Best gifts for new parents

Are you or do you know some parents who are expecting? Chip in together on meaningful, beautiful and useful gifts for their newborn baby.

 Audrey & Me Pram Liner For nice ‘décor’ on-the-go, personalise your plain black pram with one of these gorgeous 100% cotton cover and cushion pram liners. You can completely customise with whatever the new parents would like – start with the liner, then you can add on matching strap and bumper bar covers, make it double thickness, add a water proof layer, make it reversible, add head support, AND a matching foot muff.

 Hampsons Homewears Personalised Cushion Handmade with love, have newborn baby photo, your new baby’s name and birth date, or a combination of significant memories printed on a beautiful cotton or linen cushion. Made to order and a gorgeous keepsake (it’s a bit too nice to breastfeed with, but you do you), it’s a stylish, unique and nostalgic gift.

Little Manly Photography Gift Certificate We can’t go past suggesting a gift voucher for a photo session with Little Manly Photography – it could be for a maternity session before baby comes, or a newborn photo session. Gift vouchers can be used for any sessions, and they look like a beautiful gift to give – printed on thick card and posh envelope makes it look extra special. 

 Leander Matty Change Top In our ‘practical gift’ section, this solid but easy to move change mat transforms any safe flat surface into a change table. The sides prevent rolling and one mum said it was one of the best gifts she’d received pre-baby. It comes in six earthy pastel shades.

Pregnancy Massage at Wild Ginger Beauty What a treat to lie on your front in a special tummy-accommodating massage bed when you’re heavily pregnant! Relieve muscular tension, improve circulation and lymphatic function and have a relax at the same time. A beautiful gift to wind down before baby arrives. Wild Ginger Beauty has a soothing space in Curl Curl.

Rockit Rechargeable Portable Pram Rocker Hands-free device that attaches to your pram to gently rock your baby to sleep, or help them stay asleep. Perfect for home, a café or event, or at the park if you’re chasing after another child.
