Holly writes…When buying gifts for a newborn you do not have to splurge, you can buy really stylish and practical pressies on a shoestring budget. I have picked out 5 of the best bargains I could find, to help you stay both budget and style concious when buying for babies…
Soothys Blanket- This gorgeous blanket from Little Green Earthlets is a perfect gift for a newborn. It has delicate crushed velvet on one side and silky soft satin on the other, making it a wonderful baby comforter. The new arrival will love the feel of the different textured fabric against their skin and love to snuggle up with it. The blankets are available in 8 plain colours and 2 trendy limited edition animal prints, so whether you are buying for a boy or a girl or a “don’t know” there will be a colour or print for you and being machine washable and tumble dryable they will last for ages. It is also a complete bargain as all colours have been reduced from £16.95 to just £5.95 for the small size and from £26.95 to just £8.95 for the large, so it truly is a gift on a budget!
Gingham Trim Towelling Snuggler- I am in love with this towelling snuggler from JoJo Maman Bebe. It is seriously cute and so practical. It is perfect for after a bath or a swim and will keep a newborn so much warmer and cosier than being wrapped in a towel. It is available with a blue or pink gingham trim and in sizes 0-6, 6-12 and 12-18 months. Made from 100% cotton it is a wrap over style with tie fastenings and poppers at the neck for a snug and comfortable fit. It is reduced from £18 to £9, so is a special gift at a great price.
Leather Baby Shoes- These lovely leather baby shoes from Bambinos Box are a brilliant gift for a new baby. They are super stretchy and soft, so won’t rub or restrict baby’s feet and will stay on much better than socks thanks to an elasticated ankle band. They are available in loads of different designs from super girly butterflies to boyish trains, but my favourite are this stylish circle patterned pair. They are half the price of most other leather baby shoes, at a cool £8.99, so why not buy two pairs?!
Playsuit Gift Set- This playsuit gift set by Little Green Radicals at Ethical Superstore is brilliant! The slogan “Locally Produced” is bound to raise
a chuckle and at just £12.50 reduced from £25 will make you smile too! The gift set includes a green playsuit with matching mittens, hat and booties and is made from fairtrade 100% premium organic cotton, so is easy on the environment as well as your purse. It is available in size 0-3 months, to make a great newborn gift, as well as 3-6 and 6-12 months.
Tiny Love Take Along Arch- This toy arch from Mothercare is an ideal gift for a newborn. I had one for both of my children and they loved it. It is so easy to clip onto the pushchair or pram and it will keep baby amused for ages as the colourful toys wiggle and jiggle as you walk along. It is also 20% off at the moment, taking it from £14.99 to just £11.99.
