I need to buy a new baby gift for a young couple first baby. They are very modern trendy, think instagram aesthetic type.
I have no clue! Budget probably £75 max (£50 max would be better)
They are quite well off so like luxury things. I was thinking a fortnums hamper of treats.
But I'd like something more for the baby as well. It's a girl. When I say they are instagram aesthetic, I don't mean they'll post the gifts on there , (they have very private social media and not much) I'm just using that to say they are up with all the latest trends. Any help would be great!

Nope

Sounds like it.

we always buy a baby book with a written note inside and the giant aden&Anais muslins! We still use our muslins now and our kids are 6 and 4!

Hahahahha it really doesn't if you read my OP
Trendy means fitting in with the current fashion or aesthetic

Buy them nice food and a book for the baby. We got so many soft toys we never even got out the packaging.

Yes they will have loads of toys I think. I'm leaning to the neals yard set, the lovely rainbow or the farm shop hamper of nice food

I’m not sure why my comment unthread has been hidden - but I suggested a tuppence and crumble starsnug wrap. It was my most used baby item and they’re gone down well as gifts. Lots of colours so you can Matt h their aesthetic easily I think

I got a friend a voucher to have their feet moulded in clay and framed.
For another friend, I got a voucher to have the baby’s fingerprint made into a necklace.
For another, I got the complete works of Beatrix Potter. It comes in a lovely case.
For another, a silver initialled bracelet.
For my goddaughter, a Tiffany necklace with the letter of her name. It’s so lovely, I got one for my own DC.
agree with a PP, my first years has some lovely things, you can get blankets, towels, teddies with their their names or initials on them and they come in a lovely box.

I love buying baby gifts.

The baby’s feet. Not the mum’s.
