Choosing baby gifts

Good presents for a baby are soft, safe and practical, and they last beyond the first few weeks. Check the age guidance on each listing, choose a size or two ahead, and pick fabrics that wash easily. Neutral colours suit any baby and look good in photos. If you know the family well, ask what they are short of, as many parents receive lots of tiny outfits and few practical extras. Mama Bamboo, Silvan Skincare and Wild & Stone make many of the gifts here. Each brand was checked for what its products are made from and how clearly it says so.

Baby clothes and muslins

Mama Bamboo makes luxury bamboo muslins, bamboo sleepsuits and babygrows, and a soft bamboo baby hairbrush. Leiho makes yellow smiley bamboo socks for babies and a matching baby and me socks set. SilverGuard makes an organic cotton hooded baby towel that wraps round after bath time. These make easy baby girl gifts and baby gifts for boys alike, as most come in soft, neutral colours.

Weaning, teething and bath time

Wild & Stone makes a bamboo weaning bowl and spoon set, a suction plate set and a natural rubber elephant teether. Green Island makes a baby bowl and spoon set and a hippo silicone teething ring, and Mama Bamboo makes a bamboo weaning set. For bath time, Vove makes baby konjac sponges and Sintra Naturals makes a Little Warriors top to toe massage oil. SKNFED makes a newborn baby balm. Patch test any new product first, and ask your health visitor about anything for a baby's skin.

Luxury baby gifts and a first Christmas

For something special, Sintra Naturals makes a Little Warriors newborn gift set, and Habulous makes a sun, moon and stars hanging decoration by hand, which suits a baby's first Christmas. Silvan Skincare makes a Mum to Be skincare bundle for the parent. Wrap presents in tissue and a reusable bag, and keep the receipt in case a size needs swapping. New Baby Gifts has presents for newborns, Baby Clothing has more baby clothes, Feeding & Weaning has weaning sets, and Eco-friendly activities for kids that are actually fun has ideas for later on.
