Gift for a one month old baby girl?

[psuedocream3]

I feel a bit stuck with ideas as she will only just be one month old at Christmas.

She is close family so I don't mind so much the cost, but one month hardly any toys are suitable and expect they will get the usual lamaze hanging toys and tummy time mats.

Any ideas very gratefully received.

I would ask what they need and look to get something needed in the next year.

or if you want something special a nice snow globe or something?

What about a nice first Christmas decoration for the tree. I'd go for non breakable as in a couple of years they may want to hang it up and it gets broken, speaking from experience.
Or a resuable advent calender, my children have a lovely wooden nativity scene where you move the star along each day.

If the parents like this kind of thing you could get a personalised first Christmas photo frame. If they're more minimalist I'd go for a board book.

I don't have kids, but asked a similar question on MN when a friend had a baby. Everyone said don't buy newborn clothes, because they get so many and grow so quickly.
Some ideas, depending on budget:

• A gold or silver coin
• Matchstick money teething toys https://www.matchstickmonkey.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopHIFzT9R4xgVeMclUeI5nsqwnp4SQM1za-EakW-031N6frrT0C
• Tuppence and crumble star wraps

A teddy bear with the year on the foot. Disney store do them, or Hamleys.

John Lewis do the teddy bears too.

tuppence and crumble star wraps are amazing - my 3 lived in theirs!

Book with good night stories. We started reading to DD from 4 months onwards.

Ask if they look at anything practical, voucher for a high chair maybe.

Steiff does lovely teddies.

A Maileg Mouse makes a lovely gift, it could be the thing you buy her each year 😊

A teddy bear with the year on them
a baby’s first Christmas tree decoration
something for when she’s older? A jewellery box or a snow globe or china money box
a voucher to spend on clothes
a photo frame with a space for a photo every month up to a year

I wouldn't go for a teddy bear. My child is now 7 and we can't move for soft toys - I'm sure that baby will end up with plenty over its childhood.

I would suggest a couple of nice board books that she will grow into. Ones with proper stories like the board book versions of The Gruffalo or similar. Peepo by Allan Ahlberg was a favourite of my daughter's as a toddler.

I'd just get clothes in bigger sizes, to be honest - it's by far the most useful thing for a baby. And maybe a nice ornament if you want to get something Christmassy.

Astrophysics for Babies book!

Mine were 3 months and then 3 weeks old for their first Christmas'. Matchstick monkey teethers, sensory toys (egg shaped shakers, rattles...), board books and bath toys were all useful gifts.

Teething toy, those ankle and wrist rattles, maybe something for tummy time play? I wouldn't bother with a teddy or anything personally as theyl have loads of those from birth presents and babies don't really play with many of them.

A money box
A plate/bowl set
A star projector for room
a mirror toy for tummy time

and if you want to spend a bit more, maybe some premium bonds?

Wonderbly do personalised books. I like the treasuries, eg "Oliver's Treasury of Nursery Rhymes" or "Helens Treasury of Bedtime Stories."

Totter and tumble mat/rug. This is the present I didn’t know I needed! It’s amazing for every stage as a comfy and safe place to put a baby.

Thank you for the suggestions all, lots of variety which has given me lots of ideas.

I now have the tuppence and crumble star wrap, matchstick monkey teether set and astrophysics for babies book in my basket.

I'm avoiding soft toys as we are personally over-run with them and I don't want to buy things that will end up a nuisance rather than a help.
