If you’re in need of those all-important first birthday gifts, you’re probably wondering where to start. There are so many different options to choose from that knowing which one to go for can seem tricky, so to help you out here’s a quick run-through of the top 5 baby gifts

1. Plush toys. These are sure to please any young child, and you can never have too many teddy bears! Babies often keep the same cuddly toys for years to come, some even for a lifetime, so if you choose the right one you can’t go wrong.

2. First birthday album. The child may not be able to really understand the gift now, but by giving them a photo album the day can be documented to give them something to look back on when they’re older.

3. Pewter or silver money boxes. Now’s the perfect time for baby to start a savings fund, and what better way to start saving than in a truly stunning money box?

4. Educational toys. These will please the parents as well as the baby, and there’s no better way to start learning than through play. There are plenty of options to choose from and all would be perfect to give baby the best start in life.

5. Personalised/engraved gifts. By giving something personalised the child has something that they can truly treasure, so it’s always nice to give them something a bit special.
