5 Gifts for Baby and Family
We’ve put together some of the best baby gifts that new parents can enjoy for years!
Baby Onesies and Swaddle Blanket
Choose baby clothes that are easy to take off and put back on—especially important for diaper changes or explosive accidents. Look for one pieces with Velcro, a fabric tie string, or just a few snaps at the bottom. We also recommend tag-less clothes, in case baby is more sensitive. A swaddle blanket will help mom securely and safely snuggle her newborn to sleep.
Personalized Baby Books
Welcome a new baby into the world with personalized baby books! New parents will love receiving special gifts that are uniquely made for their child. A custom book like My Very Own Name is a beautiful book for the nursery, to read before naps and at bedtime. Infants are soothed by the sound of their parent’s voices as they fall asleep. In this book, animals spell the child’s name letter by letter in rhyme. It’s a sweet keepsake that the child can grow up with. Also perfect for a baby shower, My Very Own Nursery Rhymes is the newest book in this My Very Own series that features the child’s name in the story and illustrations! Read about Humpty Dumpty, Mother Goose, and more fun tales. As you unwind at bedtime, try adding Goodnight Little Me to your reading routine. In this lyrical lullaby, a goodnight parade marches through your child’s sweet dreams. Personalized kids’ book are the best baby shower gifts that parents-to-be will cherish.
Baby Care Kit
Surprise mom with baby care essentials that she will use again and again! Our favorites include: soft blankets for baby to cuddle with during naps or in the stroller, a baby nail trimmer file with light, fleece booties to keep little feet warm, a newborn lounger pillow, and a baby bib with food catcher to catch spills and messes.
Nursery Gifts
Give mom and baby beautiful gifts to use and decorate in the nursery! Personalized gifts are especially meaningful because they are created special for each child. Customize gifts with the child’s name like a personalized blanket, personalized name blocks, and a personalized growth chart.
Baby-on-the-Go Gifts
For mom and baby who want to travel, we love these on-the-go gifts that include: a portable changing pad, a sound machine (perfect for at home and hotel stays), and silicone baby-friendly toys for baby to chew on as they are teething.
5 Gifts for Mom
Pamper the new mom with gifts that are made just for her!
Spa Care Package
Give her a small gifts that will pamper her body and mind. Fill a gift basket with body lotion, face masks, foot scrub, shampoo, conditioner and candles.
Personalized Photo Puzzle
Surprise her with a uniquely personalized gift that she will treasure. Turn any photo into a 500-piece puzzle that she can put together while the baby is napping. To celebrate this new bundle of joy, you could choose a pregnancy picture, a picture of mom with baby, or a sweet picture of the baby.
New Mommy Recovery Essentials
Give her a postpartum care kit that will help her heal now that the baby is born. Mom will love having a whole basket of recovery items for convenient use. Add items like belly oil, nipple cream, soft nursing pajamas, Epsom salts for the bath, and a jar of healthy snacks to have on hand for nutrition and energy.
Meal Subscription Service
There isn’t much time for cooking when parents are caring for their little one. Give her the gift of easy meals with a meal subscription service. You can pay in advance and have the boxes shipped to her house. Meal services come with detailed instructions for cooking—and you can select easier or more complex meals based on her cooking ability. As part of the gift, offer your services one night to cook. Sometimes acts of service are the best gifts, giving the new parents more time to bond with their baby.
Stylish Baby Bag with Journal
These fun and practical gifts will help momma get around town, jotting down ideas or feelings in her journal along the way. Journaling is a great way for parents to release frustrations, celebrate the beautiful daily moments of parenthood, and make lists of fun family plans with their new baby. For the journal, we think it’s even sweeter if you write out inspiring little notes for mom and hide them among the pages.
