Whatever your situation, it is never easy to find original gift ideas for the whole family without exceeding the budget you have set. How to please your loved ones without spending too much? For adults, you can focus on the great Christmas classics: a book, a gift card, a beauty product, or even a DIY gift, appreciated for its creative, personal and inexpensive aspect.

Especially when you have a limited budget! A survey carried out by Ifop for Solidarity Donations reveals that for 54% of French people, the budget devoted to Christmas gifts will be less important than in previous years. Don’t panic: finding an inexpensive and original gift for baby is not impossible. Discover our ideas for less than 30 euros.
What gift to give a baby for Christmas in 2023?
Giving a gift obviously means hoping to please the person who receives it. In the case of a baby, the approach is a little different: since he is often too small to understand, why not focus instead on the useful aspect of the gift? The idea is to offer a gift that can support the child in his development, while pleasing his parents!). 89% of families also find it important that gifts promote their child’s development, according to a survey conducted by the Civey survey institute for the toy brand Tonies.
A useful gift to awaken baby’s senses
You can therefore bet on a gift to awaken baby’s senses… Some toys are made of several materials, to discover touch while having fun, such as the box of three rattles offered by Idkids at the price of 18.89 euros: shaped like a flower, cloud and cat, each of these rattles has a different texture and contains petals or even beads, to stimulate all the senses. Other sensory toys also produce sounds or music to stimulate toddlers’ hearing.
A personalized gift to treasure baby memories
What if you opted for a gift with strong sentimental value? Certain objects accompany us in time, and take us back to our fondest memories years later. You can opt for a book bringing together baby’s first times, but also for a birthday mat, or even for a kit to immortalize baby’s handprints. Nature & Découvertes, for example, offers one for 26 euros, made from a paste that is safe for toddlers’ skin. To offer at Christmas or as a birth gift!
A classic but revisited gift
Would you prefer to opt for a more classic but equally pleasant gift? The traditional soft toy always delights young and old alike. There are variations of the irreplaceable teddy bear, such as the adorable swan made from fibers of natural origin from the Konges Sløjd brand, sold at Smallable for 25 euros. Wooden toys are also a good option, and are not just reserved for big budgets: Action, for example, offers a wooden stacking tower for 3.99 euros, while Cultura offers small wooden push cars at a price of 7.99 euros.
