With our new arrival of Avery Row blankets in our Nottinghamshire baby store we thought it was high time that we shared with you our wonderful collection of newborn products. One of the most popular gift requests we have in our Nottinghamshire children's gift store is for newborn gift ideas. So below we are sharing with you some of our favourite products as well as our top advice for buying a gift for a newborn.
What to buy for a newborn
Buying a gift for a newborn can be a hard thing to do. You don't know this little person yet and they are likely to be receiving many gifts at the same time. When we have people shopping in store for newborn gifts we can ask lots of questions and offer lots of advice. So here are a few suggestions that we think are useful when you are buying a gift for a newborn online, along with a couple of newborn gift suggestions from our beautiful range too.
Newborn Gift Ideas - Something they need
This is usually something practical and often well received. It will be an item that you can never have too many of as a new parent, such as baby blankets, muslin cloths, baby grows or dummies. Gifting these items with beautiful designs from sustainable children's brands will ensure they are much loved as well as much used items.
Here are our suggestions for practical (yet beautiful) newborn gifts...
The most beautiful baby blankets you will ever see. Light weight and breathable with a delicate embroidered detail. This is the ultimate baby blanket gift.
If you are going to use endless muslins they may as well be stylish. We love the bold dots on these Liewood muslin cloths and know they would be a much loved gift.
An essential made beautiful with these Bibs dummies. A great practical gift for newborns.
Newborn Gift Ideas - Something to play with
As a newborn, play is not going to be big on agenda just yet, but a gift for stimulation or movement is a great idea.
It isn't long before they are taking in the world around them and these sensory books are a great way to help stimulate baby.
This musical cat from Liewood is a cute addition to any cot with its soothing lullaby.
A beautiful play mat makes a gorgeous and helpful gift. Providing hours of tummy time and rolling practice for baby.
Newborn Gift Ideas - Something to love
A comforter or item to snuggle is a wonderful gift for a newborn. Something they can treasure and grow up loving and something they will cuddle every night has got to be one of the most wonderful gifts you could give.
