I am looking for ideas for a gift for a new baby and what the modern Mum would appreciate. My neighbour has just had a little boy and I would love to give a little gift that she would appreciate and find useful. It is such a long time since I have had to do this and I have no idea what modern Mums would like. Also there is a acquaintance of my husbands who is having a baby in July so I would very much appreciate any advice please.

Tempting though it is to buy cute baby clothes I never do because inevitably they won’t be to the parents taste. I recently bought s small soft toy attached to a very soft square of fabric from the White Company as a baby gift and apparently the baby loves it. I’ve seen photos of her and she always has it with her. I would call it a wooby but that’s just our word for a comforter.

I recommend sports gear and Harry Potter.

The child is reaching that age 😁

I have bought classic books, The Hungry Caterpillar, Peter Rabbit,sometimes with a small cuddly toy and these have been very well received

I think he's grown out of things like that.

He's seven now and at Junior School probably.
