Unique Gifts for New Babies
Spring is a time for fresh starts, new green sprouts, and babies! Whether it's for a family member or friend, we know you want to find a unique gift for the new baby that is coming.
We have heirloom-quality, handmade gift ideas made by artists that will be cherished for generations, so your gift will be remembered as "the special one".
What is the first thing to give a newborn baby?
Baby boys and girls need the same things when they are newborns. Clothes, blankets, and bright toys to grasp. These keep them warm and protected, and begin to engage their hands and eyes for development.
Soft toys without any pieces that can come off (and find their way into the baby's mouth) are essential. Our plush rattles tick all the boxes. They are bright and soft with a sewn-on face for safety. We carry a few colors that suit any baby's needs for an engaging companion.

When choosing clothes, most new babies are dressed in easy-to-clean onesies like our organic cotton, Pacific Northwest-inspired orca romper shown below. These make changing diapers simple and comfortable with a three snap closure.
For outings, covering their feet is essential, and our soft fabric shoes (above) protect those tender toes.

What do new parents want as gifts?
Of course, every parent will want additional baby things based on their culture and parenting style. Some may be bottle feeding or need a crib or carrier.
Others may enjoy something that is just for them, since so much of their life will be focused on their little one.
Great ideas for parents include self care items like sleep masks, shower steamers, or even a quiet, DIY project kit to do when baby is sleeping.
New babies usher in a time of new adventures, challenges, and milestones. Offering a unique gift for those special little ones will mark their arrival as a wonderful and welcome moment.
