Rainbow Baby Gifts

Giving a rainbow baby gift is a beautiful way to celebrate the upcoming or recent birth of someone who has experienced pregnancy loss. We have a beautiful and tasteful selection of rainbow-themed gift boxes above or alternatively you can build your own below.

What is a rainbow baby?

A rainbow baby is a term used for a baby born following a previous pregnancy loss. The loss could be in the form of a stillborn, miscarriage, blighted ovum or ectopic pregnancy. Rainbow babies are celebrated on the 22nd of August.

Should you give a rainbow-themed gift?

Don’t be nervous about giving a gift to someone who has experienced pregnancy loss. The recipient will love the extra thought you have given to buying them a rainbow-themed present. You can give this either before or after birth. If you decide to give it before the baby is born we recommend waiting until at least 24 weeks.

What should it include?

We have compiled a range of rainbow baby gift boxes that are ready to go or you can build your own. When compiling a gift there are some things to consider. These are;

• Rainbow – If you choose a rainbow theme make sure there are lots of bright colours or products with a rainbow pattern.
• Safe – All the products should be safe and age-appropriate. The items should have tags and be inspected for quality.
• Practical – All the gift boxes should be practical and contain items that will be needed rather than items that just look nice.
• Organic and Eco-Friendly – The products and packaging should be made from sustainable and organic materials. Our rainbow gift sets are made using organic materials and our packaging is made from recycled cardboard.

Other Types of Rainbow Babies

There are other ways to celebrate the birth of a baby after previous losses. These include

• Double Rainbow Baby – This refers to the pregnancy or birth of a child after the mother has had two pregnancy losses.

• Golden Rainbow Baby – If the parents have a second healthy baby this can be called a golden rainbow baby. This is a chance to celebrate that the mum has delivered two healthy children after the original loss of a pregnancy. 

• Sunshine Baby – This term is used for the baby that was born prior to the loss of a child.

• Angel Baby – An angel baby refers to a baby that passes away during pregnancy, during birth or soon after birth.
