Gift Giving For Baby
Your friend or relative is going to have a baby. Couldn't think
of what to give? Here are some tips to help you shop for a gift.
Since they are you friends or relatives, chances are you know
their lifestyle. Do they like to travel or like taking day trips
to the amusement parks or zoos? If yes, backpack diaper bag is a
good idea. A backpack diaper bag frees up both hands and it
looks good on both man and woman. Baby carrier is another good
choice for gift for active parents. Think about other travel
accessories like shopping cart strap, stroller cup holder and
other small but useful traveling gadgets. Portable booster is a
good idea too. It is always cleaner than the ones you find in
most restaurants.
Most new parents experience some sleep deprivation. A baby swing
can help lull babies to sleep more easily. New mom and dad can
then get some much needed sleep too. A baby play center can keep
baby entertained and occupied in a safe environment while mommy
can relax or get some house work done. Baby can be entertained
with a bouncer or a mobile. A music CD for babies will help keep
baby entertained too.
If expectant mom plans to breastfeed, try getting her a big soft
blanket that she can use to put over her shoulder while nursing.
Books and magazines will help keep mom entertained while
breastfeeding. A one-year subscription of parenting magazine is
a fine gift idea too.
Consider photo albums for gifts. New parents take lots of
pictures of their baby. If new mom is someone who loves to do
scrapbook, consider giving a scrapbook album. A good quality 4"
x 6" photo album makes good baby gift too.
Consider buying gifts for the baby's nursery. Mobile, lamp,
blanket or quilt are good gift ideas for the nursery. Some of
these items can be personalized with the baby's name. A toy
chest for extra storage space for the nursery should make a fine
gift.
You can never go wrong with books. Board books are more suitable
for babies. They don't rip easily. When buying books for first
time parents, you may want to consider classics like "Goodnight
Moon", "Pat the Bunny" and many other titles. Why classics?
Chances are these books are not in the new parents' collection
yet.
