Top list: Best presents for a new baby
Has your friend just had a new addition to the family? Or perhaps one of your siblings has a new baby! Why not celebrate the arrival of a baby with a baby gift – and maybe get one for the parents too? We’ve made a top list of the best baby shower gift ideas, both for the little one and for the exhausted parents.
Having a baby is quite an event, whether it is the first one or the fifth. It’s nice to give a present to a newborn baby, but it can be difficult to find something that feels just right. That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you and found the finest baby presents for our top list.
Sophie the Giraffe
Sophie the giraffe has been a popular baby gift since the 60's. Made of natural rubber from the Hevea tree with completely harmless colouring, Sophie is a safe and bite-friendly baby toy, which also makes a discreet noise if hugged. Perfect for the baby when he or she starts to teethe, as it gives the infant something to gnaw on.
Ergonomic baby sling
An ergonomic sling can save tired backs, especially when the baby wants to be close at all times. We like the Ergobaby Omni 360 All in One, which is easy to use. The padded shoulder straps are comfortable, and the waist belt helps to relieve the load effectively.
Children’s tableware
Children's tableware is a really classic baby gift. Even if it’s not yet time for a newborn to be eating solid food, time passes quickly and durable tableware will soon come into its own. Bear in mind that it this will often end up on the floor, so even if porcelain is lovely to look at, silicone is much more durable.
