A newborn gift they will wear out, not outgrow.

Fourteen pieces we would actually gift, sorted into three shapes: matching mommy-and-me, two-piece sets, and multi-packs. GOTS-certified organic cotton in most of them, plant-dyed in all, 0–24M — and a handwritten card if you leave a message in the order notes.

  • 14 gift-ready picks
  • Three shapes of gift

Start here: what a newborn actually needs

Three rules we would give a friend before they spend anything. They decide the shape of the gift long before the price does.

Rule 01

Bodysuits do the work

In the first weeks a baby can go through several bodysuit changes a day. That is why four of the picks below are multi-packs, and why a pack is the safest shape of gift when you do not know what is already in the drawer.

Rule 02

Wrap or side-snap before pullover

For the first month, a piece that opens flat beats anything that goes over the head. Both kimono picks here open at the side or cross over the front, which also keeps clear of the cord stump.

Rule 03

Buy for the season, not the due date

A gift opened in December should not be a 57gsm summer voile. Check the fabric weight on the product page, and if the baby has not arrived yet, take the larger size in the band.

Matching mommy-and-me

The gift that ends up framed. Matching pieces for mom and baby, in the same breathable tie-dye cotton.

Mommy & Me Matching Tie-Dye Set

Mommy & Me Matching Tie-Dye Set

The one that turns a gift into a photo. 57gsm voile in the same tie-dye for mom and baby — the lightest fabric on this page, and the one that packs flat for a summer trip.

Which shape of gift?

Same fabric, same dye process. What changes is how many pieces arrive and how they get used in the first eight weeks.

Your message, handwritten

Printed tissue wrap as standard; the card is the part you ask for, and it takes one line at checkout.

A card, not a packing slip

Orders leave in color-printed tissue wrap, ready to hand over. There is no rigid gift box and no card in the parcel by default — so write your message in the order notes and we print a card, write it out by hand and add it to the parcel.

  1. 1Add your message in the order notes at checkout.
  2. 2We print a card and write it out by hand.
  3. 3It ships in printed tissue wrap, with the set.

Gifting to a date? Order notes are also where you tell us the occasion, and we will flag anything that will not make it in time.

Not sure which one?

Tell us the baby's weight, the season and whether the parents already have a full drawer, and we will point you at one set instead of five.

Gifting questions, answered

The five that come up before someone clicks add to cart.

Does the gift arrive in a gift box?
No. Orders leave in color-printed tissue wrap. There is no rigid box and no card in the parcel by default, so if you want a written message, ask for it in the order notes and we add a handwritten card.
What is the best newborn gift if I do not know the size?
Take the 3-Piece Layette Set or any of the 3-packs, which run from 0 months up, and size against weight rather than age. Our size and fit guide maps every band from 0 to 24 months to a weight range, so you can gift without asking.
Can I add a personal message to the gift?
Yes, as a request. Put your message in the order notes at checkout and we print a card, write it out by hand and add it to the parcel, so the parents do not open a packing slip first.
What is the difference between a set and a multi-pack?
A set pairs two or three coordinating pieces meant to be worn together. A multi-pack repeats one piece in three or four colorways, which is what you want when the baby is going through several changes a day. Multi-buys also stack: buy 2 for $5 off, 3 for $10 off, or 4+ for $15 off, applied automatically at checkout.
How much do your newborn gifts cost?
The picks on this page run from $24.99 for a two-piece set to $58.99 for the three-piece layette, with the multi-packs landing between $38.90 and $58.99.
