What Makes The Perfect Baby Gift?

baby gift

Baby showers, christenings, first birthdays and everything in between—there are so many types of gifts you get in all short of a year and figuring out which gifts are more appropriate, useful and are actually something the parents will want can be a minefield sometimes. As someone who has had to buy gifts for many friends and family members, I would like to pride myself on being somewhat of an expert on the art of buying new baby gifts and have composed together a list of things I have bought and have been told have had many great uses.

 

Baby Gift Bundles

When you are buying a gift, you tend to spend a little more on other people’s babies than you would for yourself and it’s a perfect gesture because not only does it save the parents money but it gives the baby something really special and useful. I have seen many baby gift bundles in my time but they are honestly the perfect gift and offer such a special opening experience. This is something I would recommend for a baby shower but also a type of push present.

So what might be included in a gift bundle could be a toy, rattle, outfit, or little shoes. Alternatively, it could be a gift bundle, especially for the new mom, so things such as nipple cream, bath sets, treats, self-care vouchers and so forth are the perfect opportunity to get them something for once.

 

For The Parents

Touching on the topic of getting a gift bundle for the parents, you could go above and beyond and get something that they both deserve, whether it’s a night away for the perfect date night, a gift card for their favourite restaurant, a couple’s massage or something that not only gets them out of the house but is something they need to help them regain their sanity and makes them feel like themselves again.

Once the baby arrives, everyone always thinks about what to get the baby and forgets about gifts for the parents. Being that person who gets something just for them is the perfect way to be the best gift giver during the baby shower, so if you have a good idea of what they might enjoy, I could recommend this type of gift more.

 

Linens

While this might sound extremely boring, as a person who is extremely passionate about their bedding and fabric quality, there is nothing I would adore more than a full linen bedding set. While that’s a very expensive gift, you could grab the baby some fresh linen, which is very inexpensive for obvious reasons but a perfectly reasonable price as a gift. It doesn’t always have to be bedding but a little linen outfit or two would be just as good.

The reason why linen is such a good baby gift is that, because this fabric is extremely natural, it’s perfect for babies’ sensitive skin; it’s soft, comfortable and only gets better with time, so I would recommend buying sheets or outfits that are a little bigger than what they need so they can be used and appreciated for much longer.
