Tips for choosing the perfect Swiss baby shower gift

  • Choose something unique and meaningful: Gifts like our cashmere blanket or handmade baby set are not just beautiful—they’re one-of-a-kind, made from upcycled materials that would otherwise go to waste. Offering a piece with a story adds emotional value and sets your gift apart.
  • Prioritize certifications: Look for GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified labels. These ensure the product is safe for delicate baby skin and meets rigorous environmental and ethical standards—something Swiss parents deeply care about.
  • Support small European makers: At Dear Gaia, we partner with small EU-based artisans and brands that share our values. Every product is crafted with care, not mass-produced—making your gift more personal, responsible, and aligned with conscious Swiss living.
  • Go practical but beautiful: Think long-term: basics like organic cotton rompers, versatile bodysuits, or gift cards are not only practical, but also beautifully made and easy to mix and match with any baby wardrobe.
  • Add a personal touch: A handwritten card or a small note makes your sustainable gift even more special. It’s a small gesture that’s widely appreciated at Swiss baby showers and adds a heartfelt finishing touch.
