One original baby gift<\/strong>, it should be useful, attractive and \u2014 if possible \u2014 not the same as the one given to the other six guests. Because a white bodysuit in size 1 month is all well and good. But an original idea that makes a lasting impression (and is actually useful) is even better. \ud83c\udf81<\/p>\n Whether you are a friend, uncle, aunt, grandparent or colleague, this list of 21 original birth gifts<\/strong> is made for you. We have selected ideas for all budgets, for little boys as well as little girls \u2014 and for parents who already have everything.<\/p>\n Before diving in, a few useful points to bear in mind:<\/p>\n With that in mind, here are our 21 best ideas for original newborn gifts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The birth print has become a must-have \u2014 and for good reason. First name, date, time, weight, length: all the details of the big day brought together in a decorative format to hang in the baby's room. A keepsake that parents will treasure for years to come.<\/p>\n Choose a rainbow or minimalist design to suit the atmosphere of the room. At PetitMaxou, our customisable rainbow birth poster<\/a> is one of our most gifted products for this occasion. \ud83c\udf08<\/p>\n For those who want to give something complete right from birth: a gift set brings together several essentials in a lovely ready-to-gift package. Practical, elegant, and particularly appreciated when you don't know where to start.<\/p>\n \u2192 View the PetitMaxou baby gift set<\/a><\/p>\n Baby spends dozens of hours on a play mat in their first months. A lovely Montessori design, in soft colours and with sensory textures, becomes the main playground for those first weeks. Practical, durable, suitable from birth up to 12-18 months.<\/p>\n \u2192 View PetitMaxou early learning toys<\/a><\/p>\n It might seem trivial \u2014 and yet, parents are always grateful for bavoirs. Especially when they\u2019re made of silicone (dishwasher-safe, indestructible, and brightly coloured). A set of assorted bavoirs is a useful and original birth gift<\/strong> which far exceeds the standard bib made of fabric.<\/p>\n \u2192 View the bavoirs silicone PetitMaxou<\/a><\/p>\n A night light with the baby's name in wood or illuminated acrylic: it's both decorative, practical for night-times, and personalised. Parents love it \u2014 and it's an idea few people think of giving as a gift. For an even more memorable result, choose a model with a dimmer switch. \ud83c\udf19<\/p>\n \u2192 View PetitMaxou night lights<\/a><\/p>\n Activity cubes can be used from 6 months to 2\u20133 years. Each side offers a different activity (wheel, mirror, buttons, xylophone, etc.) that stimulates baby's fine motor skills and curiosity. A original baby gift for a girl and boy<\/strong> that has real longevity.<\/p>\n \u2192 View the PetitMaxou interactive cubes<\/a><\/p>\n Beautiful, soft, secure: an ergonomic silicone rattle for little hands is a timeless developmental toy. It serves as a first gripping toy from 3 months onwards, and also acts as a teething ring to soothe gums. \ud83d\udc30<\/p>\n \u2192 See the PetitMaxou rabbit rattle<\/a><\/p>\n To prepare for the weaning stage (around 4\u20136 months): a silicone meal set comprising a suction plate, a bowl, spoons and bib \u2014 BPA-free, in soft colours. A original baby gift<\/strong> practical, often not yet bought at birth.<\/p>\n \u2192 See the PetitMaxou baby tableware range<\/a><\/p>\n For future reference: a Montessori activity suitcase brings together several manipulative toys (padlocks, zippers, laces, buttons, etc.) in a portable format. Suitable from 12 months to 3-4 years old, it's a gift investment that grows with the child. \ud83e\uddf3<\/p>\n \u2192 See the Montessori PetitMaxou case<\/a><\/p>\n The classic newborn comfort toy is a timeless favourite \u2014 but when personalised with the baby\u2019s name embroidered on it, it becomes truly unique. Choose a soft fabric (plush, organic cotton) and a timeless design (rabbit, bear, star).<\/p>\n \u2192 View the doudous and PetitMaxous<\/a><\/p>\n Less glamorous than a night light, but ultra-practical: the high chair safety harness allows you to turn any ordinary chair into a safe baby chair. Ideal for family meals at grandparents' houses or when travelling. A original and clever newborn gift<\/strong> that parents never think of buying themselves.<\/p>\n \u2192 See the PetitMaxou chair harness<\/a><\/p>\n An Instax Mini or Polaroid Now to capture the first few months. Physical prints have something that smartphone photos will never have: you stick them on the fridge, slip them into an album, and find them 20 years later.<\/p>\n A themed monthly box suited to baby's age: it's a original baby gift<\/strong> that lasts over time. Each month, parents receive a surprise tailored to their child's development.<\/p>\n Babywearing transforms parents' lives in the early months. A quality ergonomic baby carrier is an original and precious birth gift<\/strong> \u2014 especially for parents who haven't planned it yet.<\/p>\n \u2192 View PetitMaxou baby carriers<\/a><\/p>\n A baby journal in which parents note down firsts: first smile, first word, first steps. An emotional gift that gains value over the years. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n Cloth books are baby's first books. Coloured, featuring different materials and sensory activities on every page. Lightweight, washable, unbreakable.<\/p>\n \u2192 See the Montessori fabric book PetitMaxou<\/a><\/p>\n A quality mobile \u2014 with soothing music, slow rotation and high-contrast visuals \u2014 is a timeless classic. It stimulates a baby's vision and becomes their first bedtime companion.<\/p>\n \u2192 View PetitMaxou bed accessories<\/a><\/p>\n Soft, absorbent and adorable: an animal-hooded bath cape turns every bath time into playtime. A original baby gift<\/strong> practice where parents do not always buy them themselves.<\/p>\n \u2192 View PetitMaxou bath products<\/a><\/p>\n Babywearing classes, a newborn photo shoot with a professional photographer, or a baby massage class. These experiences mark the first weeks much more than just another gadget.<\/p>\n Unknown to non-parents, the fruit feeder is a brilliant tool for the teething phase (from 4-6 months): baby can slip a piece of cold fruit or vegetable into it to soothe their gums. A original baby gift<\/strong>, useful, and often unexpected.<\/p>\n \u2192 See the PetitMaxou teething dummy<\/a><\/p>\n When you don't yet know the parents' first name, sex, or tastes: the good gift remains the safe bet. Parents choose what they really need. A original and elegant birth gift<\/strong>. \ud83c\udf81<\/p>\n A personalised birth poster, a night light with the baby\u2019s name on it, an embroidered \u00abcomfort toy\u00bb item or a gentle skincare set are timeless ideas. If you want to add a \u2018girly\u2019 touch, go for soft colours (dusty pink, mint, lavender) on a play mat or a musical mobile.<\/p>\n For a boy, natural wooden developmental toys, activity cubes, sensory rattles or a baby carrier kit are excellent options. Avoid clich\u00e9s: a 0-12 month old baby has no \u00abgender\u00bb in their developmental needs.<\/p>\n Opt for non-personalised gifts: a play mat, an activity cube, a bath gift set, or a gift voucher. If you still want to personalise it, wait until the birth and send the gift a little afterwards.<\/p>\n Between close friends and family, \u20ac30 to \u20ac60 is a common range. For a colleague or acquaintance, \u20ac15 to \u20ac30 is enough. For grandparents or a godfather\/godmother, going above \u20ac60 allows you to aim for a original baby gift<\/strong> that lasts.<\/p>\n All the products featured in this article have been selected by PetitMaxou for their quality, durability and suitability for a baby\u2019s first few months of life.
