baby gifts

Since they are your friends or relatives, you probably know about their lifestyle. Do they like to travel or do they like to take day trips to amusement parks or zoos? If yes, backpack diaper bag is a good idea. A backpack diaper bag frees up both hands and looks good on both men and women. The baby carrier is another good gift option for active parents. Think about other travel accessories like a shopping cart strap, stroller cup holder, and other small but useful travel gadgets. The portable amplifier is also a good idea. It’s always cleaner than what you find in most restaurants.

Most new parents experience some sleep deprivation. A baby swing can help lull babies to sleep easier. New mom and dad can get some much-needed sleep, too. A baby play center can keep baby entertained and busy in a safe environment while mom can relax or do some chores. The baby can be entertained with a hammock or a mobile. A baby music CD will also help keep baby entertained.

If the mom-to-be plans to breastfeed, try getting her a large, soft blanket that she can use to throw over her shoulder while nursing. Books and magazines will help keep mom entertained while she breastfeeds. A one-year subscription to Parenting magazine is also a good gift idea.

Consider photo albums for gifts. New parents take lots of photos of their baby. If the new mom is someone who loves to scrapbook, consider giving the gift of a scrapbook. A good quality 4″ x 6″ photo album also makes a good gift for the baby.

Consider buying gifts for the baby’s room. Mobile, lamp, blanket or quilt are good gift ideas in the children’s room. 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 nice gift.

You can never go wrong with books. Board books are more suitable for babies. They don’t break easily. When shopping for books for new parents, you may want to consider classics like “Goodnight Moon,” “Pat the Bunny,” and many other titles. Why classics? Most likely, these books are not yet in the collection of new parents.
