After a year like no other, everyone wants to make Christmas extra special for family and friends in 2020, especially when it comes to gifting. Unfortunately, with the continued nationwide lockdown and the need to stay at home, popping to the shops or out to deliver presents isn’t as easy as it once was - leaving us all looking for innovative solutions to festive preparation.

The launch of JoJo Maman Bébé’s gift-wrapping couldn’t have been better timed then. The online service can be used on hundreds of their best-selling products including toys, baby outfits and gifts for new parents, meaning you don’t need to negotiate the Post Office or a customer service helpline in order to send to your loved ones. Just add it to your basket.

For only £6 per order, not only will your purchases arrive beautifully wrapped but you can add a personalised message too, meaning it will feel personal, as well as looking professional.  

There are four designs to choose from - each in the distinctive JoJo style; the signature ditsy flower, fox and elephant prints, as well as a new Christmas design. And, as ever, the environmentally-aware brand has ensured the materials used can all be recycled. 

Founded in 1993 by Laura Tenison MBE, JoJo Maman Bébé is now one of the UK’s leading mother and baby boutique brands. During the pandemic many people have started considering the values of the brands they are buying with; opting for independent business rather than mass production, planet conscious, quality over quantity, and supportive of its workforce.

Despite JoJo's phenomenal growth, these are all still core company values 27 years later. In 2016, in recognition of their longstanding commitment to these values, JoJo Maman Bébé became the first UK mother and baby retailer to become a certified B-corp (meaning it reached the highest standards of social and environmental performance).  

For Christmas shoppers looking to embrace these positive values but not compromise on choice, JoJo Maman Bébé has a large collection of imaginative and practical items for parents-to- be as well as families with young children. Everything from clothing to gifts, toys, and nursery equipment. Whether you’re looking for adorable stocking fillers or treasured childhood keepsakes, their website boasts a great range of gifting options.  

The wooden Christmas skittles (£16 for a set of six) are charming and timeless - and will entertain big kids as much as little kids. To bring your storytelling to life, consider the penguin hand puppet (£10) made from soft plush velour fabric. For those looking for something more traditional - the soft nativity set (£36) is the perfect way to play, learn and teach your little ones the classic nativity story. Or what about a set of wooden Christmas characters (£15) to inspire imaginative play over the holidays? Many of the toys can have your child’s name added for that extra special Christmas touch.

Once you’ve stocked up on enough toys to fill Santa’s sack (you can get personalised stockings from just £15), there are plenty of gorgeous outfits for your baby or toddler to wear to impress the in-laws (even if it is just on Zoom). The reindeer fair isle all-in-one (£26) is not only adorable but also made from a high-quality cashmere blend. And it’s machine washable. It also comes in a sweet dress version (£26) - and just look at those reindeer pockets. 

For babies, there is the elf sleepsuit and hat set (£21), which lets be honest is more for the adults than the child - and the Father Christmas baby set (£21), which is so cute we won’t want them to take off until at least the New Year. For older children try the kid’s reindeer towelling robe (£18) for a functional and fun item, or the mix and match pyjamas (£18). Who wouldn’t want to wear those on Christmas Eve?

The brand’s motto is to “take pride in everything we do” - a promise which has won the brand royal customers including Kate Middleton and her daughter, Princess Charlotte. But even if you don’t have a palace to celebrate Christmas in, JoJo Maman Bébé offers a great selection of presents to put under the tree - and takes away the hassle of wrapping making shopping easier and smoother than ever before. Who needs Father Christmas?
