New baby and baby shower gifts that last
Last checked:
The newborn gifts parents keep are the ones about the baby's own beginning: a custom song with the baby's name, the night sky exactly as it was above the place and hour of birth, or a photo print with a QR code that plays the family's voices. For a baby shower before the birth, choose something that doesn't need a birth date or photo yet — a song for the expected baby, or a Magic Book for an older sibling.
Our picks

The night sky
from €20Price on 15.09.2026. 20 €Why it fits: You choose the place, date and hour of the birth, and the stars are drawn exactly as they stood then, from an astronomical catalogue. No photo is needed, so it works even before there are good pictures, and it suits a nursery wall — as a poster, framed, on canvas or across three canvases.
Stars above the place, date and hour you choose · no photo needed · EU delivery included

Custom song
€9Price on 10.09.2026. 9 €Why it fits: A song with the baby's name, the parents' names and the story of how the baby arrived. It is ready the same day, so you can send it the moment you hear the news; many parents end up playing it at bedtime.

Photo print that speaks

Good to know
- The night sky and photo print are printed in Europe and delivered to all 27 EU countries, shipping included: up to 11 working days in Croatia and up to 15 elsewhere. For a visit to the new parents, a song is the fastest option.
- The night sky of the birth can only be ordered once the date and hour are known — for a baby shower, a song or a sibling book is the better choice.
- Songs and the Magic Book can be made in English, German, Croatian, Slovenian or Serbian (Latin or Cyrillic). You can design the photo print, night sky, calendar and T-shirt in English, and the dedication on a photo print can be in any language.
- Invitations with RSVP for a christening or welcome party are free.
What else people give
Practical gifts — nappies, clothes in bigger sizes (newborn sizes are outgrown in weeks), a cooked meal, help with chores — are often what new parents need most, and many have a list worth asking for. A personal keepsake doesn't replace that; it is the gift that is still there when the first bodysuits are gone.
Questions
- What is a meaningful gift for a newborn?
- A gift about the baby's own beginning: the night sky above the place and hour of birth, a song with the baby's name, or a photo print with a QR code that plays a family message. They stay meaningful as the child grows, unlike the first clothes.
- What can I give at a baby shower, before the baby is born?
- Something that doesn't need a birth date or photo: a song for the expected baby with the parents' names (and the baby's name, if they have shared it), or a Magic Book for an older sibling. The night sky is best ordered after the birth, when the date and hour are known.
- Do I need a photo for the night sky?
- No. You enter the place, date and hour, and the sky is drawn from an astronomical catalogue exactly as it was then.
- How long does a printed newborn gift take to arrive?
- It is printed after you order and delivered with shipping included: up to 11 working days in Croatia and up to 15 working days elsewhere in the EU.
- Can the song be in German, Croatian, Slovenian or Serbian?
- Yes. Songs can be made in English, German, Croatian, Slovenian or Serbian (Latin or Cyrillic).
