So your friend just had a baby? Here’s what to buy them

Here’s what they'll actually love you for when you visit

Apart from bringing something to nibble on, plus a perhaps tray of freshly made coffees and a stack of non-baby related gossip, here are six presents your new parent friend will love.

A stylish hat
Walking endlessly with a pram and with small toddlers means a lot of time in the sun, so a good hat is a must-have.
Our pick: The Dingo Hat by Fallen Broken Street

A hands-free bumbag
From sunscreen to wet wipes, parents have a long list of ‘essential items’ they need to cart around. So when they need to be hands-free, a bumbag is the way to go.
Our pick: Tacoma Waist Pack by WANT Les Essentiels

Bluetooth headphones
Hands-free and perfect for late-night feeds or afternoon walks, a good pair of wireless headphones will make any new parent smile.
Our pick: aHead Bluetooth Headphones by Kreafunk

Stroller organiser
Sure, it’s a little utilitarian but nothing beats a good stroller organiser, especially if it’s functional and full of style.
Our pick: Travel Stroller Organiser by Storksak

An insulated cup
Parents all around Australia don’t finish their coffee, tea or chai… letting their beverages go cold every time. But that won’t happen with a super efficient insulated mug! Ta-Da!
Our pick: Tumbler 16oz by CORKCICLE

A kid-friendly tote
Babies are sticky and messy, so new parentals need everyday bags that are durable and washable… but also fashionable!
Our pick: Jaggad Tote Bag

Consider these for the baby...
