MATERNITY GIFTS

The best maternity gifts: inspiration & tips!

A baby on the way or just born? Time to find a nice maternity gift! But what do you give to new parents? Of course you want to give something original, but also something practical. We help you on your way with handy tips and a selection of the nicest maternity gifts that you can find at LUDE.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a maternity gift?

A good maternity gift is not only fun, but also practical. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Think about the parents: Consider what the parents value, like and need. Perhaps they have made a wish list? This will help to avoid duplicate gifts and ensure that you choose something that meets their needs and preferences.
  • Gift for the future: Choose something that the baby will enjoy for a longer period of time, or something that can only be used later. For example, toys that first serve as decoration in the nursery and later as a play item. This way, the gift remains valuable as the baby grows.
  • Sustainability and quality: Choose gifts that are both safe and environmentally friendly. Materials such as wood, organic cotton and BPA-free plastics are not only better for the environment, but also safer for the baby. Check that the product meets European safety standards, such as the CE mark. This way you give a gift that not only lasts a long time, but also contributes to a more sustainable world.
  • Design and originality: A beautifully designed maternity gift is not only functional, but also a stylish addition to the nursery. Choose unique or handmade items that fit well in any interior and give a personal touch.

Babies discover the world during their first year of life primarily with their senses. By chewing on a teething ring, your baby trains their mouth and jaw muscles, and by grabbing and holding the teething ring, their motor skills are trained.

Rattle - gripping toy - Pacifier & Cord - teething ring-rattle , Mushie - Teething Toy Ball
A rattle helps develop motor skills. The sound attracts attention, which helps babies learn to focus and develop their hearing.

Petit Boum - sensory bottle Mushie stacking cups
Sensory bottles are clear bottles filled with colorful materials, glitter, or liquids that move when the bottle is shaken, turned, or tilted. They are suitable for babies from about 6 months, when they begin to show an interest in cause-and-effect and visual stimulation.

Wooden play figures
