Your friend or loved one is having a baby! You want to get them a baby gift — something helpful, meaningful, and ideally not destined for the bottom of the toy box. Stuck for newborn gift ideas? We’ve got you covered.

Time is the most valuable commodity for new parents. So, we’ve focused on gifts that give back precious minutes (or hours!) each day. 

Here are our top baby gift picks:

Ewan the Dream Sheep - Deluxe (£49.99)

The gift of better sleep for parents and baby tops our list. Ewan Deluxe mimics womb sounds to help soothe the baby back to sleep – especially handy when they wake themselves up with a dramatic midnight leg kick (classic baby move).

The result? Fewer full-on wake-ups, and longer stretches of sleep for baby and parent. Trust us, this little sheep is worth its weight in gold.

Elvie Stride 2 (£299)

 

For breastfeeding mums who plan to express, the Elvie Stride is one of the best baby gift ideas out there. It offers a hands-free, wearable solution that fits discreetly into everyday life.

With milk collection cups that slip inside a bra and a motor unit that tucks into a pocket or waistband, it allows mums to move freely and continue with daily tasks while expressing. Comfortable, quiet, and efficient, it makes expressing feel less like an interruption—and more like something that fits seamlessly into their routine.

 

Baby Mirror

Simple but effective! 

Babies are fascinated by their own reflection and a baby-safe mirror can keep them entertained for hours, as well as helping to develop their vision.

For this reason, a mirror can be a really thoughtful newborn baby gift. Positioning one over a bouncer will keep a newborn occupied while parents get on with washing, sleeping, cleaning, or just a quiet cup of tea.

Bebello 4-in-1 Baby Bottle Washer, Steriliser, Dryer & Protector (£349)

Washing baby bottles can take up to an hour a day – time most parents just don’t have. The Baby Bottle Washer from Bebello changes the game by eliminating the need to hand-wash altogether, while ensuring parts are safe, clean, and sterile.

This all-in-one unit washes, sterilises, dries, and protects baby bottles and breast pump parts, making it the ultimate baby shower gift. No more scrubbing small parts at the sink, boiling water, or filling your drying rack with bottles.

Bebello Washer helps parents reclaim valuable time and reduce daily stress.

Perfect Prep from Tommee Tippee (£140)

 

Prepping baby bottles can be a huge hassle, involving heating water to make formula and then cooling it again to the right feeding temperature. Enter the new Perfect Prep from Tommee Tippee, which makes preparing bottles a doddle.

The Perfect Prep machine simplifies this process by delivering a ready-to-feed bottle in under two minutes. It filters and heats the water to the ideal temperature, taking the guesswork and waiting out of feeding times.

Conclusion

The best baby gifts for new parents are the ones that genuinely make life easier. Each item on this list has been chosen for its ability to simplify daily routines and save parents valuable time.

Getting your loved one any of these gifts will instantly earn you legendary status with them—and their little one.
