Hooray! Someone you know is expecting or has just had a baby. Surprise the new parent(s) with a thoughtful maternity gift or newborn present. In this blog, we share five baby gift ideas to help you out. Read on!
Baby clothes are always a great gift to receive as a newborn present because babies can easily get their clothes dirty, and they grow so quickly! Choose clothing in a slightly larger size, like size 56 or 62, since parents often already have clothes for the first few weeks. Opt for clothing that matches the parents' style, or go for beautiful neutral items, like Lodger's baby clothing. Our wrap bodysuits are easy for new parents to put on and are silky soft on a baby's sensitive skin. Or pick a set with a bodysuit, shirt, pants, booties, or a sleepsuit. For an extra original baby gift, combine it with a clothes hanger where you can write or stamp the baby's name yourself!

Looking for a unique baby shower gift? Make a diaper cake out of muslin cloths instead of, or along with, diapers. A diaper cake has the shape of a cake and is made from dozens of diapers. Replace some (or all) of the diapers with muslin cloths—another product new parents can never have enough of! Roll up the muslin cloths tightly and secure them with a ribbon or elastic band. Place the rolled swaddles next to each other in a circle, possibly alternating with rolled-up diapers. Once the first layer is done, tie a nice ribbon around it.
Not in the mood to craft a diaper cake? Then use a large muslin cloth to wrap your baby gifts. It serves as a lovely gift wrap and as an extra, practical present!

The new baby will likely be showered with gifts, but don't forget about the parents when choosing a unique baby shower gift. During the first few weeks, both parents will have their hands full with their little one and will be recovering themselves. They definitely deserve a gift too! Put together a “survival kit” with a few face masks, a drink they love, a freshly cooked dinner, or plenty of their favorite snacks. Gratitude guaranteed!
Is your baby shower gift budget a bit larger, or are you looking for a special gift to give together with friends, family, or colleagues? Go big with a larger gift! Think of a footmuff that can be used all year round, a 4-season sleeping bag that grows with the baby, an adorable teddy bear snowsuit, or a wonderfully warm swaddle blanket. These gifts can be used right away to wrap and cuddle the baby — also perfect as a blanket for the stroller bassinet.

Would you like to give a gift set but find it difficult to put together a nice combination? Then choose a ready-made baby gift set! We've curated several gift packages, so you don't have to worry about selecting the right products. All you need to do is pick a package and color! Choose a set that suits the parents and baby, and have it delivered directly to the new parents' address. It's also a great idea to give together with friends, family, or colleagues.
If you're looking for a great baby gift, there are plenty of options to choose from. Consider a set of baby clothes, a stack of muslin cloths, or a cozy swaddle blanket for the baby. And don't forget the parents when picking out a gift—something tasty or a little treat to help them relax amidst the hectic life with a newborn is always appreciated. Not sure what to choose? At Lodger, you'll find ready-made baby gift sets that make the decision easy.
