Gifts for new parents (employees & colleagues): 7 high-quality ideas that really fit
What do you give a colleague or employee for a birth? Almost every team asks themselves this question at some point. It should be personal, but not too private. High-quality, but not excessive. And ideally, quickly organized.
At Schmatzepuffer, we've been dealing with personalized baby gifts for births every day since 2011 and have already produced several million gifts. Time and again, it's clear: standard gifts are quickly forgotten – personalized gifts last.
The best solution if you are unsure
- For teams: high-quality personalized gift
- For individual colleagues: small personalized gift or cuddly toy
- For last-minute: digital voucher (often available within 60 minutes)
Why personalized gifts for birth are the best choice in the workplace
A gift for the birth of a colleague or employee should show appreciation – without appearing inappropriate. This is exactly where personalized baby gifts are ideal: they are emotional, but not too private. High-quality, but not excessive.
From our daily practice, we know that gifts with names and birth dates work best, especially in a professional environment. They appear thoughtful and are remembered long-term.

A memory box is one of the most sustainable gift ideas for birth. Parents store important memories in it – from the first days to the first years.
5. Gift for birth in a team: giving together
When several colleagues contribute, a significantly stronger gift emerges. Our experience shows: a high-quality, personalized gift has a much greater impact than many small individual gifts.
6. Gift for birth from the employer
A gift from the employer should be professional and appreciative. Personalized baby gifts are ideal here because they are emotional but still remain neutral.
7. Gift for a colleague on maternity leave
When a colleague has just become a mother, the gift should be particularly appreciative. At the same time, it should not appear too private in a professional environment.
Personalized baby gifts are ideal here because they are emotional but still remain professional.
