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?!
Our advice is to look for super soft organic cotton, which will please both baby and the demanding mother.
Our favorites include the panda Maileg and the plush goose Little Dutch - super cute and perfect for a girl or a boy. But there are many options, check out our top picks here.

Activity Toys
"Mom and dad may be prepared for the first few weeks, but babies develop quickly and their need for stimulation and activities arises sooner than expected. Get ready with an aesthetic activity arch, like the Charlie Crane Naho activity arch, beautifully made from sustainable wood, or when baby starts to sit up and hold things, a stacking tower is always fun."
The Liewood Stackable Tour is made of super soft silicone, so it will always be gentle on little gums... and it can also go in the dishwasher! To keep baby entertained 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 selection from Cam Cam, which can be hung above a changing table or also above the baby's crib, or just as portable as the Liewood giraffe musical mobile - hang it on a stroller, on the side of the crib….As an extra special gift, the Kano mobile from Charlie Crane is truly stunning, made from sustainable wood and provides a calming and peaceful environment for baby.
Comforters
Like stuffed animals, new babies and toddlers can never have enough cuddly toys… with moms and dads everywhere often buying multiples of their favorite cuddly toy, lest it get lost!
So which cuddly toy to buy? We love the organic cotton muslin versions from Liewood and Fabelab - perfect for baby's soft skin and also available in subtle discreet colors.

Baby Room Decoration
Mom and Dad have probably already purchased the important items for the nursery such as the cot, changing table and maybe a wardrobe… but what about some pretty decoration. This one usually comes last so makes a well-thought-out birth gift... especially when it's something fairly neutral in color, to suit all tastes and for a boy's and a girl's bedroom.
A pretty wicker giraffe basket from Bloomingville Mini serves as both quick storage and a beautiful decorative piece. The wooden giraffe measuring board is also a great way to track growth. A practical newborn gift is always welcome, as new parents often find they never have enough of certain essentials, such as swaddles, sleeping bags, bath capes, and for weaning baby, tableware.
Liewood's silicone sets are a perennial favorite, and for good reason. They're super cute, are 100% silicone so no nasty plastic for baby, can be washed in the dishwasher, and best of all - won't break if baby decides to throw them away, all while looking cute on the wall. the baby's room.

Play Mats
Once baby starts to spend time on their tummy or even crawl, you want to have a safe place to put them. Many play mats available are often in bright and mixed colors that simply do not work with your home decor, so why not look for something more stylish like the Toddlekind play mats - designed to fit perfectly into your home, as well as being a safe and non-toxic place for baby to play.
The shell play mat from Cam Cam is very pretty, and just like the reversible bamboo leaf play mat from Lorena Canals, it is 100% organic.
