Choosing a gift for a family member or friend’s newborn baby can feel like an impossible task. More often than not, you will purchase the same cuddle toy as someone else, an item of clothing that the baby grows out of really quickly or a sentimental gift that ends up collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. However, thankfully, there is a brilliant gift solution for any new parents; baby sensory toys or baby sensory boxes, in particular.

It can be easy to overlook sensory toys when buying a gift for a newborn baby, often because people don’t know that much about them, but they really are the perfect unique gift. If you’ve never considered buying a baby sensory gift box for a loved one’s baby before, below are just a few of the reasons why it is the ideal gift for all new parents.

Sensory boxes can be used from a really young age

When searching for toys that are suitable for babies who are less than one year old, you may feel like you have very few options. More often than not, all of the items in a sensory gift box can be used from a very young age and they will help a newborn start to learn about themselves and the world around them. When using a baby sensory box, new parents can start exploring lots of fun sensory activities with their little one even if they’re only a couple of months old.

Sensory boxes will be enjoyed by a baby

You can almost guarantee that a newborn baby will absolutely love all of the different items in a sensory box as they’re designed to be intriguing to curious babies. Unlike other toys that little ones won’t be interested in for a good few months, sensory items will bring hours of fun and joy to both parent and baby in the first year. Playtime will never get boring either and there are so many different engaging sensory experiences to create with a sensory box.

Sensory boxes can be used to make memories

Spending time playing together is a great way for parents to strengthen their bond with their newborn baby in those first few precious months. When you buy a baby sensory box as a gift, you will be providing your family member or friend with lots of different toys that they can use to create unforgettable sensory bonding experiences for them and their little one. Lots of new parents struggle to know how to play with their baby in the first few months, but a sensory box will provide lots of inspiration for playtime.

Sensory boxes are full of different sensory toys

Within a baby sensory gift box, you will find a number of different items that can be played with. From foil blankets and organza scarves to egg shakers and ribbon rings, all of these sensory items are designed to be enjoyed by those with little hands and it goes without saying that giving a newborn baby a box full of toys that can be used in so many different ways is much better than giving them a singular gift that they might not even be able to play with.

Sensory boxes aid early years development

Not only are the items in a baby sensory box fun to play with, but they also support early development too and they can be really effective in helping little ones reach their first milestones. Sensory play has been found to support brain development and help build skills such as; gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, social and problem-solving, and it can be incredibly beneficial for all babies. So, this type of gift is actually really thoughtful.
