Gifts for newborns

Useful and attractive gifts for a newborn

The birth of a child is a very special event and a major turning point in the lives of the new parents. It’s not just that there is suddenly a little person who needs love and care and who turns everyday life upside down. Parents also suddenly need many things that played no part in their pre‑parent life.

Gifts for a newborn are therefore not only a lovely tradition that allows family, friends, colleagues and neighbours to show their joy about the new arrival. They are often a genuine necessity and are gladly accepted by the parents.

Practical gifts for the nursery and for on the go

A cot and a changing table – the nursery doesn’t need any more furniture to begin with. What it does need, though, are lots of lovely little things for the baby to discover bit by bit. A mobile on the ceiling, for example, that captures the baby’s attention with bright colours and gentle movement. A music box with soothing melodies, a night light that creates a cosy low light at bedtime, or a soft play mat. For trips out, dummy and pram chains are popular small gift ideas for a birth or christening. JAKO-O also offers a lovely selection of gifts for a newborn or baby gifts.

First toys for the baby

In the very first weeks the baby doesn’t need toys, but it won’t be long before it reaches out for small toys such as grasping toys. These are available from HABA in many imaginative designs and with a variety of visual, acoustic and tactile effects. Just like rattles or the amusing roly‑poly toys, they gently stimulate the baby’s senses. Comfort blankets and small cloth books, first soft toys or soft dolls are further lovely gifts for a birth, christening or first birthday.
