Have a baby to shop for? These gift ideas have you covered.
If a friend or family member is about to become a parent, choosing the perfect gift for their newborn can be a seriously high-pressure situation. There are so many roads to go down – practical, cute, keepsakes, or even just cash.
We think the best baby gifts are fun, functional, or both. Commemorating the moment of birth, or perhaps giving the new parents something that will help them in their new life, is best.
Here are a few Gift Ideas for a Baby
Baby skincare
Baby skin is extremely sensitive and needs the right skincare, or it can get easily irritated. Pick up a hamper of organic, specially-formulated baby skincare products that are chemical and toxin-free, and both the baby and parents will thank you for it.
Trendy essentials
Newborn babies pretty much live in onesies and bibs, but who says onesies and bibs can’t be cute and stylish? When buying newborn bibs, make sure to get a moisture-wicking fabric that keeps drool away from the baby’s skin. Choose a fun design like a bandana or a pirate-themed one. For onesies, it’s all about the fabric and the fastening. Stick to cotton with snap closures. Looking for something with a sense of humor? You can buy funny baby onesies from Bitsy Bug Boutique.
Keepsake boxes
Keepsake boxes are small, sweet boxes that are used to hold valuable items from a baby’s first few years, such as locks of hair after their first haircut, their hospital bracelet, or anything else the parents want to keep safe forever.
Food processor
Think outside the box for your baby gift. A food processor might be more of a gift for the parents, but who cares when it helps the baby get fed nutritious, healthy meals with little fuss or mess? Once the baby is old enough for pureed food, this long-lasting gift will really show its worth.
Musical crib mobile
Babies love being lulled to sleep (and parents love it when they’re lulled to sleep!) so a mobile can be the perfect pick. Choose something with color or cute characters that a baby can enjoy looking at, and soft lullabies that will put them to sleep in no time.
Memory book
Memory books help new parents track their baby’s milestones, with fill-in-the-blank pages they can complete themselves. These adorable books have pages for everything, from first home and favorite food, to first steps, first haircut, and a family tree. This is the one you know they’ll cherish forever.
Wearable blanket
Putting a baby down for the night can be stressful. The baby needs to be safe and warm, with no loose ends. Take the stress out of it by gifting the parents a wearable blanket. These fantastic inventions keep the baby snug and safe without the need for additional blankets, while still offering plenty of space for them to stretch and move. They even have zippers, so you can do late-night diaper changes without having to take the baby out of the blanket.
