Unique Baby Gifts

Unique Baby Gift Ideas

Every new baby gets inundated with booties, mittens and blankets - more than they will ever be able to use! When it comes to buying unique baby gifts, it may seem like things are limited. A sustainable, living gift is an excellent way to mark the birth of a child.

For decades, parents have measured their child's growth on door frames, marking with a pencil how much the child has grown. We think this tradition would be even better if the child can actually watch something grow over time.

Our wonderfully unique Welcome to the World gift pack contains everything you need to start a new tradition. Each pack contains a baby tree gift (chosen by you, in honour of the baby), an engraved baby plaque and plinth, a tree protector tube and a greetings card.

A tree gift can open up many avenues for teaching children about science and botany in an engaging way. The bond between a kid and their tree is one that could last for their whole life. Whether you send them a tree on the day they are born from our Newborn Gifts or a year down the line from our 1st Birthday Gifts range, it's a gift that they can grow with and cherish for life.

For another unique gift idea, a fruit-bearing tree can be used to teach a little one about where food comes from. Imagine the joy on their faces when they pick fruit from their very own tree for making into a dessert or snack. Alternatively, the sturdier oak tree can be used generations down the line and become the haven for a cool tree house.

The best thing about a tree gift is that it won't be outgrown quickly; it will stay with the child all the way to adulthood. It can be re-potted or replanted and can one day grace the garden of the child's first owned home, bringing with it a lifetime of memories.
