Gifts and decor ideas for the little ones in your life. A nursery is the one room you decorate before meeting the person who has to live in it, which is a good argument for keeping it calm and letting them add the chaos later.

The pieces that last are the ones that are not obviously for a baby. A soft linen journal on the shelf, a lamp that will still work when the cot becomes a bed, muted textiles instead of primary brights. Nurseries get outgrown faster than anyone expects, so buy for the room rather than for the phase.
Our nursery range covers cot and kids bedding, baby blankets, swaddles and textiles, soft toys, keepsake and memory journals, lighting, storage, wall art and gifts. Also a reliable place to start when someone else has had the baby and you have twenty minutes.
What does a nursery actually need?
A safe place to sleep, somewhere to change and feed, soft lighting for night feeds and simple storage. Everything else is decoration, so buy the essentials first and add the rest slowly.
How do I choose a nursery colour scheme?
Muted tones like sage, oatmeal, sand and soft grey grow with the child and sit calmly with the rest of the house. Add colour through textiles and art, which are easy to change later.
Are soft toys suitable from birth?
Check the age guidance on each product, as some soft toys and comforters are made for newborns and others for older babies. Keep toys and loose textiles out of the cot while baby sleeps.
What makes a good baby gift?
Something parents would not buy themselves, such as a memory journal, a beautiful blanket or a keepsake for the shelf. See our baby gifts for the full edit.
