Naamkaran / Mundan Gift Ideas — What to Give at an Indian Baby’s Naming Ceremony
Posted by TEAM ALMIRAH
A naamkaran is the moment a baby officially gets their name. It is quiet and significant and full of family — and it calls for a gift that feels as considered as the occasion.
Not another plastic toy. Not a generic envelope. Something handcrafted. Something that says:
we thought about this, specifically for this child, on this day.
Here is what we’d give.
A personalised gift
The most obvious and always the most right choice: something with the baby’s name on it. Our personalised pyjama sets have the child’s name or initials embroidered by hand on the pocket — not printed, not ironed on. Actual embroidery that will outlast the size. Since the name is announced at the naamkaran itself, order this after the ceremony once you know the name. Allow 2–3 extra working days for personalisation.

The Haathi March newborn essentials gift pack
If you want to give something the parents will use from the very first night: our Haathi March gift pack - swaddle, bib, burp cloth, face wipes. Everything a new parent reaches for, in our most beloved print. Arrives packaged and ready to give.
A complete nursery bedding set
Our Haathi March baby bedding set — quilt, bolster, pillow and sham — furnishes an entire nursery in one beautifully coordinated set. It is the gift that makes the nursery look finished. Available in blue and pink.
The Haathi matching toy gift set - pyjamas and a teddy bear
Our most playful gift: the Haathi March pyjama set paired with Mr. Bhalu, a soft cotton teddy bear in the same print. Child and toy in matching outfits. The kind of detail children notice and love.
