Though hugs have been a no-no in the post-COVID world, thankfully our babies can still readily receive them from their parents and caregivers! It is an essential part of their wellbeing and helps them to feel safe. Learn more about the benefits of hugging in our latest blog post, inspired by Australian children’s book "I need a Hug” by author Aaron Blabey, which is stocked in our hamper shop.

Sharing stories, singing, and talking helps baby’s development, and is a great way to stimulate their imagination.

These activities – done every day – help your baby to familiarise themselves with sounds, words, language and eventually the love and joy of books. This builds baby’s early literacy and listening skills in a way that is fun and engaging for them.

For parents, reading is also a great time to build the bond between you and your child.

We’ve welcomed two new blue and pink soft huggable bunnies to our gift hamper shop! The two newbies – blue Baxter and pink Betsy bunny – have been designed by Australian business OB Designs, which is based in Byron Bay, Australia. These soft fabric toys are loved by children because they are so cuddly and come with fun bios.

Unsure what to put in a baby hamper or don't know where to start?

We detail all of this, plus lots of great extra tips, in our latest blog.
