Finding a baby gift can be quite a challenge. You want something that's not only fun and sweet, but also practical, safe, and durable. Something parents will truly love and that the baby can play with later on. The answer? Wooden toys!

At un-wrapped, we're fans of the beautiful, timeless wooden toys from Trixie and Jollein. These two brands know exactly how to combine soft colors, beautiful designs, and quality. And that makes choosing a baby gift a whole lot easier.

Why wooden toys are such a good choice

1. Strong and durable
Wooden toys last a lifetime. Okay, maybe not literally forever, but definitely years. Unlike plastic toys, which often break or get dusty quickly, wood is durable and develops a beautiful appearance with age. These are toys that last from baby to toddler, and sometimes even longer.

2. Natural and safe
We all know that babies put everything in their mouths. That makes it extra important that toys are free of harmful substances. Wooden toys from Trixie and Jollein are made of natural materials, without any nasty chemicals. Safety and health guaranteed.

3. Stimulates creativity and development
From simple blocks to stacking towers and puzzles: wooden toys encourage discovery and play. They stimulate motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and imagination. And believe us, that's worth its weight in gold in the early years.

4. Beautiful to see
Wooden toys are not only fun for children, but also for parents. The soft, neutral colors and stylish design of Trixie and Jollein fit perfectly into a modern interior. No flashy, plastic clutter, just pure style and simplicity.

Make the maternity gift extra special

Want to give the gift a little something extra? Combine a beautiful wooden toy with a soft stuffed animal or a lovely muslin cloth from Jollein. This creates a complete and loving package that will bring joy to everyone.


Why you score with wooden toys

In short, with wooden toys you give a gift with character. Something that's not only enjoyable now, but can also become a treasured keepsake later. It feels personal, durable, and thoughtful—exactly what you want when welcoming a new life.

So the next time you're looking for a baby shower gift, consider wood. It's the perfect gift that keeps on giving.
