As a much-loved and cherished literary character, Peter Rabbit is a classic icon of childhood and traditional style. A carefully selected Peter Rabbit item makes a heartwarming baby gift. Whether for a themed nursery or to add a simple accent piece, a Peter Rabbit gift is sure to be appreciated. Both modern and vintage gifts are available in department stores, baby specialty stores and gift shops.

For preparing for baby and remembering the first year, give a Peter Rabbit memory book, calendar or scrapbook. Mom and dad can fill out special moments, holidays and activities on the provided pages, creating a keepsake that can be given to the baby when she grows up. A Peter Rabbit hardback book also makes an excellent gift. Individual books are available, as well as book sets and storybook collections.

The Peter Rabbit theme is also available in baby clothes and linens. New babies always seem to need a clean burp cloth or bib. Sleepers, outfits, coats, sweaters and hats decorated with Peter Rabbit pictures or story lines make useful and attractive gifts also. For the home nursery, a gift idea might include sheets, a crib skirt and crib bumper, or a new Peter Rabbit mobile. Remember soft towels and wash cloths for the bathroom to continue the theme.

A classic Peter Rabbit gift that can be used for years is a statue or figurine. Start a collection with a figurine of Peter; add other characters from the stories over time to decorate the nursery. Other Peter Rabbit collectibles include first china dishes and tea sets, money banks, bookends or a special music box. A Peter Rabbit picture frame can be used anywhere in the home.

Soft bean bag toys and cuddly stuffed Peter Rabbits are timeless baby gifts. Babies can play with them as they learn to grasp and explore, or the toys can decorate the baby's room. Other practical items include stacking blocks, rattles and a DVD of Peter Rabbit stories.
