Personalised gifts for new parents

We hand-picked every gift in this guide from the range we stock. Each one was chosen for who it suits and what it does, from a book for a newborn to a sign for a nursery wall.

We also kept a mix of kinds and budgets, so there is something for a small gift or a bigger one. Every gift is made to order, with the name or message you type.

Mama mugs and a Daddy Bear mug suit new parents best. Each one can carry a name or short message, so the gift feels written just for them.

Personalised Boy Mama Mug (£9.49)

A clever pick when you're stuck. This ceramic mug has a boy mama design and one short line printed in fixed capitals. Add the baby's name, or a few words that say how proud you are. Check the spelling before you order, because each mug is made just for them. It's a thoughtful gift for a new mum of a baby boy. It measures 9.2 x 11 x 8 cm.

Best for: New mums of baby boys.

Personalised Girl Mama Mug (£9.49)

Useful all year round. This ceramic girl mama mug has one short line printed in fixed upper case, so the name always looks the same. Add the baby's name, or a few warm words for their new mum. It's a good gift for Mother's Day or a new baby. It measures 9.2 x 11 x 8 cm and should not go in the microwave.

Best for: New mums and Mother's Day.

Personalised Daddy Bear Bunting Mug (£9.49)

A good-humoured gift. This ceramic Daddy Bear bunting mug has a name or short message on the front and four lines of text on the back. The words "I love you Daddy Bear" are already printed, so you add what matters most to the new dad. Hand washing is recommended. Text appears exactly as you type it, so check every letter.

Best for: New dads and Father's Day.

Personalised books make lovely gifts for a new baby when they carry the baby's name and a short message from you. These four are all made to order with the name or message you type, and each suits a different member of the family, from newborns to a big brother-to-be.

Personalised Noah's Ark Holy Bible (£15.99)

Perfect for a godparent's gift, this personalised Noah's Ark Holy Bible uses the King James Version, with a leatherette cover and a bookmark ribbon. The first line is set in larger text, so the name stands out, and three more lines of message sit underneath. The pages are 100% recycled paper. It suits little ones, children and godchildren. The message is yours to write.

Best for: Godparents and grandparents.

Personalised High Contrast Baby Book (£9.49)

Our pick for a newborn's first book is this personalised High Contrast Baby Book. It has black-and-white illustrations and a soft back, and the baby's name appears on the front. Inside, you can add a message of up to six lines, so your welcome sits right in the book. It suits new parents and baby showers, and the book is 19.8 x 20.2 x 0.4 cm, a compact size.

Best for: Newborns and new parents.

Personalised Dinosaur Book & Stacking Toy (£21.49)

Fun to give and useful every day, this personalised Dinosaur Book & Stacking Toy comes with both a book and a wooden stacking dinosaur toy. The counting story follows dinosaurs balanced on a larger dinosaur's back, and it helps little ones count them. The toy carries the child's name. You can add a sender's role, such as Mummy, and a four-line message, so it comes from you in your own words.

Best for: Dinosaur-loving little ones.

Personalised Big Brother Story Book (£9.49)

An easy win for a new sibling's arrival, this personalised Big Brother Story Book tells the big brother that a new baby is on the way. His name runs through the 28-page story, so the book feels like it's all about him. Check the spelling first, because the book is made just for them. Please avoid block capitals, which can be hard to read.

Best for: Families expecting a second child.

Personalised signs and plaques suit a family home because they show a name or a few warm words where everyone sees them. Each of these four gifts is a wooden sign or slate plaque, personalised with a name or message of your choice.

Personalised Pastel Rainbow Wooden Sign (£9.49)

A colourful choice for a nursery or a baby shower. This wooden sign is 20 x 10 x 0.4 cm, with a pastel rainbow design and ribbon included, so it's ready to hang.

Best for: Nurseries and baby showers.

Personalised Safari Animals Wooden Sign (£9.49)

Nice to unwrap, nicer to use in a little one's room. This safari animals sign is wood, 20 x 10 x 0.4 cm, with ribbon included. Add a message line, the baby's name and two more lines.

Personalised Welly Boot Family of 3 Slate Plaque (£9.49)

It shows a family of three welly boots, with a natural string to hang it. You can add one line of names, printed in fixed capitals. Natural slate can show small texture changes, so each one looks a little different.

Best for: New homeowners and housewarmings.

Framed personalised prints suit a nursery wall best, especially ones with the baby's name. These three gifts all show a name or message in a large frame, with two animal designs and one polar bear family. Each one is a warm keepsake for new parents.

A gift with a story: this personalised animal initial oak poster frame takes its initial from the name you add, so the baby's name sits at the heart of the piece.

It's a gentle way to say you thought about the new arrival, and the name is always on show.

You add a three-line message, with the first line in script and the next two in capitals. It measures 30.6 x 38.3 x 1.5 cm, so it makes a bold statement on a nursery wall. The bears and your words sit together on one print, a family picture with a personal touch.

A wooden heart decoration, a set of milestone cards and a dog tag necklace are all small keepsakes that can carry a new baby's name. Each one is personalised to order, so it feels made for that little one and their family.
