4 Reasons Why People Are Ditching Expensive Baby Gifts For This One Book Instead

By Ameena K. Last Update August 17th, 2025

1.  The Most Expensive Gifts Are Usually Forgotten About First

It doesn’t make sense.
You spent hundreds. You created a hamper.
It has baby oil, a luxury robe.

 

But a week later?

 

Parents barely remember who gave it.
It’s buried in a drawer. Or worse — re-gifted.

 

Meanwhile, this little book

Printed with the child’s name and values from the Qur’an.
 

Is getting read every single night.

It’s become the bedtime routine.
 

It’s the first thing they show guests.

 

It’s the simplest gift that ends up being remembered for years, not the “most expensive” one.

 

One aunt said:

“I’ve bought pricey baby gifts for years. But this? This was the first one that made the parents cry.”

2. It Turns the Babys Name Into a Islamic Teaching

You’re not just giving a baby gift.
You’re teaching.

 

Each letter of their name = One Islamic virtue.

Sabr. Grateful. Amanah.

They’re learning how to be kind.

How to be grateful. 

How to be nice to others.

 

Your gift is impactful.

That’s the kind of gift that earns barakah.
Every single time it’s opened.

And years later?
 

They won’t remember who gave the softest blanket.


But they will remember the book that taught their baby how to be a better person.

3. It’s the Only Gift That Feels Like a Bedtime Duʿā

One mum said:

“I read it aloud to my son and he couldn’t stop saying ‘Ameen’ after every page.”

 

Because when the story is filled with honesty, sabr, kindness.

 

You’re not just reading a story.
 

You’re saying a duʿā over that babys life.

 

Most gifts say: Here’s something cute.
 

This book says: Here’s who I pray you become.

 

That’s why it’s perfect for celebrating newborns. Aqeeqahs.

Or even for just to show your love.
