The checklist for the perfect baby gift is long… too long. It needs to be practical, adorable, affordable, thoughtful... and if it’s Instagram-worthy, even better! The good news? Funny baby grows tick every single box.
In this guide, we’ll dive into why funny baby grows (also known as baby bodysuits, onesies, or rompers) are one of the best baby gifts UK parents secretly want, whether you’re shopping for a baby shower, first Christmas, or just because...
So, let’s get right into it 👇
1. The Balance Between Personality and Practicality
The best baby gifts strike that sweet spot between personality and practicality. Sure, you can grab some quirky novelty gift, and yes, it might get a laugh from Mum and Dad — but a month from now, will it still be funny or useful? Probably not. On the flip side, buying a plain, practical baby bodysuit is the safe bet… but it can feel a bit low-effort. Like getting money for Christmas — thoughtful in its way, but not exactly memorable.
That’s why funny baby grows shine. Baby clothing is essential (parents always need more), but when you add a relatable, gym-themed, or cheeky print on the front? Absolute chef’s kiss. You’ve got something they’ll genuinely use every day and laugh about every time they see it.
2. Affordable Baby Gifts That Still Look Thoughtful
Ah, the classic dilemma: no one wants to look cheap when buying baby gifts, but you also don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. Once again, funny baby grows to the rescue!
They tick the “thoughtful” box because the humour or theme (like gym, coffee, or sleep-deprived parenting jokes) shows personality and effort. And as for affordability? Unless you’re shopping for a gold-plated option, the best and funniest baby bodysuits usually cost under £20 — making them budget-friendly without looking it.
3. Perfect Gift for Every Occasion
Christmas, birthdays, baby showers… there’s always a reason to buy a baby gift, and funny baby grows (or onesies, rompers, bodysuits — take your pick!) tick the box every single time. While some gift-givers go down the seasonal route (think reindeer prints at Christmas or bunnies at Easter), these can feel a bit limiting.
Evergreen designs with cheeky quotes, gym themes, or relatable parenting humour work all year round. They’re the type of baby outfit parents actually reach for, whether it’s January or July, making them a reliable and fun gift that never goes out of style.
4. The Instagram & TikTok Factor
It’s 2025, and let’s be honest, social media plays a role in almost everything... even baby gifts. While it might not be the main reason you buy, seeing your funny baby grow (or onesie/romper) make it onto the parents’ Instagram story or TikTok, I mean that is a win!
And why not? A hilarious slogan or gym-themed baby outfit is practically made for photos. These gifts aren’t just cute in person, they’re shareable, which makes them the kind of present parents love showing off online. Call it a bonus point on top of being practical and thoughtful.
5. Pairing With Other Gifts
Linking back to affordability — funny baby grows, onesies, and rompers make the perfect add-on to round out a gift. On their own, they’re thoughtful, practical, and hilarious. But paired with something else? That’s when you really win the room.
Think of matching a hilarious onesie with a baby teether (practical and guaranteed to be used daily), adding a baby book (always appreciated by parents), or a Hazza Toyz plush dumbbell alongside our own “Milk. Nap. Lift. Repeat.” baby grow, creating a fitness-themed set parents won’t forget.
