HARRY and Meghan have become the proud parents of a baby boy, with friends and well-wishers sending them gifts and cards from all over the world.
But what do you buy a new baby when you don’t have a royal-sized wallet? Here’s my dummies’ guide . . .
- COMB AND GET IT: Silversmith Mappin & Webb has held a royal warrant since 1897 — and the brand’s sterling silver brush and comb set, at £425, is a breathtaking gift.
But to save a fortune, swap for the Bambino baby silver-plated brush and comb set from My1styears.com for £26. You can personalise it for free, too.
SAVING: £399
- ONE FOR THE BOOKS: Aspinal of London Deluxe Baby Record Book, £105, is a beautiful way to document precious memories and milestones featuring the new addition.
But you can avoid the hefty price tag by opting for the Peter Rabbit baby record book, £19.99 from Mothercare, instead.
SAVING: £85.01 - BABY SMELL: Baby perfumes are actually a thing. The new royal arrival may find himself spritzed with Creed Pour Enfants fragrance, £120, as the first Creed fragrance was commissioned by King George III in 1781 and the brand is still a royal favourite.
But save by gifting the equally scent-sational alcohol-free and hypoallergenic Mustela Musti Eau de Soin, £11.96 for 50ml at Landys Chemist.
SAVING: £108.04
- BEAR-LY ANY DIFFERENCE: A silver Asprey teddy bear money bank for £2,575, may be a fit way for a royal tot to stash their pocket money — but its price is enough to drain most of our own piggy banks.
So opt instead for the John Lewis version at £25.
That’s a sterling swap if we ever saw one.
SAVING: £2,550
