5 Grandparent Gift Ideas for New Baby & Mom On Tuwi

Think up the perfect gift ideas for a new grandchild at Christmas can be a hard task. After all, you want to find a gift that’s (almost) as special as they are. This is where the unique qualities of baby alpaca wool standout. If you’re searching for a gift to show your love for new baby and mom this Christmas, baby alpaca clothing is a great place to start.

The Tuwi story began with a search to find the best material to suit babies. This is how we found baby alpaca wool and here’s why we feel in love with its special qualities:

• Baby alpaca wool is delicately soft and 100% hypoallergenic. Free from impurities and luxuriously fine, baby alpaca wool is soothing on sensitive baby skin.
• Unique thermal qualities make breathable garments which keep babies warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot. This is important for new babies who cannot regulate their own body temperatures.
• It’s long-lasting. Unlike other wools, baby alpaca doesn’t pill, meaning it maintains its quality for a number of years- an ideal way to help mom save money.
• Ethically sourced, baby alpaca wool is fully sustainable. Alpacas do not damage the land they graze on and produce a much higher ratio of wool than other livestock. And, let’s not forget the durability of alpaca wool, helping to save the planet and mom’s wallet alike.

With these superb qualities in mind, we’ve picked some of our favourite ethical gift ideas for grandparents to give to new baby and mum.
