How wonderful is the impending arrival of a newborn baby! The occasion is so very special and you will want to send your love and best wishes as quickly as possible after the birth or maybe in time for a Baby Shower.

We have a brilliant selection of organic and 100% cotton gifts we have carefully selected for newborns and then hand created into the prettiest of bouquets, hampers, buckets and gift boxes which can be delivered the very same day in the Auckland metro area if you order by midday and the next day throughout most of New Zealand.

What to consider when selecting your Baby Shower or Newborn baby gift?

Colours & styles
What gender is the baby and do you want to celebrate this or choose more neutral tones? Many parents do not find out the gender of their baby and more and more parents choose neutral shades or care not a jot for stereotypes these days so have a think and see the lovely colour options we have.

Sizes & seasons
What weight was the baby? Our 100% cotton and organic clothing comes in sizes 000 & 00 and you can see the size chart with measurements for these via the link here (include Hyperlink to Size Chart on website). Remember to consider the season too – if the baby is born in Summer do you want all newborn items or perhaps include a warmer item for a 6 month old too.

Gifts & keepsakes
Is the baby a first born or do they have siblings – if so they may already have some preloved baby clothes so perhaps a gift which includes a soft toy, organic baby toiletries or 100% cotton knitted blanket might be useful.

Group gifts
Are you sending a gift from several people such as co-workers, an activity group or maybe neighbours? Invite everyone in the office, club or street to contribute and allow them to decide the amount they’d like to pitch in. Let them know which gift you plan to purchase and when and how to contribute – Paypal Pools can be fantastic way to collect money for group gifts. Make sure you add all the names of contributors to the card!

Messages
Do you want to send a personalised message with your gift? Let us know and we will be happy to help make your gift perfect.

We know our baby and newborn gifts are a delight to receive because our customers and friends tell us but feel free to contact us should you need help with choosing your gift.

Naming your baby

Naming your baby, what to consider and a very clever modern tip to help!

In those hazy wonderful days dreaming of one day being lucky enough to have your own child there is the delightful game of what name you might give them. Some people have made up their minds years before having a child and some make up their minds (or even change their minds!) once their bundle of gorgeousness is in their arms.

Either way it is definitely a big decision and often influenced by so many elements.

I remember being excited by the idea of choosing a name for the daughter we were so excited to be expecting…only to have this turn to anxiety as the reality descended that this name game wasn’t actually a game, this child would have this name for maybe 100 years, would they love the name we chose or would they hate it, would it help them achieve their goals or hold them back from something, would a Z list celebrity with a penchant for tabloid headlines ruin it with over exposure or would it just fall out of fashion and render them a joke!

So much to consider and so many others with opinions.
How did you decide on your child’s name or are you considering names right now?
Are you putting names in a hat to choose!
The top 20 names of 2021 as collated by Babycenter.com are here.
Do you want a popular name or something a little different? Do you have a family name to give them or do you want to start your own trend? Are any of the names you like on this list?
Is your favourite name in the Top 20?

If you are struggling with names, then here is a very modern and clever tip…

CharliesNames App

When Jelka and Stephan were struggling to find a name for their son they didn’t just take to the internet – they created an app! Jelka and Stephan decided to develop a babynaming app to not only help them come up with a name but to be able to make the process fun and something they could share.

CharliesNames was born and it works a bit like Tinder ;-)

You can simply rate the names by swiping left or right. If you are connected with your partner, you’ll see immediately which names you both like. You can also have all the names displayed as a list to rate them, and the integrated AI learns something new every day and will show you the most suitable names first.

Give it a go – the basic app is free to use and there is a premium option for those needing more matches and help.

Go on swipe left and see what matches you come up with and let us know your favourites.
