The perfect gift to give to any mommy to be. Trust us this is not one of those gifts that is going to be stored away in the mothers ‘gift it away cupboard’. This handy little personal bed for your newborn is number one on our list. If you know the babies name personalize it for that extra touch.

2) A Baby Record book

The multifaceted uses of this item makes sure it’s the one thing you can never have enough of. Its functionality evolves with the baby. Baby Jalebi has them in 100 % muslin cotton with the sweetest prints: polkas, stars, chevron. Need we say more?

4) A Care Package for the Mommy to-be.

Mommy’s deserve gifts too, after all they are the ones who go through it all. We recommend anything to show you care. A gift certificate at her favourite spa (with a long expiry date of course bevause you don’t know when she will be able to get out again) But believe us when she does get the chance she will be most grateful.

5) A Blanket, Pillow & Bolster set

All the essentials in one perfect bundle of cuteness. We recommend – the Baby Jalebi Baa-Baa Sleepy Sheep Blanket set or if you’re not sure of the baby’s sex and want play it safe. And then there’s the Ahoy! Blanket set for baby boys and Sweet lemonade for girls.

6) Sophie the Giraffe

This little chew toy giraffe is everywhere these days and oh-so-popular for all the right reasons. Babies love to chew, gnaw and bite on her sweet little ears and feet. Made from organic rubber and edible paints so that the little ones can safely chew away to her drooly gums delight.

7) Nursey wall decor

Everyone pays so much attention to clothes, bedding, bottles and all the other essentials that the nursery walls sometimes seem bare. Baby Art is fun, colorful and very stimulating to a brand new baby’s eyes taking in all the wonders of his universe, his nursery. A new must on the baby shower gift list. 

8) The High Chair

If you feel your friend is going to be inundated with immediate use baby products, think out of the box and gift her a high chair (though first make sure she has space to store this very large package)

9). A Play Mat/ Rug

As babies grow they need lots of different spaces and you need different surfaces to make them lie on. Babies need to be on the floor to develop well. Tah- Dah! Enter the Baby Jalebi safari rug – Bright bold colour and 100 % cotton. Perfect for babies tummy-time and for them to get their groove on. The excessive style brought in is an added bonus.
