Hi from all of us at Baby Gifts Australia! Chinese New Year 2026 is fast approaching, and it’s a lovely time to celebrate new life, family connections, cultural joy and fresh beginnings — especially for the littlest ones in your life. If you’re looking for baby-friendly presents to mark this festive season, you’re in the right place. Here’s our guide to the five best Chinese New Year baby gifts that’ll make parents smile and bring special cheer to family gatherings right across Australia.
1. Newborn Baby Hamper — The All-In-One Celebration Pack
An all-in-one baby hamper from our curated collection is a fantastic choice for a newborn during Chinese New Year. We’ve got beautifully put-together bundles that combine soft clothing, snug swaddles, cuddly toys and practical staples — all presented in a premium gift box ready to be gifted Australia-wide.
These hampers are brilliant because they give parents useful, high-quality items in one lovely package. They take the guesswork out of gifting and give bub a stylish welcome to their first Lunar New Year season.
2. Personalised Baby Gifts — Make It Meaningful
There’s something extra special about a personalised item for a baby’s celebration. Our personalised gifts let you add names to items like blankets, bodysuits or soft toys — creating a keepsake that can become a treasured memory long after the New Year festivities have passed.
A personalised gift is perfect if you want your present to stand out on the day and feel as custom as possible. Picture a cute onesie with bub’s name on it or a plush toy that’s genuinely theirs — it’s a lovely way to bring an extra sprinkle of joy to the season.
3. Plush Toys and Sensory Items — Playful & Comforting
Soft toys and sensory toys make splendid baby gifts at Chinese New Year, especially for tiny ones who are just starting to explore the world through touch and sight. From gentle plush animals to high-contrast rattles and squeezable comforters, these gift ideas are fun and engaging for babies.
These items are simple but special — ideal for cuddles during the festive chaos of family visits, and lovely keepsakes long after the holiday has passed.
4. Neutral & Everyday Essentials — Practical & Stylish
Sometimes the best gifts are the ones parents will use day in, day out. Our neutral baby gift range includes organic cotton growsuits, cosy bodysuits, bibs, booties and bath essentials that are as practical as they are stylish.
Chinese New Year is a great time to give a gift that’s incredibly useful in the first months of life — cute little outfits in soft fabrics, towels for bath snug times and cosy wraps for morning cuddles. These are items parents always need more of, and you can’t go wrong with them.
5. Create Your Own Custom Baby Gift — Personal & Fun
If you’re feeling creative and want to build something just right for this occasion, our Create Your Own Gift experience is a brilliant option. You can handpick from our whole range — from blankets and toys to clothing and keepsakes — and arrange them to make a truly personalised baby hamper that suits your style and the vibe of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
It’s a lovely way to share your personal touch and build a gift that reflects your connection with the family you’re celebrating with. Go bold with colour, mix practical with playful pieces, and finish off with a heartfelt card for the new parents.
Tips for Gifting Festive Baby Presents
- Add a lucky colour touch: Red and gold are traditionally associated with good fortune and joy during Chinese New Year — a ribbon or card in these shades can lift your gift instantly.
- Think comfort first: Babies feel everything — soft, breathable fabrics and gentle toys make this time even more cuddly and comfortable.
- Pair with a card: A warm greeting like Gong Xi Fa Cai or Happy Lunar New Year makes your present feel even more personal and celebratory.
