep this well into adult years!

Ready to go shopping for the new baby? If you’re still in doubt, just buy a nice outfit. Babies will always need clothes, with the mess they can get themselves into several times a day!
