Gifts

New parents want things they'll use every day that make their lives easier, like warm blankets, swaddles, muslins, bibs, bath towels, sleepsuits, swaddle wraps, baby grows and onesies. Practical convenience items like sleep aids or bottle sterilisers are a great choice for parents who have the basics covered. For more sentimental baby gifts, opt for keepsakes like milestone cards, record books and photo frames to help parents preserve cherished early moments and create lasting memories. Personalised baby gifts like blankets and sustainable wooden name blocks also make excellent gifts. If you're not sure what the parents already have, a thoughtful gift voucher is always an excellent option.

New mums need rest, pampering and convenience above all else. When browsing gifts for new mums, consider soft and comfortable pyjamas made with organic cotton, postpartum toiletries, self-care products or even food delivery gift cards to help make life easier while she settles in at home with her new arrival. You could also consider something outside the box like hiring a house cleaning service or a voucher for a professional newborn photo session.

The best gifts for toddlers are often toys that spark their imagination, facilitate role play, and inspire creativity, like push-along toys and activity centres to support them learning to walk. Books, dolls, activity toys, plush toys, drawing tablets and educational toys are all excellent options if you're looking for gifts a toddler will love, and teddy bears can be a sentimental gift they carry for years. For more practical gifts, consider silicone suction plates to help prevent spills during mealtime, plastic-free dining sets or a stylish new outfit.

When a new arrival is on the way, older siblings can feel a bit left out, so it's a great idea for friends and family members to get them a small gift to let them know you're thinking of them. Small, thoughtful presents like soft toys, books, activity toys and games can help mark the occasion and ensure big siblings don't feel left out.

Someone who is having a baby will appreciate gifts that make pregnancy more comfortable, such as pregnancy pillows and self-care products, or newborn baby gifts for when it's time to bring home their new arrival, including baby essentials like muslins or bodysuits. If you want your gifts to focus on mum, postpartum care products like nursing pillows or comfy pyjamas make late-night feeds more comfortable.

You should expect to spend between £30 and £200 on a newborn gift. You may spend less if the gift is for a co-worker, a casual friend or an acquaintance, or more if it's for a close friend or family member. This will depend on your personal circumstances, and there's no set rule for how much you should spend. As long as your baby gift is thoughtful and practical, it'll stand out—and you shouldn't worry about the price tag.

Newborns always need baby clothing, muslins, swaddle wraps, bodysuits, baby grows and blankets. Muslins are always handy to keep around, since they're used for feeding, swaddling and cleaning, and parents will be surprised how many times a day they change their baby's clothes. For toys, high-contrast black and white playmats and soft toys are great gifts for newborns because they promote visual development early on. You could also consider practical nursery accessories like night lights, mobiles, photo frames or white noise machines.

Some of the best gifts for a newborn are baby clothes. A nice gift set with a bundle of onesies, a cute outfit, or several pairs of socks can make for the perfect present if you're not sure what to buy for a new arrival. However, parents often receive a lot of newborn clothes as baby gifts, so they would probably appreciate if you got a bigger size that their new baby girl or boy can grow into. Consider shopping for a size up (or two) so the little one has more clothes to wear when they grow out of the newborn phase—which is shorter than you'd expect!
