Ideas For Baby Gifts

Soothe Baby To Sleep With "Rockabye Baby"!

If you've got kids you're probably sick of the incessant jingle-jangle of cutesy lullabies such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Incy Wincy Spider. The trouble is you can't use the gut-pounding riffs of Led Zeppelin or the sombre angst of Nirvana to send baby off to boboland, can you? Well yes, actually you can, with Rockabye Baby CDs.

These revolutionary, award-winning albums contain instrumental lullaby versions of some of the world's greatest rock, alternative and metal anthems. No, really! The familiar melodies are just as hook-laden and rockin' as you remember but this time round they're played on delicate instruments such as the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and harp. Like, blissful, dude!

You haven't lived until you've heard Stairway to Heaven in lullaby form. And Enter Sandman by Metallica has to be heard to be disbelieved. But it's not all about Dad Rock because there's even a Coldplay Rockabye Baby CD (although we find non-lullabied Coldplay sufficiently soporific).

Stimulate Your Child's Imagination With "Bilibo"

Bilibo is anything kids want it to be. We all know kids enjoy playing with boxes more than the toys inside. In fact research suggests that non-specific playthings stimulate little minds far more than 'do this, do that' toys. And that's probably why Bilibo is collecting awards left, right and centre.

This peculiar looking plastic thingamajig is a completely open-ended plaything that stimulates a child's imagination like nothing you've ever seen. Is it a funny hat, a rocking toy, a snow shovel, a water basin, a tunnel, a cradle for teddy, a tortoise shell, a wobbly chair, a mask or a drum? It's all of these things and more. In fact Bilibo is anything kids want it to be. They can even stack 'em and rack 'em.

The 'nothing but everything' design of Bilibo is based on extensive research into the way pre-school children play and interact with objects. Its soft, curvaceous shape tweaks kids' innate curiosity and encourages them to become active and creative instead of consuming ready-made ideas. We just like wearing ours on our heads and using 'em to flick water at the boss.

Recommended for children of between 2 and 7 years old.

BabyPlane Spoon

Parents go to great lengths to get just one spoonful of nosh into baby's mouth. From the time-honoured 'choo-choo, here comes the train' technique to the lesser-known 'Aargh, please eat just one ikkle spoonful before I have a nervous breakdown' method.

For this reason we've been looking for a utensil that makes feeding time fun, not to mention a little more palatable. And we were on the verge of surrender when the whimsical BabyPlane Spoon zoomed into the Firebox creche.

Fashioned to resemble a comedy aeroplane, this stainless steel spoon is all set to become baby's best friend at mealtimes, Frustrated parents will love it too, because its colourful plastic wings and tailfin are designed to distract baby, thus allowing you to spoon some much needed sustenance into your obstinate little angel's cakehole.

The very latest Thermofocus 5 in 1 Thermometer with infra red, no contact operation is quite unique.

Thermofocus is a great nursery safety thermometer suitable for use by all the family. It has all the great benefits of the previous Thermofocus model but thanks to the new 'Home' button, it is possible to take many other temperatures such as baby's bath and food. Moreover, using that same button the Thermofocus can measure temperature at distance on other parts of the body such as the neck, navel or armpit. Thermofocus, thanks to the memory button, can recall the last 9 temperature measurements in Celcius & Fahrenheit Scales.

Nscessity Personal UV Monitor

The Nscessity Personal UV Monitor is an invaluable aid to protecting your children whenever they are out in the sun, at home or abroad. The Nscessity Personal UV Monitor calculates the safe exposure time based on inputting users skin type, SPF protection and then measuring the UV level. When the safe exposure time is up an alarm will sound.

Research shows that exposure to sunlight, coupled with the rapidly diminishing Ozone layer are cited as the main cause for the dramatic rise in the development of 'invasive primary coetaneous malignant melanoma', commonly know as Skin Cancer. Perhaps the most frightening fact is that Skin Cancer has its roots in childhood. Up to 80% of the damage caused through increased exposure occurs before the age of 18.

Comes with the necessary batteries and a wrist loop for ease of carrying!

Baby Sshh

Everyone loves babies. Trouble is the adorable little angels have a habit of crying. Lots. In fact experts reckon the average baby cries for 3 hours a day. And that's a mighty long time when you're an emotionally drained parent with pureed carrot all over your sleeves. So what's the solution? No, you don't hum tuneless lullabies, prance around the room impersonating a quacking horsy or start boo-hoo-ing yourself (although we've tried all three). You buy a Baby Sshh.

Scientifically developed by Tomy in association with the world-renowned Japan Acoustics Laboratory, headed by Dr Matsumi Suzuki, this revolutionary musical soft toy has been designed to bring baby's crying to a soothing halt. And unlike rival gizmos, it really works!

Momspit Cleanser

Remember when mum used to lick a hankie and wipe your face with it? We do. It was last week after we slopped gravy around our gobs during Sunday lunch.
