Why MargotLoves Makes the Perfect Christmas Gift
Christmas gifts are easy to buy.
Meaningful Christmas gifts are much harder.
If you’re looking for something that feels personal, thoughtful and completely different from the usual toys, clothes and gift sets, a personalised MargotLoves weighted keepsake could be the gift they remember long after Christmas Day.
Each MargotLoves bear or bunny can be weighted to match a baby’s birth weight, creating a keepsake that represents just how tiny — or not so tiny — they were when they entered the world.
It’s more than a teddy.
It’s a moment in time, made tangible.
For New Parents: Their Baby’s Birth Weight to Hold Forever
The first Christmas with a new baby is one of those milestones families never forget.
But babies change unbelievably quickly.
That tiny newborn who once fitted perfectly in your arms soon becomes a rolling, crawling, walking toddler — and it becomes surprisingly difficult to remember exactly how small they once felt.
A MargotLoves birth-weight keepsake is weighted to match their baby’s birth weight, creating something parents can hold years later and instantly be transported back to those first few days.
Add their baby’s name, date of birth, time of birth and birth weight for an extra-personal Christmas present.
It’s a beautiful choice for:
- Baby’s first Christmas
- New mums and dads
- Newborn Christmas gifts
- Gifts from grandparents
- Godparent gifts
- Baby shower gifts bought ahead of Christmas
For Grandparents: A Gift That Represents Their Grandchild
Buying Christmas presents for grandparents can be notoriously difficult.
They often already have everything they need.
What they usually value most is something connected to their family.
A weighted keepsake matching their grandchild’s birth weight gives grandparents something deeply personal to display and treasure.
For grandparents with several grandchildren, you could even create a collection over the years — one keepsake representing each baby.
For Premature Babies and NICU Families
For parents of premature babies, birth weight can hold an especially powerful meaning.
A baby weighing just a few pounds — or sometimes only a few hundred grams — can be almost impossible to imagine once they’re bigger.
MargotLoves offers premature and tiny baby keepsakes designed specifically for those very small birth weights.
For parents who spent their baby’s first Christmas season reflecting on NICU, incubators, tiny nappies and milestones measured in grams, a keepsake representing just how tiny their baby once was can become incredibly precious.
It can also make a thoughtful Christmas gift for a NICU mum or dad when you’re unsure what to buy but want to acknowledge everything their family has been through.
For Parents Remembering a Baby Who Died
Christmas can be incredibly difficult when someone important is missing.
For bereaved parents, there is often no present they actually need.
Sometimes the most meaningful gift is simply one that says:
Their baby is remembered too.
MargotLoves began after I lost my daughter Margot at 40 weeks.
As time passed, one of the things I struggled with was remembering exactly what she had felt like to hold.
I made a teddy weighted to her birth weight so that I could hold something that represented the weight I remembered in my arms.
That idea eventually became MargotLoves.
Today I create weighted keepsakes for families remembering babies at every stage — from very early pregnancy loss through to full-term babies and older infants.
A personalised memorial bear or bunny can include their baby’s name, date, birth weight and other meaningful details, creating something tangible for parents to keep close.
For families experiencing baby loss, Christmas presents do not need to try to make things better.
Sometimes being remembered is enough.
For the Child Who Already Has Everything
Another plastic toy?
Another set of pyjamas?
Another overflowing toy box?
For children who already have plenty, a birth-weight keepsake is something completely different.
Imagine showing your child one day:
“This is exactly how much you weighed when you were born.”
It turns their own birth story into something they can physically understand.
As they grow, it becomes one of those family keepsakes that sparks conversations about the day they were born.
For Siblings
A birth-weight bear can also make a lovely gift for an older child when a new baby joins the family.
Children naturally love hearing stories about when they were the baby.
Giving them a bear representing their own birth weight can make their story feel just as special while everyone is understandably focused on the newest arrival.
For Someone Who Loves Truly Personal Gifts
There is personalisation…
…and then there is personalisation that actually means something.
A name printed on a mug is lovely.
But creating a keepsake that physically represents the weight of one of the most important people in someone’s life is something entirely different.
Every MargotLoves keepsake is made individually.
Your chosen bear or bunny is carefully weighted and then personalised with the details you choose.
No two stories behind them are exactly the same.

Made by a Small UK Business
When you buy a MargotLoves Christmas gift, it isn’t coming from a huge production line.
Every keepsake is prepared by our small family business in Hampshire.
MargotLoves was created from one very personal story and has now grown into a business that has made thousands of keepsakes for families across the UK and around the world.
We’ve sent bears to families across the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe — each one representing a completely different little person and story.
That is still something I never take for granted.
What Can I Personalise?
Depending on the design you choose, your keepsake can be personalised with details including:
- Baby’s name
- Date of birth
- Birth weight
- Time of birth
Personalisation is created using glitter vinyl, giving the finished design a subtle sparkle that looks especially lovely at Christmas.
Why It Makes Such a Special Christmas Present
The best Christmas gifts usually have one thing in common:
They make someone feel something.
A MargotLoves keepsake isn’t designed to be the biggest present under the tree.
It probably won’t be the loudest either.
But it might be the present someone picks up again years from now and says:
“I can’t believe they were ever this tiny.”
And that is exactly why I think they make such beautiful Christmas gifts.
Give Them Something They Can Keep Forever
Whether you’re shopping for a new mum, a grandparent, a NICU family, a bereaved parent or simply someone who deserves a gift with a little more meaning this Christmas, MargotLoves creates keepsakes made around one of the most personal details there is:
Their baby’s weight.
Because sometimes the smallest details become the things we treasure most.
Discover the MargotLoves Christmas collection and create a keepsake weighted to their baby’s birth weight.
Please note: MargotLoves weighted keepsakes are keepsakes for display and are not toys.
