    There are many occasions when you might be on the hunt for a unique baby gift idea: baby showers, to welcome a new baby, Christmas and baptism gifts, first birthday gifts, and even just because. Unique baby gift ideas include personalised items like swaddle blankets and nursery decor as well as handmade toys designed to last. Etsy has unique baby gifts, crafted with care and customisation in mind. Shop our sellers’ baby gifts like:

    • Custom coming home outfits: Mark this milestone with a customised coming home outfit that includes a onesie, baby beanie, and adorable accessories like overalls or a romper. Select a colour and design, and Etsy shops can embroider baby’s name on the pieces, too. 

    • Elevated nursery essentials: Leave the boring basics behind and opt for beautifully handcrafted baby must-haves like custom swaddle blankets, wood bead dummy clips, and adorable hooded towels.  

    • Custom family portraits: Celebrate the newest addition to the crew with a custom family illustration from Etsy. Choose a portrait style, share a favourite family photo, and a seller will design a custom illustration that can be used on personalised ornaments or printed as artwork for your home.

    Popular baby gift ideas can be both practical and sentimental when you opt for well-crafted items from Etsy. Whether you’re shopping for baby shower presents or celebrating a little one’s arrival or first birthday, these are the most popular baby gift ideas to get you started:

    • Nursery decor: Add a colourful touch to their nursery with a wooden name sign, playful mobile, or a handmade macrame wall art design. 

    • Blankets: Keep baby snug with a soft blanket or swaddle personalised with their name.

    • Clothing: From playful onesies and bibs to handmade outfits complete with accessories and booties, clothing is always a welcome gift. 

    • Toys: Age-appropriate baby toys like stuffed animals and super-soft dolls are perfect snuggle buddies.

    Adding a bit of personalisation makes any baby gift extra-special. These pieces become sentimental keepsakes for parents to save as baby grows, too. Shopping on Etsy means endless opportunities for personalised gifts featuring baby’s name, birth stats, photo, or a sweet message. On Etsy, you can often request additional customisation directly from the seller.

    These personalised baby gifts are a great place to start:

    • Personalised baby books: Start Mum’s photo collection off right with a personalised photo book customised with baby’s name and birthdate on the cover. Or make their new baby the star of the show with a custom storybook featuring their name as the main character. 

    • Baby gift basket: Make gift-giving easy with a ready-to-dispatch baby gift basket that can be sent right to the new family. Sellers can add personalised touches like custom name onesies and sweet gift tags that can double as baby’s first personalised Christmas ornament. 

    • Personalised baby clothing: From embroidered baby beanies for baby boys and girls to darling sleepers with coordinating swaddle blankets, personalised baby clothing is a thoughtful gift for new parents to enjoy.

    • Bespoke wooden toys: As baby grows and begins to explore the world around them, kick off their collection with a few of the best Montessori and wooden toys on Etsy. Wooden blocks, rattles, and stacking toys are all popular picks. 

    • Baby’s first Christmas ornament: Give them a special spot on the tree with a personalised baby’s first Christmas ornament featuring their name, birthdate, and a photo. 

    If you don’t know baby’s name just yet and still want to give a personalised baby gift, choose an Etsy gift card. This allows the new parents to select the perfect personalised present for their new addition once their name is certain. The gift card can be emailed to you to print and give or sent directly to the family.

    For baby girl gifts, look for adorable coordinating baby outfits featuring pinafore dresses, hair bows, and tights. A onesie embroidered with baby girl’s “little sister” status is sweet for family photos. Personalised swaddle blankets for baby girls with beautiful botanical patterns and flower embellishments double as a pretty backdrop for those monthly photos the new parents will be sure to snap. 

    Custom baby beanies with his name or “little brother” stitched on the cuff are a good gift for baby boys. If he has siblings, everyone can sport coordinating beanies for that first family picture! Affordable linen baby clothing from Etsy like bottoms and boiler suits will keep baby comfy and cosy. A personalised baby book is a cute gift for a baby boy who will enjoy being the star of storytime for years to come.
