Gift ideas for Baby

Memory and milestone journals, blankets and swaddles, soft toys, keepsake boxes and nursery pieces for new babies and their tired parents. Keepsakes stand out most, and a Write To Me journal will still be read in twenty years.

Buying for a new baby is really buying for the parents, who have more muslin cloths than they will ever use and are running on four hours of sleep. The gift that stands out is the one nobody else thought of.

Keepsakes do best. A memory journal someone will still be reading in twenty years beats another set of onesies by a distance. So does a beautiful blanket, a soft toy chosen with actual thought, or the thing for the nursery shelf that makes the room feel finished. Aim for something they would not buy themselves and would be quietly thrilled to receive.

Our baby gifts cover memory and milestone journals, blankets and swaddles, soft toys, keepsake boxes and nursery pieces. If you are decorating the room rather than gifting, our nursery range is the better place to start.

What should I buy for a baby shower?
Something for the parents as much as the baby. A Write To Me Bump Pregnancy Journal, a Baby Memory Journal or a Lily & George comforter are thoughtful choices that will not duplicate the nappies and onesies everyone else brings.

What is a good gift for a baby's nursery?
Pieces that outlast the baby stage: the Miffy Star Light Lamp from Mr Maria, the Miffy White Wall Rug in hand-tufted New Zealand wool, or Bengali Collections Moon Phase bedding. They grow with the room rather than being outgrown in months.

Can I buy a gift voucher for new parents?
Yes. Flux Boutique gift vouchers can be redeemed in store or online and have no expiry, which suits new parents who will not be shopping for a while. Pair one with a card for an easy gift.

Do you have gifts for older babies and toddlers?
Yes. Jaclyn & Matisse wooden toys, like the baby wooden flute, suit little ones who have discovered noise, and the Little People, BIG DREAMS biography books become story time favourites. Our toys collection has more.
