A new baby gift should be useful, safe and easy to enjoy straight away. Avoid anything that makes health or sleep claims; parents often have strong preferences there, and safety guidance changes.
How to choose
- Stick to soft, washable things and keepsakes. Leave feeding, medical and sleep-positioning items to the parents.
- Newborns outgrow clothes in weeks, so consider the next size up or a larger size than newborn.
- Something for the parents, such as a meal voucher or a treat, is often the most appreciated gift.
