Baby Books, Crinkle Books & Sensory Toys

Share their first discoveries with our baby books and sensory toys, from soft fabric books with crinkly pages to colourful first books and character designs. Whether you’re choosing for your own little one or finding a thoughtful gift, explore books and toys to enjoy together.

Discover animal themes, familiar characters and tactile details that invite looking, touching and listening. Our collection includes options for different ages and stages, with individual product guidance to help you choose.

Soft Baby Books and Crinkle Books

Our soft baby books offer fabric pages and playful details for little ones to explore during supervised play. Selected designs include textured sections and crinkle sounds, giving you plenty to point out and talk about together.

Choose a favourite animal or a character the family will love. Check each listing for features, materials, cleaning instructions and recommended age, especially when buying for a newborn.

First Books for Shared Storytime

A baby’s first book is a lovely starting point for time spent together. Look at the pictures, name the animals and talk about what’s on each page, letting your little one explore at their own pace.

Our first books and character books make thoughtful individual presents or additions to a growing collection. Choose according to the child’s age and the format the parents would enjoy sharing.

Sensory Toys and Coordinating Characters

Explore baby sensory toys with different shapes, textures and sounds, alongside books that bring several details together in one design.

For a coordinated gift, pair an animal book with a matching soft toy, baby comforter or rattle. Check the age suitability of each item when putting your selection together.

Baby Books for Newborn Gifts and Baby Showers

A book makes a thoughtful present that parents and children can enjoy together. Animal stories and colourful character designs offer plenty of options when the baby’s gender is a surprise or you’d like a gift beyond clothing.

Give a book on its own, pair it with a baby blanket, or create your own baby hamper. Choose your packaging and add books, toys, essentials or a treat for the parents, finishing with a personal message.

Carefully Chosen by Ema and Boo

As an independent, mum-run UK baby gift shop, we select books and toys with attention to their design, details and gift appeal. From a small crinkle book to a character-themed present, find something to make those shared moments special.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of baby books are in this collection?

Our collection includes soft fabric books, crinkle books, sensory books and first books, alongside selected sensory toys. Features vary between products, so check each listing for its format, materials and recommended age.

Are soft baby books suitable from birth?

Some soft books are labelled as suitable from birth, while others have a later recommended age. Check the individual product description and follow the supplied instructions rather than assuming every fabric book is intended for newborn use.

What is a crinkle baby book?

A crinkle book has sections that make a rustling sound when handled. It combines pictures with sound and, in some designs, different textures or attached features. Check the product page to see which details your chosen book includes.

Can I add a baby book to a gift hamper?

Yes. Selected books and sensory toys can be included through our build-your-own hamper option. Pair your choice with clothing, a blanket or a coordinating toy, checking that each item is appropriate for the recipient’s age.
