Baby Layette Gift Ideas

A new mommy will notice after bringing her precious newborn home that she doesn’t use too many of the items she received from her baby shower for the first few weeks. Bottles, pacifiers, diapers, and small items of clothing—also called layette, usually cover all bases. To put it simply, a baby layette includes cloth items that aren’t outfits. Although a baby layette makes a great baby shower gift, most can be very generic and unoriginal. Here are some great baby gift ideas and Unique Baby Gifts that will make something so simple go a long way.

Instead of giving a package of plain bibs, make them special with these Personalized 3 Pack Cotton Infant Bibs (LDD-6300000). Catching a mess will never look so good! In need of a last minute gift and can't wait for the personalization? No worries, try our "Animal Crackers for Messy Snackers" 4-Piece Bib Set (LBA-16013AS), or our "Patty Cake" 3-Piece Bib Gift Set (LBA-16011NA). The irresistible and unique packaging on both sure won't look rushed.

Both mommy and baby will smile at this “Nursery Rhymes” Embroidered Keepsake Quilt (LBA-BA12006NA). True to its name, this blanket is definitely a keepsake that your little one will one day look back on. Every look and snuggle with this blanket is sure to have nursery rhymes dancing in your head. For something a little more personal, the “Sweet Baby Blankets,” in Parker’s Pond and Maddie’s Meadow (LBA-12005BL; LBA-12005PK) can be personalized with the little one’s name. All come in memorable keepsake boxes that will forever hold the blankets for years to come, even after the baby outgrows it.

For another simple gift turned special, give these Personalized Onesies for Girls and Boys (BCC-BL100P; BCC-BL100B).

Bath time will never be dreaded when the baby gets to dry off in these 2pc. Personalized Hooded Towels for Boys and Girls (BCC-BL600B; BCC-BL600P). For something a little extra, our “Dilly the Duck” Four-Piece Bath Time Gift Set in Decorative Hat Box (LBA-BA11008YL) is perfect for a boy or a girl.

If you can't seem to decide on what baby layette idea you like best, no need to stress. Little Things Baby offers a great selection of Baby Gift Sets that include all the necessities for the first few newborn weeks. Also perfect for wishing wells, all of our Gift Sets are beautifully packaged with unique items that will forever be remembered. The "Patty Cake" Nine-Piece Layette Set in Keepsake Gift Box Tower (LBA-BA11014PK and LBA-11014BL) includes everything a baby will need after the first breaths are taken, and the boxes can be used for keepsakes and storage after.

For a lower budget, you can't go wrong with the "Big Dreamzzz" Baby Ballerina Two-Piece Layette Set in "Studio" Gift Box (LBA-16010PK), or for the little boy, the "Big Dreamzzz" Baby Camo Two-Piece Baby Shower Layette Set in "Backpack" Gift Box (LBA-16010TN). Mommy won't be able to resist snuggling her newborn into either of these outfits for the big trip home from the hospital.

For something gender neutral, our "Sweet Dreamzzz" A Pint of PJ's Sleep-Time Gift Set is offered in Chocolate, Strawberry, or Lime (LBA-16008) and is sure to please. The little one will look good enough to eat!
