Finding Useful Keepsake Gifts for New Parents and their Newborn Baby

Welcoming a newborn into the family is a wonderful moment that all family and friends want to be part of. Picking out something fresh and unique that is both a perfect gift for the baby and, at the same time, appreciated by the proud new parents, is an intriguing task to complete successfully. Family and friends are interested in purchasing presents that don’t end up as garbage in the nursery or cluttering the new parents’ home. Consequently, when choosing these presents you need to get creative and be looking to bring together something that shows your thoughtfulness and consideration in finding a memorable gift that not just celebrates the new arrival but also has a practical element. Part of our team at Baby Box Shop are mums and grandma’s whose experience has created a range of what they believe to be the most useful baby gifts for new mums and dads. Guided by affordability, uniqueness, practicality and ultimately the ability to create memories that will turn into precious memories. Whether you want to find something that matches the baby’s gender or you need something gender neutral that works for a baby boy or baby girl or can be taken to the gender reveal party, we’ve got all the choice you need right here.

Practical Newborn Essentials Gifts

The truth of the matter is how many gifts does a newborn baby need? Teddies and toys are great but new parents will also appreciate the practical things that will help them with their never ending to do list. Our top recommended useful gifts:
  • Hooded Towel & Washcloth Sets: Whether it's bathing or showering, soft hooded towels and washcloths will help parents to spend much less time preparing for the day ahead.
  • Bib & Burp Cloth Sets: Convenient for mufti-purpose feeding, and controlling messy spit-ups.
  • Swaddle Starter Kit: Tired parents can depend on Baby Box Shop’s swaddle blankets, cellular blankets and muslins to keep their little one comfy, dry and snug.
  • Bathing essentials like shampoo, bubble bath, moisturizing body lotion and a comb & brush set.

Unisex Newborn Gifts That Are All Unique

Many parents still choose not to discover the gender of their baby until it is born and, in these circumstances, will be happy to receive gifts in the early stages that are gender neutral colours and patterns. Standout unisex gifts for gender reveal parties or baby showers:
  • Milestone Cards: Marking every stage of the baby’s development from the day they arrived to their first Christmas, mark the occasion with a photo of the baby next to the appropriate milestone card!
  • Welcome Baby Basket: This cute basket is filled with a cosy waffle blanket, teddy bear, layette set, booties and much more - almost too nice to unwrap!
  • Bathtime Gift Set: Hooded towel, no tears baby soap, shampoo, sweet-smelling baby lotion.

Keepsake Gifts to Cherish

Beyond necessities, commemorative keepsakes become precious mementoes for parents to treasure their baby's first days, weeks and months. Meaningful newborn gift ideas that families revisit again and again include:
  • Personalised blanket embroidered with the baby’s name and date of birth
  • A teddy bear or animal themed comforter embroidered with their initials
  • Handprint/Footprint Keepsake Kit: Perfect for capturing baby's tiny prints as an everlasting memory.
  • Custom designed photo frames for a baby girl or baby boy
  • A hanging plaque with a loving message to hang in the nursery or on the cot
