Our Story Begins Here
About Us
Cove Bay Babies began on Scotland’s northeast coast with a simple idea: to create thoughtful, beautifully presented gifts that celebrate the joy of new beginnings. What started as a small Etsy shop has grown into a dedicated space for handmade nappy cakes, personalised baby announcement prints, and keepsake gifts for new parents. We are a family-run business based in Aberdeen; while Jacqui uses her creative eye to handcraft every gift, I, Roy, handle the logistics, sourcing, and customer care to ensure everything reaches you perfectly. We are proud to bring our craft from our home to yours.
A Shared Creative Passion
Beyond our baby gifts, our passion for thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless design extends into home decor. Roy also curates Cove Bay Vintage (https://www.covebayvintage.com), an independent collection of studio pottery, mid-century glass, and retro art prints. Both of our family businesses share the exact same core values: personal service, careful packaging, and a commitment to sustainable sourcing right here in Aberdeen.
Our Vision
To bring warmth, joy and meaning to life’s sweetest moments.
We believe baby gifts should feel personal, thoughtful and beautifully made — not mass‑produced or generic. Our collections are designed to be modern, gentle and gift‑ready, with clear pricing, simple navigation and a calm shopping experience that makes choosing the perfect gift effortless.
From handcrafted nappy cakes to personalised prints, we want Cove Bay Babies to be a trusted place for families, friends and loved ones to find something truly special.
Sustainability at Cove Bay Babies
We believe thoughtful gifting should also be thoughtful to the planet.
While we use new, double‑walled cardboard boxes to ensure your gifts arrive safely, we pair them with recycled and repurposed packing materials wherever possible. Local businesses kindly set aside clean packaging for us, helping reduce waste while supporting our community.
It’s a small gesture with a meaningful impact — protecting your gifts, reducing environmental waste, and keeping sustainability at the heart of what we do.
