When searching for a gift for a baby, it can often be hard to decide on a suitable present. Aside from the more obvious considerations about whether the child will like or need the item, there are many other aspects to consider. One must decide whether they are going to buy the child something they will enjoy, or something more practical. They must then consider how safe the item is, if it is suited to the age group of the child, if it has sharp edges, and if the child has any allergies that may affect the choice of item purchased.

Once you have decided between practical and enjoyable presents, you can then consider exactly what you want to buy. If you decide that you wish to buy a more enjoyable present, then you may want to consider toys or a gift basket.

Toys

When purchasing toys, it can often be easy and convenient to simply stick to what you know and go for the standard baby toy or simply the cheapest toy that comes to hand. However, sometimes it is far more worthwhile to put more consideration and care into a purchase and plump for a luxury baby gift. Kaloo toys are a prime example of luxury baby gift, where all toys are high quality and built to last all the way through infancy. Not only are luxury baby toys more securely made and last longer than a cheap alternative, but they look far nicer and often more care is put into the design of the product.

High quality toys come in the form of soft toys such as:

• patchwork effect cuddly bears
• floppy eared rabbits
• chubby animals
• musical rabbits
• baby's sleeping bags
• children's sofas
• musical birds
• activity play mats

Or wooden toys, such as:

• Pull along wooden animals
• Wooden toy cars
• Toothbrush timers
• Shape sorters
• Wooden puzzles
• Tower puzzles
• Kit trucks
• Rolling xylophones
• Magnetic helicopters

Gift baskets

Other enjoyable alternatives are baby gift baskets. Gift baskets usually consist of a soft baby outfit with matching hat, cuddly toy, and blanket. Good examples of baby gift baskets are made by Lilly and Sid and come in a range of styles suitable for either gender.

If, however, you want to be a bit more practical with your choice of gift, you could instead opt for some clothing. High quality suits, dresses and rompers, such as those in the Sarah Louise classic baby range, are an ideal gift that will please both the child and their parents. The child will love the comfort and style that comes with high quality clothing, and parents will love the quality and strength of the materials and workmanship; safe in the knowledge that the clothes will last.
