Gift ideas for a baby

26.09.2024

What makes for a memorable, durable, and practical gift for a baby? What kind of gift would bring joy to a child for a long time? Whether you're looking for a birthday, baby shower, christening, or naming ceremony gift, you'll surely find the most delightful ideas for little ones of all ages in our selection. A practical baby gift is one that doesn't end up forgotten in a drawer but brings joy in everyday use throughout the year. A durable baby gift can even become a cherished memory throughout life. A colourful, ethically made garment from Finland is both a practical and unique baby shower surprise or christening gift.



When it comes to purchasing a personalized christening gift, the only limit is your imagination


An eco-friendly gift for a baby could be, for example, a jumpsuit or a onesie with a unique pattern. Our baby clothes range in sizes from 56 to 86. You can even put together complete outfits, as our popular baby sweatpants and leggings perfectly complete the baby’s adorable look. These flexible bottoms pair well with our onesies and baby dresses with an integrated onesie. In addition to clothing, a personalized christening gift could also be a striking patterned jersey blanket or a beanie. Explore our gift ideas for babies and choose your favorite from our colourful and multipurpose selection! If you’re looking for a gift for a 1-year-old or older child, be sure to check out our clothing and accessories for bigger kids as well.


A gift for the baby that is safe and ecological


When choosing a gift, it’s wise to prioritize practicality and ensure that the product is safe for the little one to use. Our fabrics are made in a GOTS and Öko-Tex certified factory, which guarantees that the fabrics do not contain harmful chemicals for humans or the environment. As a mark of Finnish craftsmanship, our products carry the Key Flag symbol. It demonstrates that the product has been manufactured or the service has been produced in Finland, creating Finnish jobs. Our high-quality fabrics are safe even for sensitive skin and feel soft and comfortable. All clothing is sewn in our own factory in Kokkola. A practical christening gift will accompany the baby from the very first moments of life. The captivating patterns and cheerful colour combinations make Paapii’s organic cotton clothes and interior products truly unique.

If you plan to sew a christening or naming gift yourself, we highly recommend exploring our multipurpose fabric selection. From jersey fabrics and stretch sweatshirt knits to mulesing-free merino wool and 100% organic cotton jacquard, you can create one beautiful garment after another for the little one. Paapii's Pattern Book for Babies serves as a beacon on your memorable sewing journey, providing easy instructions for sewing onesies, jumpsuits, and jersey blankets. The book is suitable for both beginners and more experienced sewing enthusiasts.
