Simple and budget, but very necessary gifts
Do not rush to get upset and think that all gifts to the baby are expensive and perhaps you can not afford. In fact, the most necessary thing may not cost that much, but it will be greatly appreciated by the new mom and dad.
- A certificate for a certain amount in a store for children. This is not quite original, but the most profitable and easy option for a gift. When you do not know what to buy and you do not want to give money - give a gift card to your parents, and they will choose what they need.
- A certificate for a "new born" style photo shoot. Children grow up very fast, and mom and dad really want to remember every moment of the baby's life, especially his first days. Such memory will be preserved by the infant photo session. Only need to keep in mind that the "new born" style photos are taken until the baby is a month old.
- The photo album "I was born" or "I was born". This gift, too, can be classified as a memorable one. Such albums, as a rule, are additionally filled with important moments of the baby's life in the first year, for example, a strand of hair, a tag from the maternity hospital.
- Mobile with toys and songs on the crib. Such a merry-go-round not only can soothe and put the baby to sleep, but also gives parents minutes of free time. For such a gift you will be grateful to everyone.
- "Cake" of diapers, socks, hats, raspashonok. They are made in many children's stores to order. In the "cake" are the most necessary things for the first month of life. By the way, choose to fill diapers marked "for newborns".
- Pastel supplies or costumes. Such a gift will never be superfluous, babies very often and a lot get dirty. Sometimes you have to change clothes baby almost every hour, and the bedding should always be fresh.
- Baby bath towel with a hood. All new parents are afraid the first times to bathe their babies, and even more so to take them out of the tub afterwards. But how cozy it will be to wrap the baby in a big warm and soft towel, especially if it is named. You can embroider a name on your own, as well as to order.
- Electronic thermometer. This thing is necessary for parents, because it measures the body temperature not only quickly, but also safely, unlike a mercury thermometer. And with a small child, the task of keeping a mercury glass thermometer at hand becomes impossible.
- Rattles. First toys are necessary and important. You can buy rattles, rattles and teethers for future use. All of them should be bright colors, so that the child trains his vision, and, of course, from safe materials.
- Night Lamp. For some reason, parents often forget about this item, and encounter its necessity after birth, but there is absolutely no time to go look for and choose nightlights. This idea will come in handy as never before, because they will have to get up at night not once or twice.
Expensive variants of gifts
The more expensive gifts are usually chosen by close relatives of the family. Or sometimes the collective from one parent's job gives an expensive gift in a hoarding. And in order not to spend a large sum on an unnecessary thing, we leave you with a hint.
- A radio or video babysitter. Expensive, but very necessary thing if the house has a lot of rooms. Especially it will be appreciated by a young mother, when she will cook in the kitchen or take a shower, hearing that in the room the child is sleeping a sweet sleep.
- A set of crib and changing table. These are simply essential items. And, if parents for some reason have not yet purchased them, you have the opportunity to present the baby with his cozy sleeping nest.
- Cocoon, chaise for rocking. Once again, parents will say "Thank you!" The portable cocoon can be placed in the stroller for the first time, and gentle rocking on the chaise lounge will soothe and put your baby to sleep when mom's hands get tired.
- Car Seat. If the family has a car - it is essential, because every month the child will need to be taken to a healthy visit to the pediatrician.
- Table and high chair. Of course, this gift will be fully useful in about six months, but it is also suitable as a bed for the baby, if the chair will recline. It can replace the lounger.
- Stroller. One of the main attributes of happy motherhood is a quality stroller. And it is better to choose it together with the parents. It costs a lot of money, but if you select a good transport, every time you go for a walk, mom will remember you with a kind word.
- Baby bottle sterilizer or bottle warmer, if the baby is on formula feeding. This will be a lifesaver for mom and dad, who will need to get up several times a night and make the baby something to eat by heating water in a kettle or microwave. The heater will make their life a lot easier, because it has a timer.
- Objects for bathing: tub, slide, high chair. The bathing procedure is especially exciting for young parents. And if you make it easier by having a quality tub or slide, the family will be very grateful.
As you can see, there are a lot of ideas to give a newborn baby. And here we have listed not all yet. Parents can give you precise instructions on the purchase, do not hesitate to ask them about it. By the way, almost all of these gifts can be ordered online, even from another city, and delivery will bring them to the apartment of the parents of the baby.
Unsuccessful gift ideas
Of course, in the first months of life, the baby needs a lot, but leave a certain part of the purchases to his parents. It is not necessary to give for the birth of a baby:
- Cosmetics and baby hygiene products. Baby's skin is very delicate and prone to react to any irritant. And watch how she takes in the world around her, will only parents. You can not guess what kind of care products will be suitable for your baby and will not cause allergies.
- Soft "dust collectors" toys. A baby's nose is very susceptible to dust, and stuffed toys accumulate it very well. And it is especially dangerous to put them in the crib for a newborn. So it's better to avoid these gifts, the more possible allergies to the material toys.
- Pacifiers, drinkers, bottles. With these items children have a special relationship - if you like it - will take it, if not - spit it out. You can't predict whether the pacifier you took is the right one or whether it will be comfortable for him to drink from this bottle. Leave this choice to the child's parents.
- Slings or "kangaroos." They must necessarily be measured on themselves parents personally, to choose for their convenience, durability. Buy at random such a thing - to waste money.
When buying gifts is also important to consider whether you choose a boy or a girl, because in today's stores a huge selection as well as unisex items that are suitable for a child of either sex. We advise you to buy things individually for the baby, because it is a great joy to give something that is designed just for him or her.
And don't forget to ask the parents if they have already purchased the item you want to buy and give as a gift. But most importantly - give a gift from the heart, and your gift will be remembered forever!
