Choosing a newborn gift? Parents-to-be can be inundated with presents ahead of their new arrival, and too often they receive a mountain of clothing which is quickly outgrown. But there are plenty of options to buy something super stylish which will be loved, and used again and again. Here are six of our very best:
1. Playmats
Baby play mats don't get much cuter than these animal face mats by Mister Fly Kids. The appliqué faces are adorable and the mats themselves are super padded and soft. Available in four different monochrome designs - bunny, panda, raccoon and lion - they will blend perfectly into a modern living room.
If monochrome isn't your style then these washable cotton velvet playmats by Kip & Co come in gorgeous animal print, as well as a watermelon and pink and white swan print.
