New Baby Gifts

A new baby generates a great many gifts, most of which are outgrown within the year. The ones that survive are the ones that go on a shelf.

Our Mummy and Daddy Mice Carrying Baby — available as a girl or a boy — are two felted mice bearing a very small third mouse between them, at £29.99. They are our most-given new baby piece and are frequently kept long after the baby in question has grown up. There is also the Baby Mouse with Bear, a growing family of Baby Woodland Animals, and It's a Boy Mouse.

For the nursery itself there are hanging felt mobiles — swans, flamingos — hand-felted animal rugs, and wall-mounted felt animal heads that work as a gentler alternative to conventional nursery art.

All are hand-felted from organic wool sourced from Tibet and New Zealand, designed in Faringdon, Oxfordshire by award-winning British designer Sonia Spencer, and made by skilled craftswomen in Kathmandu, Nepal and Jaipur, India. A gift box is included.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good new baby gift that lasts?

A keepsake rather than clothing. Our Mummy and Daddy Mice Carrying Baby (£29.99, available as a girl or boy) is our most popular and is usually kept as a permanent memento.

Do you make christening gifts?

The same range works well for christenings and naming days — the mice carrying a baby are the most commonly chosen.

What nursery decor do you make?

Hanging felt mobiles, hand-felted animal rugs and wall-mounted felt animal heads.

Are they safe for a baby?

They are decorative keepsakes and nursery decoration, not toys, and should be displayed out of a baby's reach.

Can you send it directly to the parents?

Yes. A gift box is included and parcels never contain an invoice, receipt or pricing.
