Ready to get started? We've prepared a ready-to-use baby fund for you here.
No need to set a 'mandatory' amount: the idea is for everyone to contribute what they can.
Small contribution: €5–10
Standard group gift: €10–30
More significant contribution: €30–50 and up (depending on closeness)
Expert tip: Suggesting a range helps avoid hesitation and makes the money pot more inclusive.
Once the collection is complete, here are some baby gift ideas that are always a big hit with new parents:
Equipment: stroller, car seat, baby carrier, travel cot
Comfort: baby monitor, play mat, night light, blanket
First months: reusable diapers, care products, clothes
Experience: photo shoot, postnatal massage, home help
If you're unsure about the gift choice or if you've collected more money than expected, you can also purchase, free of charge, an Amazon.fr gift card within the app when withdrawing the pooled funds.
When a loved one is about to become a parent, friends and family often want to come together to offer the best group gift. Simple, fast, and highly secure, Lydia’s birth money pot is the ideal tool for friends and family. Your loved ones can contribute instantly by credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer, without needing to create an account. Moreover, no commission fees or mandatory donations will be requested from them.
To maximise the budget for the birth list, stroller, or baby room decoration, contributions made via the Lydia app are free of any service charges. It is also 100% free if you convert the amount into an Amazon.fr gift card for the parents. For other withdrawal methods, a transparent 4% commission applies.
No need to wait to prepare your surprises! You can withdraw the money multiple times as your purchases progress. The collected funds are instantly available to pay for your expenses in-store or online, allowing you to spoil the new family with peace of mind.
