It’s often difficult to know what to buy a baby as a gift, particularly within their first few months. Many people opt for clothes but with their rapid growth rate these often don’t last long and because many people will be buying baby clothes, your gift can often become cast into a whole other pile of clothes. Therefore, buying a toy baby gift is much more beneficial for the baby and their parents as during the first few months they will already be very inquisitive of their surroundings. Or buying a keepsake also guarantees that your present has a longer lifetime usage.

From the ages of 0 to 6 months babies become quite the little explorers; touching everything with their hands and putting most things in their mouths. They are also stimulated by bright colours, so one that incorporates many different colours will certainly keep them entertained for hours on end. Play gyms are a great way of getting many different fun aspects into one area as they will have rattles, musical items, bright colours, cute animals etc all included in one simple toy area. Simple toys like this are much more effective than expensive and complicated toys and as long as they are safe and durable you can’t go far wrong.

Equally, if you’re wanting to buy something that’s going to last longer there are some beautiful keepsakes for both boys and girls. Many parents who didn’t know the sex of their baby until they were born will probably appreciate little trinkets as they won’t have been able to decorate the room fully beforehand!
