Giving First-Size Baby Clothes As A Gift
When people hear the fantastic news that someone is expecting a baby their first instinct is to buy a gift to congratulate them. Many people opt for an outfit, excited at the prospect of seeing the new bundle of joy wearing something they’ve picked.
However, new parents are often inundated with newborn clothes. It may be beneficial to ask expecting parents what it is they need before rushing into making a gift choice.
Newborns usually spend the first few months of their lives in multiple sleepsuits a day, outfit changes during the early days are a given. So if you’re wanting to get newborn items soft onesies and sleepsuits are a great option.

The colour lemon looks great on all newborns. Our Lemon Cable Knitted Onesie is perfect for the cooler months. Made with 100% acrylic the best synthetic material for heat retention.
If you know the mum-to-be already has a nursery full of newborn baby clothes, but you still want to get them an outfit. We recommend working out what season it’ll be when the baby is 0-3 and 3-6 months old and buying outfits in these sizes.

Practical gifts are a great option. Don’t be afraid to ask expecting parents what they need. These gifts are often the most appreciated as they will get used on a daily basis and save them money and time searching for the item themselves.
Changing mats whilst being a useful gift can also complement the decor of a nursery. We stock a range of beautiful changing mats from the trusted brand Gildred Bird. Team with nappies, cotton wool balls, and nappy bags to help prepare for the new arrival.
Night lights and sleep aids can help little ones sleep more soundly at night.
