The Ultimate Baby Gift Guide: What to Add to Your Baby Registry

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most precious milestones, and with it comes the excitement of baby showers, gifting, and setting up a registry that helps prepare for your little one’s arrival. Whether you’re a new parent building your own baby registry, or a loved one searching for the perfect gift, we’ve created the ultimate guide to baby gifting.

Why Create a Baby Registry?

A gift registry isn’t just a wishlist — it’s a thoughtful way to ensure parents receive what they really need (and avoid doubles!). It also makes gift-giving easier for friends and family who want to contribute something truly useful and meaningful.

Thanks to our new integration with MyRegistry, you can now easily add Hushabye’s ultra-soft bamboo sleepwear to your gift list.

What to Include in a Baby Registry: Our Top Picks

Here’s a breakdown of the newborn essentials that are both practical and perfect for gifting:

1. Breathable Baby Sleepwear

Babies spend most of their early days sleeping, and in the Middle East, choosing sleepwear that helps prevent overheating is essential. 

💜 Our pick: Hushabye bamboo sleepsuits and sleep bags are designed for warmer climates and made from ultra-soft, breathable bamboo fabric, great for air conditioned living in the Middle East. 

2. Swaddles & Muslins

Ideal for everything from swaddling in those early days, or for use as nursing covers, burp cloths or a light blanket when out and about. A set of soft muslin swaddles is a must-have in every nursery and diaper bag!

💜 Our pick: PIEON Baby's 100% organic cotton muslin swaddle blankets are beautifully soft and come at a whopping size of 120cm x 120cm. You'll have plenty of fabric to secure your baby in a swaddle and a versatile size for many other uses.

3. Teething Toys & Soothers

Look for natural materials like wood or food-grade silicone that are safe for baby to chew on.

💜 Our pick: Little Necklace's wooden teethers with food-grade silicon beads come in beautiful designs and can be customised too!

4. Everyday Essentials

Think nail trimmers, gentle baby wash, soft towels, and baby-safe laundry detergent — practical gifts that always come in handy.

💜 Our pick: We love the baby-safe toiletries from Sophie La Girafe Baby Care! Non-toxic, using bio-sourced and vegan ingredients, these products are super gentle on your baby's skin and have nifty gift sets you can add to your registry! Also, make sure to add some Because you Care laundry detergent which is non-toxic and eco-friendly!

5. Keepsake Items

Personalised milestone tiles, hand-engraved memory boxes, or soft toys with the baby’s name make for meaningful mementos.

💜 Our pick: Baby Beedz makes a variety of personalised keepsakes, from wooden pacifier clips to stacking name blocks.
