Gender Neutral Baby Gifts

As a society, we're beginning to recognise how we unintentionally enforce gender stereotypes on children. With this cultural shift, the 'blue is for boys and pink is for girls' mindset has become pretty outdated. Babies needn’t be restricted in what colours they wear or what toys they play with!

Thankfully, there are plenty of gender-neutral baby gifts out there. If you have a loved one that's pregnant or already has a newborn, you've come to the right place. Here at Solibee, we aim to make gender-less shopping for baby gifts as easy as can be! Here are some tips for gender-neutral baby gift shopping and some fun ideas that every new parent will love. 

What Colours Are Gender Neutral?

The reality is, all colours are gender-neutral. As parents (and friends of parents!), we should have the freedom to purchase baby clothes and toys in all the colours of the rainbow. 

That being said, you can also opt for colours that aren't typically associated with gender stereotypes. In this case, your best bet is with neutral and earthy colours. Imagine various shades of cream, grey, green, blue, orange, and yellow that remind you of the sea, the sun, trees, autumn leaves, and other aspects of nature. Need help choosing the gift itself? We can help with that too! Here are a few ideas for gender-neutral gifts that both baby and mum will adore. 

Soothing Baby-Safe Teethers

Most babies start teething around 6 months (though our two thought they were in a race at 3 and 4 months respectively!) Their gums will be very sore during this time, so anything that can offer relief will be greatly appreciated by baby and mum. This is what makes teethers such fantastic gifts for both baby boys and baby girls. 

At Solibee, we carry teether rings made with smooth natural beechwood and soft silicone beads that massage sore gums. They come in multiple earthy colours, including butterscotch and sage green. We also carry rainbow stackers, which consist of five multi-coloured teething toys, all stacked on top of each other!

Divided Plate Sets

Divided plate sets are another great gender-neutral baby gift! Divided plates can help motor skill development, keep mess to a minimum, and make eating time more fun. 

Our divided plate sets feature a variety of eye-catching artwork and patterns that babies and toddlers love. We carry plate sets adorned with artwork of all different kinds of animals, from sloths to whales. When shopping for gender-neutral baby gifts, items featuring animal print or animal designs are very reliable choices. 

Roly Poly Toys

If you're specifically looking for toy gifts, we highly recommend our Roly Poly toys. We currently carry an adorable cockatoo Roly Poly and a koala Roly Poly. These toys are ideal for babies that are learning to crawl and are at least 3 months old. 

Roly Poly toys can be pushed, pulled, and knocked over, but they always bob back up. This introduces babies to cause and effect. Plus, they make a cute tinkling bell sound and have grip points for added textural interest! What's not to love?

Cosy Muslin Wraps

Muslin wraps are a wonderful gift. They can be used as a pram cover, protect babies from the sun during breastfeedings, and add extra warmth and comfort to cuddle time. So, swaddles aren’t just for swaddling!  The best thing is, you can never have too many muslins so they’re great to bestow upon parents and babies.

At Solibee, we carry lightweight, breathable, and organic muslin wraps that are gentle on a baby's sensitive skin. Our machine washable muslin wraps feature a variety of eye-catching and gender-neutral designs like the woods-inspired Alpha, the fruity Golden Pears and the delicate Dandelion in natural. We also have a large range of solid coloured muslin swaddles in gender neutral tones, like Bronze, Azure, Storm and Sage.
