A good newborn gift for a boy doesn't have to cost 80 euro and doesn't have to be blue.
klikkie gifts are physical, thoughtful, and capture something: a photo subscription, a Memory Box, a personal photo book or a photo album.
Six options below, with prices and when they fit best.
Key Takeaways
The first weeks with a newborn are short and chaotic. Gifts pour in, and most of them disappear into a drawer or box within three months. What parents still use a year later is almost never the most expensive set, but the gift that captures something from that first stage.
Six klikkie gifts built for exactly that.
1. Photo subscription: 10 prints on the doormat every month
A klikkie photo subscription sends 10 printed photos to the parents every month. They pick the photos in the app, klikkie prints them and sends them in a black envelope.
Why it works as a newborn gift: the first months are the most photographed of a person's life. This gift captures exactly that period without the parents having to do anything. Instead of yet another item for the nursery, a physical memory lands on the fridge every month.
Price: 30 euro for 3 months, 55 euro for 6, 95 euro for 12 months. Give it as a physical gift card with a ribbon or as a digital code by email.
When not: if the parents already have an active subscription. Ask first.
2. Memory Box: for hats, hospital bands and the first photos
The klikkie Memory Box is a soft-touch box of 21×16.5×4.5 cm with a magnetic closure. It fits every klikkie photo format and has room for a full year of photos plus the first hats and the hospital wristband.
Why it works: parents open it, get it straight away, use it that same week. No extra clutter, just a box where everything fits.
Price: 15 euro.
When not: for a second or third child, since parents often already have one.
3. A personal photo book of the first months, as a surprise
Don't make the parents put it together, do it yourself. Collect photos from a shared chat group and make a Pocket or Large photo book of the first stretch after a few months. Wrap it and give it on the first birthday or at Christmas dinner.
Why it works: parents are too busy in the first months to make a book themselves. Someone who does it for them gives a gift they would never have thought of.
Price: Pocket from 12 euro, Large from 25 euro.
When not: if you don't have easy access to family photos, because no photos means no book.
4. Starter Set: a scrapbook album for the first months
The klikkie Starter Set is a 40-page photo album that lies flat, with photo corners and a white pen. It pairs directly with klikkie prints: parents stick their favourites on a double spread, add a date, and get a personal scrapbook.
Why it works: it's a physical project parents can do quietly at the weekend. Visitors can add a note. A shared project, not homework.
Price: 35 euro. Pairs strongly with a photo subscription: klikkie prints slot straight into the corners.
When not: if the mother already loves crafting and has her own materials.
5. Photo album Happy or Family & Friends: an album that stays
The klikkie photo albums (Happy, Family & Friends, Good Times, It's About Us) are classic photo albums of 35 to 50 euro, built to last for years. Parents use them for their favourite prints from the subscription or for loose photos.
Why it works: an album on the shelf is something that lasts. No seasonal gift, no passing trend.
Price: Happy and Family & Friends 35 to 40 euro, It's About Us 50 euro.
When not: if parents prefer a new book each year over a single album that holds everything.
6. Combination: photo subscription plus Memory Box
A common combination: a 3-month photo subscription (30 euro) plus the Memory Box (15 euro). For 45 euro together you cover both capturing and keeping the first months.
For a bigger group of friends or family: a 6-month photo subscription (55 euro) plus the Starter Set (35 euro). For 90 euro a gift that parents still use every month a year in.
What to skip
Clothes in size 50 and 56. Parents already get twenty of these. Often from brands the grandmothers love, that the baby wears for one week.
Bulk soft toys. The box in the nursery is full after three months. One special soft toy is something else than a set of four.
Lotion and fragrance sets. Newborns have sensitive skin. Parents stick to one brand on purpose, not ten different tubes.
