Newborn gift ideas that last

For a birth, gifts pour in, often in duplicate. To stand out, give something useful, lasting and full of meaning, that stays when the clothes have been outgrown. Here are ideas that stand the test of time.

Betting on useful and durable

New parents appreciate gifts that truly serve: a quality sleeping bag, a nightlight, a lovely library of first books. Favour quality over quantity: one beautiful, sturdy object beats several fleeting trinkets.

Gifts that create memories

Some gifts gain value over time: an album to fill in, a keepsake box, an object engraved with the birth date. These are the ones the family brings out with emotion years later.

The personalised book, a gift that grows

A book where the child becomes the hero, surrounded by their family, is a newborn gift apart: it accompanies the child as they grow, gets reread at every stage and stages the baby's circle of love. At Piklo, family photos become illustrated characters, for a unique book to keep.

Think of the parents too

A great newborn gift also relieves the parents: a moment of respite, a prepared meal, a helping hand. The thought matters as much as the object. The nicest gift is the one that shows you're thinking of the whole family.
