Why a MargotLoves Gift Card Makes the Perfect Gift for Expecting Parents
Buying a gift for a new baby can be surprisingly difficult.
Tiny clothes are beautiful, but babies grow out of them quickly. Toys are lovely, but parents often receive more than they need. And if you are shopping before baby arrives, you might not know their name, birth date or even exactly what the parents would choose themselves.
That is why a MargotLoves gift card can make such a special baby shower, pregnancy or new baby gift.
Rather than choosing something that may only be used for a few months, you are giving parents the opportunity to create a keepsake connected to one of the most important moments of their lives.
A gift they can use after baby arrives
MargotLoves creates personalised keepsake bears and bunnies that can be weighted to match a baby’s birth weight.
That means an expecting parent does not need to know their baby’s weight before receiving their gift.
You can give them a MargotLoves gift card during pregnancy or at their baby shower, and once their little one arrives they can return to our website, choose their favourite keepsake and personalise it with their baby’s details.
It turns a baby shower present into something they can treasure long after the newborn stage has passed.
Perfect when you don’t know what to buy
Baby shopping can feel like a minefield.
Which colour do they like? Have they already bought it? What size clothes does baby need? Have three other people already purchased the same thing?
A gift card takes away the guesswork.
Parents can choose the bear, bunny or keepsake they love most and add the personalisation that means something to them.
It is still an incredibly thoughtful gift — but they get to create the final piece themselves.
More meaningful than another newborn outfit
There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying beautiful baby clothes, blankets or toys.
But sometimes you want to give something a little different.
A MargotLoves keepsake is designed to represent a moment in time.
Years later, when the tiny sleepsuits have been packed away and baby has somehow become a toddler, child or teenager, their keepsake can still represent just how little they once were.
That makes a gift card particularly lovely from:
- grandparents
- aunties and uncles
- close friends
- godparents
- colleagues
- baby shower guests
- groups buying one larger present together
A lovely baby shower gift
Gift cards work especially well for baby showers because so many of the important details are still unknown.
Baby may not have arrived yet, their birth weight certainly is not known, and some parents choose not to reveal their baby’s name until after the birth.
Instead of trying to predict everything beforehand, you can give them a gift they can enjoy choosing once their baby is here.
It is also ideal for parents who prefer to buy fewer, more meaningful items rather than receiving lots of traditional baby gifts.
Perfect for second and third babies too
Buying for a second or third baby can sometimes be even harder.
Parents may already own the pram, cot, clothes, toys, blankets and practically every piece of baby equipment imaginable.
A personalised keepsake gives you something completely individual to that baby.
Every birth story is different.
Every birth weight is different.
And every child deserves something that celebrates their own arrival.
A thoughtful pregnancy gift
You do not have to wait for a baby shower either.
A MargotLoves gift card can be given when somebody announces their pregnancy, at a gender reveal, before maternity leave, or simply because you want to celebrate their growing family.
Then, when baby arrives, the parents can use it towards the keepsake that feels right for them.
Created by a small UK business
Every MargotLoves keepsake is made individually rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf.
MargotLoves began with one very personal keepsake and has since created thousands of bears for families around the world.
Each order represents somebody’s baby, somebody’s story and somebody’s memories.
Choosing a MargotLoves gift card therefore also means supporting a small UK business while giving something far more personal than a standard high-street gift voucher.
Not just for newborn babies
MargotLoves keepsakes are not only purchased immediately after birth.
Parents regularly discover the idea months or even years later and choose to have a keepsake made using the birth details they have saved.
That means a gift card can also make a beautiful present for:
First birthdays
Create something that reminds parents how tiny their one-year-old once was.
Christenings and naming ceremonies
A meaningful alternative to more traditional gifts.
First Christmas gifts
Something that can become part of the family’s memories rather than another toy.
Grandparent gifts
A wonderful way for grandparents to give their son or daughter something meaningful after welcoming a new baby.
Let them create a keepsake that’s completely theirs
The best gifts are often the ones people would love to have but might not necessarily think to buy for themselves.
A MargotLoves gift card gives parents the freedom to choose the design and personalisation they love, while you still get to give them something genuinely meaningful.
Because babies grow incredibly quickly.
But remembering just how little they once were?
That is something worth keeping.
Give a MargotLoves gift card and let them choose a keepsake made especially for their baby.
MargotLoves weighted keepsakes are keepsake items and are not toys.
