Unique Personalised Baby Gifts for Boys
Gifts for baby boys often fall into one of two camps: everything baby blue, or everything with a digger on it. If you're after unique personalised baby gifts for boys that feel a little more considered, this list is for you. It's written for anyone buying for a new nephew or grandson, and every pick comes from the personalised and keepsake pieces Australian families order most from Fauve + Co, from small add-ons through to full gift boxes.
How we chose these personalised baby boy gifts
Each item below is a regular best seller across the Fauve + Co range. We kept the pieces that carry a name or are made to be kept, then leaned towards eucalyptus green and navy, because those shades suit a boy's nursery without relying on baby blue.
Unique baby boy gifts don't need to shout. A name embroidered in a clean font on a knit blanket says plenty, and it will still be in the cupboard when he starts school. We've grouped the picks by how they'll be used, so you can jump to the type of gift you have in mind.
Gift boxes that do the choosing for you
Build Your Own Gift Box
- Who it suits: givers who want to pick every piece, or add something small for mum alongside his gift.
- What you get: a box you fill yourself from across the range, including any of the personalised pieces further down this list, packed in Melbourne with an optional gift message. Start at the Build Your Own page.
- Keep in mind: more choice means more time spent choosing, and personalised items add a few business days before dispatch.
Brooklyn Baby Gift Box
- Who it suits: anyone after a finished arrival gift in soft eucalyptus green, which also works if the parents prefer gender-neutral colours.
- What you get: the Brooklyn Baby Gift Box holds a size 0 romper embroidered with his name and established year, an Aura Teether in Sage engraved with his name, a Lulu Crocheted Bunny in Grey and a set of two Gingham Sage bandana bibs.
- Keep in mind: the romper is a size 0 rather than newborn size, so it's one he will grow into.
Arlo Baby Gift Box
- Who it suits: families who like earthy tones and a little bit of play.
- What you get: highlights of the Arlo Baby Gift Box include a Personalised Script Name Romper in Eucalyptus with his name in script, an All4Ella Forest Friends bandana bib two-pack with truck designs, a Lulu Crochet Bunny in Taupe and a Timber Toy Car.
- Keep in mind: the romper is the only personalised piece, and at size 0000 it fits for the first weeks only.
Everyday pieces with his name on them
Personalised Cotton Knit Baby Blanket
- Who it suits: anyone who wants one strong single gift that gets used every day in the pram or bassinet.
- What you get: a lightweight, breathable 100% cotton knit blanket of about 100cm x 75cm, embroidered with his name. Our best-selling Mocha is a warm neutral, and the range also comes in navy and grey.
- Keep in mind: names are stitched exactly as typed, capitals included, so check the spelling with the parents first.
Personalised Hooded Baby Towel - White
- Who it suits: practical givers. Bath time happens every night, and this one goes on into the toddler years.
- What you get: the Personalised Hooded Baby Towel is 100% cotton, 80cm x 80cm, with a hood and his name embroidered. It comes in under $50.
- Keep in mind: white makes the embroidered name stand out, though it will show marks sooner than a darker towel.
Baby boy keepsake gifts to keep for years
Engraved Woodland Milestone Disc Set
- Who it suits: parents who'll be snapping monthly photos and love a warm, neutral look.
- What you get: the Engraved Woodland Milestone Disc Set is laser-cut plywood engraved with woodland animals and script lettering, starting with an "I'm Here" disc and running through his first year.
- Keep in mind: the discs aren't engraved with his name, and they're for photos rather than chewing.
Koala Acrylic Night Light
- Who it suits: a nursery gift with an Aussie touch, especially for family overseas sending something home.
- What you get: the Koala Acrylic Night Light has his name engraved into clear acrylic on a beechwood base with an LED light. It measures 16cm wide by 19cm high.
- Keep in mind: it plugs in via USB, so it needs a USB power source near the cot or change table.
Quick guide to unique personalised baby gifts for boys
Most baby boy personalised gifts on this list land in one of four situations. Pick the one that sounds like you.
- One gift that makes an impression: the Brooklyn box, or a box you build yourself.
- Something he'll use daily: the cotton knit blanket or the hooded towel.
- Parents who love a photo: the woodland milestone discs.
- A smaller budget: the hooded towel and the Koala night light both come in under $50.

Frequently asked questions about personalised baby boy gifts
What should I buy if the baby boy hasn't been named yet?
Plenty of parents keep the name quiet until the birth. You can wait and order once it's announced, since personalisation only adds a few business days, or choose a keepsake that doesn't need a name, like the woodland milestone discs.
Do personalised baby gifts for boys have to be blue?
Not at all. Our boy picks lean on eucalyptus green and mocha, which sit nicely in most nurseries. If the parents do love blue, the Cotton Knit blanket also comes in navy.
Can I order personalised baby boy gifts Australia wide?
Yes. Every order is packed in Melbourne and shipped Australia-wide, with free shipping over $100. You can add a gift message and send the box straight to the family, and Melbourne metro customers can choose same-day delivery.
How do I make sure his name is spelled right?
Names are embroidered or engraved exactly as you type them, including capital letters. Confirm the spelling with the parents, especially for names with a few common versions, and check your entry once more at checkout.
