The Top 3 Christmas Gifts for New Parents in 2025

The holiday season is upon us, and that means so many good things! Getting the Christmas tree and decorations ready, planning for the big day and all the yummy food you’ll eat - and gifts!

This time of year is the season of gift-giving, which we know can be challenging for some! What do you get the new parents who seem to have everything already? It can be tricky to find something different from what everyone else is likely already getting. 

If you want to get them something they’ll actually love and use, we’ve got you covered. Below is our top list of great gifts for new parents this Christmas.

1. A family photoshoot.

Many new parents love taking photos of their newborn, but often struggle to find the time to plan a family photoshoot. Finding and preparing this for them is a gift they’ll cherish for years to come.

Sometimes they might coordinate an outdoor photoshoot in a location that’s meaningful to the parents, and many will visit the couple at their home to take photos in their own happy environment. It’s a great way to get candid photos that the whole family will love.

Professional photographers who offer newborn and family photo shoots can charge different prices. Start by researching local photographers and getting some quotes. You can ask other friends and family members to contribute to the gift to share the expense and gift the new parents something truly meaningful.

2. A subscription they’ll love.

You can find a subscription service for just about everything these days! And for new parents who might not have the time to prioritise themselves, gifting a subscription that will help make their life easier can be fun, helpful and very welcome!

From monthly dinner kits to flower subscriptions, parenting apps or magazines to Kindle subscriptions, try to think of something you know parents will find genuinely useful. If you can’t find something suitable, why not create your own? You could send a quarterly gift basket with nappies, clothes, and other essentials tailored to the baby's growth. 

Many of these services offer subscriptions ranging from 3 months to 1 year, so you can gift something that aligns with your budget.

3. A MiniTown gift voucher.

Help new parents explore engaging, educational play options for their child when the time is right with a MiniTown gift voucher!
