There’s no easier gift recipient to please than a baby. When it comes to Christmas, you’re literally spoilt for choice as to what to buy a little one, from sensory toys to rompers, stuffed toys to swaddles.
Everything is simply adorable when its for a newborn or little one, and if you throw in something on the practical scale, you’ll please their parents too.
As a mum, I always welcome gifts that are actually useful and when you’ve got a newborn, you can’t get enough of the more practical gifts, even at Christmas. Before you dismiss practical as boring, head to Boots and take a browse of their Christmas gifts for babies and new mums – it’s packed with a wide range of cute and sweet gifting options for baby’s first Christmas, ranging from under £10 to over £100.
There's still time to order online too. Order by 12pm on December 23 and select either Next Day Delivery or Click & Collect to your local store and you'll have your gifts in time for Christmas.
So whether you’re buying for your best friend’s baby, a relative or even your own, there’s something for every budget and taste. Here’s what’s top of my list.
How I chose from the Boots baby gift edit
Price: From stocking fillers to luxury goods, I’ve chosen pieces across the price range to suit all budgets.
Age: I’ve stuck with three and under as a rule, as that’s a tricky age to buy for especially if you’re a non-parent. There’s no list for Father Christmas for a start!
Range: From bath time products to toys, I’ve included a range of products to show the breadth of Boot’s offerings.
