It’s time to settle into the gifting season. We know that this period can feel like it creeps up on you, and time disappears, so to combat that we’ve curated a list to prepare you. This includes some must- haves, a few ‘wants but don’t need’s’, and some unnecessary but oh-so-cute present ideas. So, whether it’s for your sister’s newborn, a best friend that’s expecting, or even your own little one, we’ve made sure you won’t be short of gifting ideas in the coming months.
Wooden Quality Gifts
A wooden toy makes a perfect present that stands the test of time, either for a first Christmas, or if you’re looking for something that will compliment your home. We love My First Years Ultimate Doll’s House gift set, or Tidlo’s Wooden fire station and Fire Engine Toy Bundle. For a piece that grows with your baby, try our Little Hoppa 3-in-1, from baby gym to bouncer and activity table!
Shoes and accessories
Baby socks and shoes are undoubtedly very cute- especially when they are fluffy like Mamas and Papas bunny slippers, or seasonally themed, like their set with Christmas puddings on- they are a perfect little stocking filler, or grab a pair of Baby Uggs from Harrods!
Personalised items
A timeless gift that can go from functional to become a part of the nursery, there are lots of great options out there now, from pillows, to pyjamas or cushions and blankets, that will be kept for years to come. Or for something to revisit in toddler and reading age, get a personalised book, like one from Wonderbly!
Pjs / matching clothing (Claude and co etc)
You can't go wrong with a cozy set of PJs! Both practical & festive- from reindeer onesies to a cute matching set for the whole family. We love a pair from Chelsea Peers for an adorable Christmas gift, or Cozy Crew Club.
Imaginative play sets
Toddler age is when interest starts to slowly grow for the things around them- as they want to be involved in your activities and have their own role. There are plenty of imaginative play sets available to help encourage and develop these behaviours, like My First Years wooden Kitchen and washing machine set, or their wooden doctors kit!
Teething Gift set
Keep the parents prepared for those first teeth coming through with a teething gift set. We love the starter sets from Matchstick Monkey, they come in a range of colours and make the perfect gift, chose from peach, olive or light blue!
Baby play gyms aren’t just cute they build skills, make tummy time easier, and give you a breather. Discover why wooden, multi-stage gyms like Little Hoppa are parent favourites.
