Night lights
Super soft to look at, handy for middle of the night feedings...and also later when little ones start to be afraid of the dark, a little night light is a thoughtful gift for parents and baby. Choose one in a neutral color so that it fits easily into the decoration already chosen by mom!
We love the classic Miffy night light, always a favorite and this model is perfect with a dimmable switch, so as not to wake baby too much during the night. The night light is also fully rechargeable so no need to think about stocking up on batteries! Other alternatives are the favorite Liewood night lights - cute characters and muted color tones that work in any room.

Soft toys
Who still has their favorite stuffed animal from when they were a baby?! U.S. too. There's something super special about keeping the favorite for years to come. Will your choice be baby's favorite soft toy?!

Activity Toys
Mom and Dad may be prepared for the first few weeks, but babies develop quickly and their need for stimulation and activity occurs sooner than expected. Get ready with an aesthetic activity arch, like the Charlie Crane Naho Activity Arch, beautifully made from durable wood or when baby starts to sit up and hold things, a stacking tower is always fun.
The Liewood Dag Stacking Tower is made from super soft silicone, so it'll always be gentle for exploring the gums...and it's dishwasher safe too! To keep baby busy at the supermarket, a stroller activity chain is ideal - we love the cute duck activity chain from Little Dutch . Guaranteed to give mom or dad a few extra minutes of peace!

Baby mobiles
Both decoration of the baby's room and something to keep baby busy while changing diapers... a baby mobile is a classic birth gift.
Our Favorites
Choose from a beautiful rainbow mobile like the Cam Cam selection, which can be hung above a changing table or also above the baby's bed, or equally more portable like the giraffe musical mobile from Liewood - hang it on a stroller, on the side of the bed….As an extra special gift, the Kano mobile from Charlie Crane is truly beautiful, made from sustainable wood and provides a calming and peaceful environment for baby.
