Beebila

For Everybody Else In The Room.

An enormous amount of thought goes into what the baby will wear and almost none into the afternoon itself, which is a shame, because a baby shower with nothing to do is two hours of people asking each other how far along you are. Beebila makes the card games that fix it: Name Race, Baby Facts Trivia, Mum or Dad, a food tasting set, and a mammals edition for the competitive. They cost about the same as a bunch of flowers and are considerably more use.

The other half of the range is for the grandparents, who tend to be entirely overlooked in all this. Embroidered organic cotton sweatshirts with the name on the collar, in Grandad and in Morfar, which is the Scandinavian for a mother's father and rather a lovely thing to give somebody stepping into the role for the first time. There are rattle bunnies too, in blue, pink and yellow, for the one person in the room who will not be reading the collar.

For more for the smallest members of the household, have a browse of our gifts for children and bump to baby collections, or carry on to play, toys and games, gifts for him and stationery and cards. There are more good presents in our gifts edit, and more from the Continent in European brands.
