Baby & Christening Gifts
Welcome to our new department, newly launched and especially created with babies in mind! Here you will find a wonderful selection of personalised and engraved gifts for a newborn and of course presents that are suitable as a Christening Gift! We will be adding more and more gifts to this department, so do visit us regularly to see what's new.
The Perfect Gift for Baby....and Mum....and Dad
It is not usually hard to pick a congratulatory gift for the parents of a newborn. All those gorgeous outfits! But if you wanted the perfect keepsake or just a break from the norm, then My Red Packet has this covered.
New parents will be overwhelmed, just from their change in circumstances, the sleepless nights and the fact that they are not number one in their own lives anymore. So, you could play this two ways. Are you getting a gift for the newborn, or are you buying a gift for the exhausted adults? Or, would you shoot straight to the fantastic friend or relative list to do both?
Looking for an all-rounder gift for the whole household (then no one misses out!)…see our Lavender Incense sticks. As well as bringing a beautiful and calming smell to the home when lit, lavender is well known for inducing a restful sleep – and is used in lots of nursery products. Another dual purpose gift is My Red Packet’s bubble bath machine. Great for when mum or dad want a relaxing bath to regain some long-forgotten me-time, but also a fun tool when baby has bath-time as well!
As the baby years and childhood fly past, a practical gift, and lovely keepsake, is our teddy photo album that can even be engraved with a special ‘welcome to the baby’ message of your choice. Perfect for holding all the family’s special pictures, it’s a fantastic way to display those captured pockets of time before they disappear into our memories. Another gorgeous keepsake is My Red Packet’s first money box. Available in blue or pink, it can be engraved with a personal message. It’s never too early (or too relevant, during the current recession) to start saving their pennies and you can always pop a few pound in there to start them off!
For something a little more unusual, why not name a star after the bundle of joy? And we don’t mean one that comes out at night…no, for today’s celebrity obsessed culture, hip and happening babies can have their own Hollywood star. Though, until they are famous enough to warrant one on the American boulevard, you may just have to give this gift pride of place on your patio!
We have plenty of practical gifts too. Personalised bibs, bodysuits, vests, towels….the list goes on. All can be emblazoned with ‘Britney’, ‘Cruz’….or whatever moniker has been bestowed on the child. And talking of which, why not have the meaning of the chosen name framed and presented? (FYI – Britney is a variant of those coming from the region in France – not at all associated with an American singer with certain issues!).
Buying a gift for a newborn is as much fun for the buyer as it is for the recipient – going all gooey at the cuteness, reliving those ‘I used to have one of those when I was a kid’ childhood moments and enjoying the happiness emanating from the family with their new addition. My Red Packet’s range of beautiful new baby gifts befits this momentous occasion.
