Personalised baby gifts that get kept, not returned

Generic baby gifts have a problem. Around 60% of new-parent baby-clothing gifts go unworn — either wrong size for the season, too generic to be sentimental, or duplicated by another well-meaning gift-giver. Personalised pieces are different. When a piece has the baby's name on it, the keep rate jumps above 90%.

Why personalisation changes the gift

Three reasons. First, no duplication — no two pieces are alike, so the gift is genuinely from you. Second, the keepsake effect — names on baby pieces get kept into childhood. Third, the daily-use signal — when daycare hands back a named bag, the parent thinks of the giver every time.

The five pieces new parents actually use

Personalised hooded baby towel

GOTS organic cotton terry, embroidered name in the corner. Used every bath until they outgrow it — and then folded into the bottom of the linen cupboard as a keepsake.

Native koala comforter

Plush, brushed cotton, embroidered initial. Meets the baby in the cot, stays for years.

Muslin wrap set

Hospital-bag essential. Three wraps in double-gauze cotton, names stitched in the corner. Used constantly through months 0-6.

Personalised bib + burp cloth set

The early-weeks staple. Soft GOTS terry, name embroidered.

First soft year bundle

For the gift-giver who wants to make a statement. The five-piece newborn welcome, made together in one studio batch with the same name across every piece.
