Below we have put together a number of helpful tips and ideas for baby presents that should help you find a suitable gift.

Presents for newborn babies - Tips for a successful gift

A popular option for a birth present is contributing to the layette. Here it is helpful to know what actually they already have or coordinate with other friends and relatives. Also a very nice idea is creative commemorative gifts that depict the wonderful time during the first years in the child's life. First toys can also prove to be a popular choice. Ideally you will pick a useful learning toy that doesn't make much noise. Cuddly toys are less appealing items. They tend to exist in abundance and are frequently not really appreciated. Musical boxes are another common gift and don't really show much thought being put into the present. How about instead opting for a great gift voucher? A creative present which can be used immediately is a personalized dummy chain that you can design individually.

The dummy chain

Chains for dummies are useful little helpers that are attached with a small clip to a romper or other clothes item ensuring it doesn't fall to the floor when it is not needed. This also helps prevent the dummy from being lost and won't come into contact with dirty floors with potential germs.

As a positive side effect the loyal companion is also a colourful toy that is sure to grab the baby's attention and played with. In our online shop you can find everything that you need to design your individual dummy chain. With ease you will be able to create a wonderful welcoming present.

First initial stock

The parents usually take care of the basics during the pregnancy period. Essential items such as the cot, changing table, pushchair, baby seat, cushion etc. should already be in place before the due date and are often a question of personal preference.

Sweet little rompers, body suits, socks, hats and further clothing are however - particularly for the first child - an ideal present. Less original but an equally useful gift are nappies. Cleverly arranged as a diaper cake they are sure to be a pleasing visual highlight. If you are looking to make a more substantial contribution then you are probably best advised to ask the parents what they might need. You can gift a bath tub, bath bucket, a personalized bottle set, a play rug or other things and will know the present is actually needed and will be used.

If you are looking to give your gift a particular individual character then creativity will be needed. But don't be put off, as even if you are not the biggest crafts person it is quite simple to find a wonderful and very personal present. You can for example buy a photo album that you add a dedication or you creatively design the cover. The parents will be very much appreciative of a wellness voucher and you can volunteer for babysitting at the same time. A great gift idea to create by yourself is also the baby's first toy.

Gifts for birth - practical and useful

Useful gifts are always appropriate. It will not only be a present the new parents of the newborn will highly appreciate but it will also support them in their new role. Gift vouchers are always a good option. Away from traditional vouchers there is of course the option of also being creative. Why not give a voucher for a full cleaning of the apartment that you do together with friends? Books, little helping assistances or gifts revolving around breast-feeding are good present ideas. A real evergreen amongst gifts are toys. Here though it is worth applying caution. A loud toy or one of several cuddly toys you might irritate the parents. Here also think practically.
