Any ideas for a gift for newborn who will have everything?

Buy him/her Winnie-the-Pooh - the book, not a bear! It is a timeless story that can be read and enjoyed at any time of life, after the child learns to speak.

I still have the copy my grandmother gave me before I can remember the occasion. My earliest memories that come flooding back when I look at the pictures is of my father reading it aloud to me when I was three.

Premium bonds.
When the baby is older he/she can always cash them in for something they would like.

This baby is now ten months old!

I think that the best ideas are those which involve sponsoring a tree, or an animal or a child.
If this baby really does have 'everything', then spending your pressie money on these sort of things (Certificate will be provided and you can frame it for them), would be really lovely,.

well I found that babies nowadays are not allowed loose bedding or soft toys because of fear of sudden death syndrome. my grandson is only now at one being offered a teddy. and books currently approved have changed too. It's a different world. I used to play cassettes of really good baby songs to my kids in the car or at home. Nowadays it is easier for parents to just shout play nursery rhymes at Alexa. The resulting music is poor. Does anyoneanyone know how to access nursery music or songs that are better? that is what I want to give him for Christmas.

Thank you all so much for the lovely ideas. I have saved them all for future reference. The parents of this little one both love books. Their wedding had a book theme and the wedding cake was a pile of their favourite titles. On this occasion I have decided to buy a boxed set of books and will add one of the other ideas to go along with it, maybe a photo frame or voucher for a photo shoot. Thanks everyone!

The website notonthehighstreet is excellent for personalised gifts or name a star after the babe and it comes with a gift certificate

What about a photo shoot. Many photographers allow you to buy vouchers. Professional baby photos are all the thing?

I’d go for the vouchers, as the baby may be too big (or small) for first size clothes, or may not be the right size for clothes bought for a specific time of year.

A book inscribed from yourselves. My son loved the thought of a book of nursery rhymes he got as a baby . "What the Ladybird Saw " and "what the Ladybird Heard " have raised ladybirds on the pages and my GC from under a year old could feel them and find them . They are lovely books available from Amazon and good bookshops I hope.

Lots of lovely ideas here for the baby to enjoy while still very young - but I like the idea of books for later, too. Last year 'The Lost Words' - by Robert McFarlane and fabulously illustrated by Jackie Morris ( Jackie already mentioned on this thread) won an award for the most beautiful book of 2018. It costs about £25 and is worth every penny.
The poems - about conkers, brambles, herons, newts etc. celebrate the natural world in Britain which so many children no longer experience unless they have parents to help them experience same. You would think they would be too difficult for young children to appreciate - but my 5 year old GC loves them.

endorse the giraffe. New granddaughter loves it, upside down and chewing the feet. Easy for little hands to manipulate.

I’ve bought an unusual moneybox when I was in the same situation. ?

I very often give books - We're Going on a Bear Hunt is one of my favourites. The classics, though lovely, and often beautifully illustrated are a bit heavy for younger children, but they are nice to keep for the future. Anyone familiar with The Elephant and the Bad Baby?

I'm currently waiting on the birth of my grandchild and these are some wonderful ideas for me to buy all something

The Royal Mint do some nice gifts for new babies. Something that may increase in value over the years. Im a sucker for coin collections personally!

Another vote for Ewan the Dream Sheep. It's so soothing it used to send exhausted Mum and Dad to sleep as well as new GC! But I love Menopaws's sunrise picture idea.

This is just one place, there are several others:

I don't know if anyone else has suggested this but it's possible to buy and plant a tree through several agencies in the UK.
As the tree grows so does the child and can go visit it. I believe you can even have a commemorative plaque.

gift voucher .then the parents can buy what they need.

There is a lovely book entitled ‘Welcome to th World’. It is only about £8 - £10 but a lovely new baby gift. Not on the Highstreet also do some lovely baby bits some are personalised. Good luck

Intrigued by Ewan the Dream Sheep suggested by Beau, I googled it. There were a few sites but I looked on YouTube. Shows what it's about and how it works. If it works it looks great.

I have seen disposable nappies made into presentation packs in shapes like a swan, teddy etc. You can never have too many nappies but don't get the first size.

Glosgran.. this is the seahorses.. sorry link was broken, but available at Argos. ?
