Baby gifts are a great way to show your love and recognition for someone special in your life. Celebrating a birth, Christmas, festival or birthday, a gift is something special to remember the occasion.
When choosing or making a gift, you can never go wrong with something practical that can be used over time. The amount of space a gift takes up is also an important consideration. Unique gifts are always winners, as it shows that a lot of thought and effort has gone into choosing or making the item.
In a recent report, The baby shower gift market was valued at £19 million With so many things available, it is often hard to know where to start. In this article we take a look at three perfect gifts.
Blankets
Soft, warm, cosy blankets. A baby can never have too many. Whilst there are many blankets available to buy commercially, the best gift is a homemade one. Crochet Blanket Kits are available for beginners to more advanced knitters. With an array of colours and patterns to choose from, crochet blanket kits really do make the best gifts. Kits such as https://www.woolcouturecompany.com/collections/blanket-and-cushions-crochet-kits come complete with the necessary yarn, manual and pattern included in the kit.
Toys
A soft toy will be loved for many years. Whether this is knitted, crocheted or bought, toys are a great choice for a present. Teddy bears, rabbits and elephants are always popular. Animals and creatures that a baby particularly likes are also a great idea, such as a dinosaur, unicorn or monkey. With a homemade gift, you can be as creative as you like – snake, spider or a favourite television character.
Clothing
Babies go through a lot of clothes, so clothing will be a welcome choice. With so much to choose from – cardigans, mittens, hats – these types of gifts are practical and enduringly popular. Either bought or homemade, these types of gifts are ideal for colder weather and are essential winter items. Cardigans are also useful for cooler summer evenings.
Practical items which are unique are sure to be appreciated. If you are thinking about giving clothes as a gift, going for the next size up is a good idea as items will last longer, but always think about the seasons ahead to ensure that the gift will be compatible with the weather.
