Gifts for New Parents

Gifts for new parents from Printerpix can be for the two of them, not the crib: a mug each for 3 a.m. feeds, or the photo book they keep meaning to make.

More about personalized gifts for New Parents

A personalized gift works because it could only have come from you. Everything on this page starts with a photograph you already have, or a handful of words only you would think to write down, a saying, a year, the name everyone calls them.

Each idea on this page is a layout rather than a finished picture: you choose it, put your own photos and words into it, see exactly how it will look, and only then decide what to print it on.

If none of them is right, describe them in your own words instead. You do not need to know what you want, that is what the brief is for.

FAQ About Gifts for New Parents

What are the top gifts for new parents?

Top gifts for new parents are as much about the couple as the baby. Try matching mugs with a photo from their dating days, or a framed print from their last vacation as a twosome. Or a Printerpix photo book of their first year as parents, with notes from the friends who know them best.

What is a useful gift for new parents?

A useful gift for new parents takes a job off their list. The grandparents' photo calendar is one they will not get to, so build it from the pictures they have already texted you. For a first Christmas as parents, add a Printerpix Mom and Dad Est. mug for each of them, marking the year they became parents.

What is a thoughtful gift for parents who just had a baby?

A thoughtful gift for parents who just had a baby is a framed print of the first photo of the three of them, for their own bedroom rather than the nursery. Or a puzzle of the couple to finish when the baby finally naps. It reminds them they are still a pair.

What do you get new parents who seem to have everything?

New parents who seem to have everything already have the crib, the stroller and the monitor. A photo of both of them with the baby, taken by a friend so neither parent is behind the camera, is easy to miss. A Printerpix canvas print of that picture fills the gap.

What are good new parent present ideas I can make on my phone?

Good new parent present ideas you can make on a phone start with photos they have shared: a mug with both their names, or a framed print of the couple with a few words of your own. A photo calendar for the grandparents is another easy one, and you can look the finished gift over in full first.

What is a personalized birth announcement gift?

A personalized birth announcement gift is the Hello World design: the baby's name and the details of the day they arrived, set out like an announcement. Printerpix prints it on a canvas print, a blanket or a framed print for the nursery, and Welcome Little One circles a baby photo with illustrated animals on a blanket.

How long does it take to arrive?

Made to order in 1 to 3 working days, then sent with tracking. Delivery options and costs for your address are shown at the checkout, before you pay.

What if I do not have good photos?

You need fewer than you think. Plenty of these take a single picture, and some take none at all, the ones built from names, dates and a few lines you write yourself.

Can I change my mind after I have started?

Yes. Nothing is printed until you have seen a preview and confirmed it, so you can change the photos, the words or the product itself up to that point.

What if it arrives and it is not right?

Tell us. Every order is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: not right? We’ll reprint it or refund you.

Is it really made from my own photos?

Yes, that is the whole point. Your original photo is never altered; whatever you make is produced alongside it, so you keep both.
