Taylor’s Top Gifts for Expecting Parents

Unique Gifts for Expecting Parents

Here is our head of brand partnerships go to’s for gifting new and expecting parents, filled with thoughtful presents that should help with baby and post partum moments.

Baby Mori

My mom’s number one tip is to skip buttons as much as possible and go for sleepsuits with zips. Baby Mori makes some of the best ethical and organic baby clothing – lots of which are made with zips making changes super easy. Mori’s Christmas Zip Sleep-suit Packs are foolproof gifts that every single parent and baby will love.

Another brand that we love for organic sleep suits is Ergopouch, and we do a whole review on their clean baby essentials here so you can learn more!

Eco Friendly Toys

Sadly, lots of conventional toys are mass-produced with lots of plastic and waste. I highly recommend Smallable’s curated selection of eco-friendly toys, where you can shop specific toys for different ages. I’m a huge fan of Raduga Grez’s wooden toys because they are beautiful, and they help your little one work on their coordination – a win win!

Babybulles Toiletry Set

Treat the new parents in your life to some wonderful natural toiletries for their bundle of joy. The Babybulles essential set is such a great gift because the products are specifically formulated for baby and have been developed using an eco-friendly approach. Meaning all three products are free of any unnecessary chemicals for a gentle cleanse.

Swaddles

Every parent has told me that you can never have enough cloths or swaddles, as babies are constantly spitting up or needing to be wrapped to sleep – so you know this gift will be appreciated and used!  The Liewood swaddles are already my favourite choice because they are made form 100% organic cotton, incredibly soft, and easy to use. My other favourite swaddle is the Softspot soft swaddles because of how unbelievably cozy and soft they are. Plus, their colors and patterns are just beautiful! When it comes to gifts for expecting parents this may be the item they end up using the most once baby arrives!

Somewhere Safe to Play

Playing on the floor is essential for baby’s development – it is where they master ‘tummy time’ and learn to roll over. It is however, essential that baby has somewhere safe and nontoxic to play. I think every parent needs something like the Nobodinoz Organic Cotton play mat, because not only is it lovely to look at but it is an ultra-comfortable mat for baby to play on. It is made from 100% organic cotton grown without any pesticides and it is nice and thick, so baby has cushioning. Another amazing option is the Fabelad Organic Cotton play mats, which come with different patterns and textures for baby to interact with. The brand offers different themed options, from sea creatures to flowers and bugs.

And for anyone who is looking for gifts for new parents, here is our list of essentials they may love after baby arrives!
