These useful gift ideas are sure to provide plenty of help during the first few weeks and months of a baby’s life and put a smile on the face of new parents.
1. Diapers
Baby goes through a lot of diapers during his first year of life, which costs parents a considerable amount of money. Choose size 1 or size 2 diapers, since many people give newborn diapers as a welcoming gift but rarely the bigger sizes. Add a package or two of diaper wipes to go along with the diaper gift to complete the package.
2. Baby Basket
Pre-filled and DIY baby gift baskets contain a variety of items useful for babies and moms, including bottles, pacifiers, socks, washcloths, baby beauty products, blankets, etc. Create your own gift baskets and fill them with the items of your choice. Gift baskets are a nice gift for welcoming babies.
3. Diaper Bag
Diaper bags make it easy to travel out and about with babies. It holds diapers, wipes, bottles, formula, toys, teethers and other items that parents need when they head out of the house with a baby. Sort through the many diaper bags available to find one that offers the comfort, style, and convenience that new parents need.
4. Toy or Soft Book
Babies cannot play with a toy or enjoy a book right now but that will soon change and your gift will become something he enjoys. Even a baby cannot have too many books and toys in his collection. Some stuffed toys can be personalized with the baby’s name and date of birth for an extra-special touch to the gift.
5. Baby Book
Parents need a baby book to document all of the baby’s firsts and special moments. If the parents already have a baby book, consider a picture album or a nice picture frame as a gift item instead. Nothing is more important to new parents than preserving those special memories.
6. Baby Bassinet
A bit more expensive than some of the other gifts on our list, the bassinet is an often forgotten gift that should always fill the bursary. A bassinet offers a baby a soft, safe place to sleep that can easily move from room to room so parents can keep an eye on the baby.
7. Baby Blanket
Baby will find one blanket that he loves more than the rest, but still needs a ton of them until that point. Personalize a blanket for the new baby or simply choose a soft, gender-appropriate blanket.
8. Gift Card
New parents’ eyes light up when they receive a gift card. While it may seem impersonal, new parents appreciate its thoughtfulness, since it allows them to choose exactly what they want, in all the right designs and colors, when they need it. As a benefit to you, gift cards are sold at almost all baby stores in denominations of your choice.
9. Changing Table
A changing table provides space in the nursery for all of the diaper-change essentials, such as diapers, wipes, and rash cream. Changing tables feature a flatbed to lay the baby to change his diaper. He cannot roll off of the changing table.
10. A Gift for Mom
