Swimming and Bath Toys

Most babies love water. And the ones that don’t, well, they still need to have a bath. So you can’t go wrong with swimming items and bath toys. Think along the lines of a sun hat, reusable swim nappies, a cute rash vest, a hooded beach towel for the beach trips. Soft bath toys or a towel with the baby’s name embroidered on it are great presents for bath time.

Our Pick: This cute one piece from Goldie and Ace

Soft Toys

When shopping for an infant under six months it’s best to go with soft, colourful toys. Ones that you can attach to the pram or car seat work great. A play mat, a soft material book or a teddy bear are also good gift ideas for wee ones.

Our Pick: This adorable JellyCat Koala from The Stork Nest

Clothing

You can find some pretty unique outfits for babies these days. However, most mums and dads will be bombarded with the standard onesies so look for something a little different. Handcrafted clothes are always thoughtful and beautiful to receive. Think baby socks, beanies, a set of bibs, a special dress. You can pick beautiful items up for cheap at local markets.

Our Pick: This cute little ‘My 1st Christmas’ Outfit from Patpat

Nursery Decor

Did Mum and Dad select a special theme for bub’s nursery? If you know the theme, then why not add to it with a night light, a personalized photo frame or wood letters to stick on the baby’s door. Other great gift items for a nursery include wall stickers, canvas prints, a mobile or a CD of soothing music or white noise to help lull bub to sleep.

Our Pick: The Skip Hop Terra Cry-Activated Soother from The Stork Nest

Developmental Toys

Even if baby can barely lift her head up yet, it won’t be long until she is ready to start reaching for things. Wooden puzzles, shape sorters and soft blocks are great first toys for baby’s first year. Often the simple wooden toys that do not require batteries are the most loved by babies.

Our Pick: This Play Cube Farm Centre from Lime Tree Kids

Unique Gift Sets

What do you get the baby that already has everything? How about something that is especially his? A baby hand or foot mould or a voucher for newborn/baby photography pictures is an excellent and personalized present, especially for a bub that has plenty of hand-me-down toys from his siblings.

Our Pick: This  adorable  Pearhead  Clear  Family  Print  Frame  from  The  Stork  Nestframe | Stay at Home Mum.com.au

A Travel Fund

One of my friends once started a travel fund for our little one. Every year she deposits $25 into a bank account that she took out just for him. It’s not much but by the time he turns 18 or 20, he can use the money to pay for accommodation or tour bookings. Her only stipulation he must use it to travel somewhere special and exotic. Sounds pretty good to me!

Our Pick: A Personalised Piggy Bank from Etsy
