NEW ADDITION
Purchasing the perfect gift for a little one can be a daunting process – adorable, yet daunting. Here, we make the gifting experience easy by rounding up the best thoughtful and useful presents for the newest family addition.
Although easily the cutest gifting you’ll ever experience, shopping for parents and their newborn can be challenging. You want something that’s thoughtful, adorable or practical. Of course, you could go out and buy a standard cuddly toy but where’s the imagination in that. Baby clothes, on the other hand, are always a hit. There really is nothing cuter than a beautiful ensemble in miniature sizing.
So with that in mind, we’ve compiled a guide of perfect gifts for every stage of development throughout the baby’s first year. These special gifts combine fun and function to commemorate the new bundle of joy and ease the parents into life with a newborn, a three-month-old, six-month-old and one-year-old. Happy gifting!

SIX-MONTH-OLDS:
Whether they’re teething relentlessly or wrapping their tiny fingers around everything in sight, babies this age are quite the curious creatures making bodysuits, bibs and bootees the perfect gift. French brand, Petit Bateau, are adored for their classic French nautical style. Their bodysuits are made with snap closures to make nappy changes easier and their super-sweet prints are sure to keep the baby engaged.

NINE-MONTH OLDS:
Once a baby hits the nine-month milestone, many (including parents) start looking ahead to their first birthday and all the things they’ll need for this new age, making 9 months a really great time to give a gift. At this age, babies have begun to develop a personality and even attempting to crawl. Therefore, you want to avoid onesies or anything with snap closures that a baby can open. Instead, opt for shirts and dresses that only help to aid the baby’s mobility. Portuguese kidswear brand Patachou is the perfect choice as each item has been designed with children in mind.

ONE-YEAR-OLD PLUS:

Switch it up with high quality clothing that can be handed down for generations. Not only is it thoughtful and practical, if you choose well, it can be downright adorable too. The Dolce & Gabbana kids' collection takes Baroque fabric and quirky animal prints and reimagines them to create playful and comfortable loungewear. Little boys and girls will delight in the mood-lifting designs created by the revered Italian fashion house, be they relaxed weekend separates or charming occasion-ready pieces fit for their first milestone birthday!
