Not sure what baby gift to choose?
Answer three quick questions about who you're buying for, your budget and the type of gift you'd like to give. Our Baby Gift Finder will narrow down our range and recommend gifts to suit them.
Need a little help choosing?
Choosing a gift for a new baby isn't always easy, especially when you're not sure what the parents already have or how much to spend. Here are a few pointers to help you decide.
Our Baby Gift Finder narrows down the choice based on three simple things: who you're buying for, how much you'd like to spend and the type of gift you'd like to give.
Answer the three quick questions above and we'll recommend a small selection of gifts from our range that best match what you're looking for.
There's no set amount you need to spend on a new baby gift. Your relationship with the parents is usually the best guide.
For a colleague or acquaintance, £20–£40 can be plenty for a thoughtful gift. Close friends and family may choose to spend £40–£75 or more, while grandparents or groups buying together often choose a larger gift.
What matters most is choosing something that feels appropriate for the recipient rather than simply spending more.
For a colleague, we'd usually recommend something thoughtful, useful and beautifully presented without being too personal.
If you're buying individually, a smaller baby gift or hamper can work particularly well. If several colleagues are contributing, you could choose a larger hamper or gift box together. And if you don't know the baby's sex or the parents' tastes, choosing something neutral is an easy option.
Use the Baby Gift Finder above and select “A colleague” to see our recommendations.
When it's a second or subsequent baby, the parents may already have many of the practical newborn essentials, so think about choosing something that feels special for this baby.
A personalised keepsake, blanket, book or toy can give the new arrival something of their own. Alternatively, a gift that includes a little something for the parents can be a lovely way to celebrate the whole family.
Don't worry about finding the one “perfect” present. If you genuinely aren't sure what the parents would like, choose “I'm not sure – show me your bestsellers” in our Baby Gift Finder and we'll narrow down some of our most popular options for you.
If you'd rather let the parents choose for themselves, a Baby Hamper Company gift voucher is another easy option.
