I’m a proud aunt of five, and if there’s one thing I can say, it’s that tracking down the best baby gifts doesn’t get any easier. Because what’s both unique. useful and aesthetic enough to be left on display in the new arrival’s nursery?
Thankfully, we headed straight to the source and quizzed a host of GLAMOUR mums on the best newborn baby gifts they’ve ever received in a bid to save you hours of scrolling. Unsurprisingly, the most common answer was an extra set of hands.
But if you can’t show up for baby duty, this list of gift ideas for the new baby, including insulated baby changing bags, sweet bunny comforters, wooden toys, personalised baby blankets and sweet keepsakes — AKA anything but a gift card.
And if you’re looking for more grown-up ideas that’ll see them through to their first birthday, check out our guide to the best gifts for one-year-olds, too. Meet you at the checkout?

How we choose the best baby gifts for newborns:
Here at GLAMOUR, we don’t do anything by halves. Our research began by quizzing various mums and dads for their valuable insight on the best baby gifts they received during the first six months of parenthood. But, when crafting this edit, we also accounted for all budgets, meaning we’ve included everything from purse-friendly book bundles to play kitchens that make for a luxury treat.
Our guide not only includes uniquely educational toys that are ideal for development, but also plenty of meaningful presents that aren’t toys, like personalised gifts, practical play mats, and sentimental gift ideas that both baby and parent will treasure forever.
