The Top Trends in Newborn Baby Gifts for 2020

A newborn baby is a delight to see, and no one can agree more than new or expectant parents. The parents are sure to be excited to welcome a first (or even nth) addition to their brood, and everyone else who is close to the family is undoubtedly excited as well. But if you are a friend or family member of the new or would-be parents, you may find it a challenge to decide on the perfect gift for the upcoming arrival. What would be a great gift for a newborn baby, anyway? Should you go the sentimental route with a timeless toy or keepsake such as a baby album or book or a beautiful and elegant blanket that can last for years? Or should you opt for something a bit on the humourous side with a funny onesie or romper? Most of us looking for a gift for a new baby also like to be practical, preferring something that the baby can use and which the parents will find necessary as well. With all the choices, what, then, can you gift a newborn baby? Here are the top trends in newborn baby gifts for 2020.

A newborn baby gift set

Nowadays, you can choose to give something a little extra special with a bundle of gifts – a newborn baby gift set, to be precise. Newborn baby gift set can consist of articles of clothing such as a hoodie and booties and hats as well as luxurious blankets (like cashmere blankets), which can make any parent more than satisfied. Some extra unique gift sets can even come with plush toys and kimonos, natural wooden baby brushes, and so on. It’s really up to you to take your pick – with the variety out there, you’re sure to find a newborn baby gift set that suits your preference and requirements and, more importantly, suits the preferences of the baby’s new parents!

A personalised baby box

Another key trend in baby gifts today is a personalised baby box. Of course, baby albums are still as popular as ever, but if you would like to give the parents something that’s, well, ‘outside the box’, a personalised baby box is a great choice. The parents can fill the box with everything related to their baby, from the baby’s hospital bracelet to other keepsakes such as the baby’s footprint or handprint, a lock of the baby’s hair, and even clippings from the newspaper about the events going on during the baby’s birth. While you’re at it, you can include a special clay handprint and footprint kit, a ready-made kit with complete instructions and non-toxic clay, and the parents can also frame the end product and display it in the baby’s room. 

Baby name cutouts

If you would like something simpler that still makes an impact, you can also go for baby name cutouts. They’re a big draw for parents, especially if they can hang the baby’s name on the wall next to their cot or crib. There are many choices available as well, and you can always choose rainbow colours for the baby’s name, but for something more elegant which can be used for years even after the baby has grown, choose something in a classic colour such as gold or silver or even white and black.
