It’s congratulations all round this week as the pitter-patter of tiny feet – twinned with delights of endless crying and sleepless nights – hits Hollywood. Sarah Michelle Gellar, best known for her role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has given birth to a baby girl. Her husband is gorgeous actor Freddie Prinze Jr, so their daughter, Charlotte Grace Prinze, should be a real cutie.

Jude Law’s “special friend” Samantha Burke also gave birth to his baby this week – another girl, this time called Sophia. Congratulations to all of these famous new parents. Phew! The stork must be exhausted.

Here at All Things Gifts we’ve also been celebrating the births of three babies in our friendship circle this month. Was there something in the water nine months ago?

The most exciting thing about having a friend or family member give birth is the opportunity to buy their new baby a lovely present. And we’ve got loads of perfect pressies that baby is sure to love – in fact, mummy and daddy will love them too!

My Blue Nose Friends are super sweet soft toys that double up as collectors’ items – making them something baby can keep forever. We love Konker the Hedgehog, who is so cute that even his spikes are strokable! For another present that will last and last, choose this keepsake book, where baby’s proud parents can record her important first few months. And for babies who wish to beat the credit crunch, this lovely and practical money box will help the family to save in style.
