4. Love to dream swaddle
If we’re honest, the real gift most new parents want is the gift of a peaceful night’s sleep. We can’t guarantee you’ll get a full 9 hours uninterrupted, but dressing your newborn in a swaddle can help them to have a better sleep. Not sure if you’ve tried to swaddle before but it can be a lot more complicated to do without the help of a midwife. The Love to Dream Swaddle Bags are seriously foolproof- just zip them up and you’re good to go.
Features of Love to Dream Swaddle:
– TOG-rated materials
– Made from 93% cotton
– Certified hip healthy design
– Twin zipper for quick nappy changes

– BPA, phthalate and PVC-free
– Perfect from 6 months +

6. Reusable swim nappy
Australian Christmas means beach time is a go! Buying baby a swimming costume is the perfect summertime Christmas gift, especially when it’s something as practical (and cute) as a reusable swim nappy.

8. Baby nappy bag
We won’t lie – this is completely a gift for new parents and not for baby! A baby nappy bag is an absolute essential if you’re planning to ever leave the house with your baby in tow. We like gifting something unisex so either parent can get use out of it and it doesn’t replace a woman’s handbag. The Aluxo backpack is a great choice for this – functional, water resistant and even has insulated baby bottle holders.
Features of Aluxo backpack:
– Choose from grey or black
– Vegan friendly
– Waterproof
– Lightweight
– Unisex
9. Bubba Blue Hooded Towel
Soft and cosy, this is an adorable baby gift for Christmas. Did you know we lose most of our body heat through our heads? The Bubba Blue hooded towel combats this with the hood and will keep bub warm and cosy after their baths.

– Made with natural bamboo fibres
– Machine washable
– Suitable for newborns until 2 years old
– Soft and cosy
– Highly absorbent
10. Padded Play Mat
Our last top gift for baby’s first Christmas is a fun padded play mat. We love the mats from Little Wiwa as a super plush, comfy and safe space for baby to play or get tummy time in. They’re ultra portable, easy to store (just roll up after play time) and will last for years to come in their nursery rooms.
Features of play mat:
– Waterproof
– Reversible print
