What gift to give for a newborn?

The arrival of a newborn is the perfect opportunity to offer the most beautiful gift. Nothing is too special to celebrate the arrival of this little darling and begin creating their fondest memories.

It is easy to run out of inspiration, which is why Tartine et Chocolat has created the perfect guide to finding the newborn gift that will make all the difference. There is no doubt baby will be spoiled from head to toe!
Finding a gift for a newborn can certainly seem daunting, especially when you want to get it right but do not know what to choose.
Between newborn boxes, comforters, soft toys, pyjamas and personalised items it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The first thing to do is to ask the parents if one of the items mentioned above would please them most. Indeed, it is best not to take any risks and to choose an item the parents already desire. This way, any disappointment is avoided and the gift will always be warmly received. Should you be given free rein or wish to find a more original and unique gift idea, our list of tips and ideas from Tartine et Chocolat is sure to delight both grown-ups and little ones.

 

Looking to make a lasting impression with:

  • Baby's first cashmere 

It is the perfect opportunity to gift a piece made of cashmere, a noble fabric renowned for its remarkable softness and quality. It will accompany baby throughout their earliest days, bringing comfort by day and soothing their nights. This makes it a delightful idea for both newborn and parents alike. Tartine et Chocolat has crafted seasonal pieces in cashmere such as all-in-ones, outfits and slippers in understated, elegant shades to suit every taste:

 

  • Baby's first comforter and soft toy 

It is a truly personal gift that will make a lasting impression on baby and be cherished for years. It will become baby's best friend, accompanying them through life's greatest joys and harder moments, creating wonderful memories. Indeed, comforters are well known for their soothing, reassuring effect, easily comforting newborns. That is why Tartine et Chocolat has designed a line of iconic comforters in various shades such as Ecru, sky blue, pale pink and light grey. The signature comforter range is also varied, featuring beloved characters such as Augustin the rabbit, Edmond the sheep, Ferdinand the elephant, Léon the hedgehog, Lucien the dog and many others. All these comforters come in different sizes while remaining extremely soft in every format. The same applies to soft toys. Opting for a comforter or a soft toy is a foolproof choice sure to delight. You will find a selection of soft toys in various sizes by Tartine et Chocolat, each more adorable than the last.

  • Baby's first scent 

A newborn's sense of smell develops from birth and plays a vital role in their interaction with the world. Baby tends to associate scents with loved ones and pleasant memories they will cherish later on. Giving them their first fragrance is an opportunity to link wonderful moments with olfactory sensations. Tartine et Chocolat's iconic baby fragrance is Ptisenbon, a bright, floral eau de toilette blending delicate notes of Honeysuckle, Lily of the Valley and Jasmine with sparkling Citrus accords. It evokes the gentle scent of childhood, made with 97% natural-origin ingredients. In short, the perfect gift sure to receive plenty of compliments.

  • Baby's first nights 

We can all agree on one thing: a newborn never has enough pyjamas. For comfort, this is the piece baby wears both day and night. Accidents happen quickly, which is why having spares is always reassuring and keeps baby clean whatever happens. This garment is also ideal because it allows you to play with colours, illustrations, patterns and fabrics. Anything is possible, making it hard to go wrong with pajamas as a newborn gift. Beyond being adorable and sweet, pajamas are an essential to help regulate a newborn's body temperature. That is why Tartine et Chocolat has designed a complete range of pyjamas from cotton to velvet in soft, comforting tones.

Looking for a touch of originality?

It is wonderful to give something personal that will be cherished as a keepsake for years to come. The idea is to make the gift unique through personalisation. At Tartine et Chocolat, originality is highlighted even further with personalised gifts. That is why the House of Tartine et Chocolat has chosen to offer a personalisation service for blankets and slippers. For blankets, you can choose between two noble materials: wool and cashmere, and across five shades: Ecru, Beige, light grey, pale pink and sky blue. As for slippers, the featured style is laced and fringed with adorable personalisation on the sole. These two ideas are sure to make a wonderful impression and will be greatly appreciated for the thoughtful touch they represent.

 

Lacking inspiration?

Indeed, when inspiration is lacking, it is easy to find yourself facing a blank page. If this is the case, the solution is rather simple. The wisest choice is to opt for a curated selection brought together in a box set. Newborn boxes are truly the ideal idea for those in a hurry wishing to give assembled items to create the perfect gift. Once again this year, Tartine et Chocolat has created around ten newborn boxes, all thoughtfully designed to offer high-quality, elegant selections to suit every taste. These boxes are carefully wrapped to make the most delicate gesture possible.

Likewise, to find a newborn gift tailored to your set budget, full selections have been carefully crafted by Tartine et Chocolat. To suit everyone, there are three main ranges: one under €50, one from €50 to €100 and finally, one over €100. Everything is designed so that all our customers can find what they love and delight both the newborn and the new parents. However, if you prefer not to take a chance on choosing a specific item, you can always opt for an e-gift card on the Tartine et Chocolat website to give to the parents, who can then choose their own favourite pieces.

For larger gifts 

You can also opt for larger gifts that will be greatly appreciated. To this end, Tartine et Chocolat recommends its bedroom collection, offering a wide selection ranging from furniture to play mats and musical mobiles, as well as nappy bags and baby nests. Categories corresponding to iconic themes of the House of Tartine et Chocolat, such as Toile de Jouy, Feuillage, Garda or Délicatesse, have been designed to make choosing a newborn gift as effortless as possible.

Let's not forget mum 

A thoughtful gesture, however small, is always appreciated by the mother. This kind gesture will warm hearts and show true kindness. Traditionally, a bouquet of flowers or chocolates is a wonderful choice. You can also opt for jewellery, beauty products or simply an emotional card. It is an extra token of affection to mark the unforgettable occasion of a newborn's birth.
