Gifts for Babies

 

Choosing a gift for a baby is all about finding something gentle, comforting and meaningful for those early days. From snuggly bedding to soothing mobiles and soft, welcoming places to rest, these little essentials help create a calm and cosy start for newborns. Whether you’re marking a first visit to meet the baby or simply wanting to spoil a growing family, these lovingly designed pieces bring warmth, comfort and a touch of sweetness to every moment.

 

For gifts that bring comfort and calm into everyday moments, playmats and cosy resting spots are always a lovely place to start. The Infinity Baby Playmat creates a soft, neutral base for tummy time and early play, while the Luxury Padded XL Playmat offers extra cushioning for little ones learning to balance or crawl.

 

For quieter pauses in the day, the Baby Beanbag provides a snug, supportive seat that encourages healthy posture and grows with your little one, doubling as a comfy toddler chair as they develop.

 

The CoZee 2 in 1 Crib & Cot Mobile brings a gentle, calming touch to your baby’s sleep space. Soft felt characters sway lightly to create a soothing atmosphere, encouraging early visual focus and quiet curiosity. Designed to complement the CoZee bedside crib and most cot beds, it’s simple to attach and easy to enjoy. A sweet, subtle addition that helps make settling moments feel a little more peaceful.

 

And for families who want a dedicated play space, the Hexa Playpen creates a calm, secure area where babies can enjoy early play and gentle exploration while staying safely nearby. Together, these pieces support the natural rhythm of babyhood, soothing, curious, and full of the smallest yet most meaningful little milestones.

Gifts for Parents-to-Be

 

Preparing for a new arrival often means creating spaces that feel calm, practical, and reassuring, and thoughtful gifts can make that transition a little smoother. A Next to Me Bedside Crib like the CoZee offers close-by comfort in the early months, while the CoZee Air adds extra ease with its rocking bars and smooth-gliding wheels for gentle motion and effortless mobility.

 

For parents planning ahead, the Modena 3-in-1 Cot Bed provides long-term versatility, adapting from those newborn days through the toddler years and beyond. And when it comes to feeding, bonding, and unwinding, supportive seating makes all the difference.

 

The Harper Wingback and Oscar Luxe rocking chairs both come with a clever storage footstool, giving parents a comfortable place to rest their feet while keeping muslins, toys, or bedtime essentials neatly tucked away. Together, they create a cosy, grounding corner that supports the rhythm of everyday family life.
