Gifts for birth & for babies – what's important?
The birth of a child is a unique occasion. Many parents appreciate practical gifts that make everyday life easier, but also something lasting as a memory. Popular are high-quality baby bedding, cuddly stuffed animals and gentle night lights that make the baby's room cozy.
When buying, you should pay attention to pollutant-free materials and easy care. For the first months, for example, comfort blankets that grow with the child, or a small music box that promotes falling asleep are suitable. Also a nice lamp like the Mr Maria Lamp Miffy XL provides a pleasant, dimmed light – a real eye-catcher in the room.

Creative gifts for toddlers & Children – playtime fun with learning factor
When children learn to walk and talk, the desire for new challenges also grows. Gifts for toddlers should promote motor skills, invite discovery, and at the same time be robust enough for everyday life. Particularly popular are hobby horses, building blocks, and first role-play sets.
A hobby horse like the by Astrup Hobby Horse Steckenpferd grau is a timeless classic – it trains the sense of balance and stimulates the imagination. For slightly older children, craft and experiment kits are suitable, which convey knowledge in a playful way. High-quality picture books and wooden toys are also a sustainable choice.

Tips & Useful information about children's gifts
Choosing the right gift by age
For babies under one year old, sensory stimuli are especially suitable: rattles, teething rings, and high-contrast cloth books. Toddlers from 12 months love things they can push, pull, or stack. From age three, role-playing games and creative materials come into play. Always pay attention to the manufacturer's age recommendation – it provides information on safety and suitability.
Sustainability and materials
More and more parents value non-toxic, durable materials. Wooden toys made from FSC-certified wood, eco-textiles with GOTS certification, or recycled plastics are good indicators. A second-hand gift can also be a nice idea – as long as it is fully functional and clean.
Last-minute gifts made yourself
When time is short, you can make something yourself with simple materials – for example, a personal memory album or a self-sewn comfort blanket. In our blog you will find instructions for Last Minute DIY Gifts – ideal if you want to quickly create a creative surprise.

Frequently asked questions about gifts for children
Which gift is suitable for newborns?
For the first weeks after birth, practical items such as baby bedding, muslin swaddles, or a cozy sleeping bag are particularly valuable. Personalized gifts like an embroidered blanket or a photo album are also well received. Look for skin-friendly materials and washable fabrics – baby skin is sensitive and frequent washing is inevitable.
Are hobby horses also suitable for the garden?
Yes, many hobby horses are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The by Astrup hobby horse is robust and has a weather-resistant plush head. However, you should not leave the horse outside permanently during heavy rain. Other outdoor toys like sandboxes or Bobby Cars are also suitable for the garden.
Which is better – wooden toys or plastic?
Both materials have advantages and disadvantages. Wooden toys are durable, sustainable, and feel natural. They are often free of plasticizers and harmful substances. Plastic toys can be lighter, more colorful, and waterproof – ideal for bath toys or building blocks with special shapes. Decide based on the intended use and the child's preferences. For plastic, look for BPA-free labels.
Which gifts are particularly popular with children aged 2–3 years?
At this age, children love anything that sparks their curiosity: simple puzzles, stacking cups, play dough, and first picture books with thick pages. Push-along walkers, ride-on toys, and small musical instruments are also very popular. Make sure there are no small parts that could be swallowed and that the items are sturdily made.
Can I redeem a gift voucher later?
Yes, vouchers from our shop are generally valid for several years. They can be easily redeemed online by entering the code on the voucher page. This gives the child or family the freedom to choose for themselves – especially handy if you are not sure what is needed.
