Useful and original gifts for newborns

The appearance of a child is an important event in any family. Of course, relatives and friends want to heartily congratulate their parents and give them a good gift. However, choosing an original and at the same time useful present in this case is not so simple. Many factors should be taken into account, an idea of ​​successful options and bad ideas. The nuances of choosing a gift for a newborn will be discussed in this article.

When thinking about what to give to a newborn, you should remember your experience or imagine yourself as a happy parent. Do not be shy to ask the baby's mom a direct question about her needs. Grandparents in this case are easier, because they regularly communicate with the parents of their grandson, and sometimes they live together. Choosing a gift for a niece or nephew is a little more difficult, to say nothing of friends and acquaintances.

If the parents of a newly born baby give you freedom of action when choosing a presentation, you should first consult with other invitees to the holiday (statement, christening, or other significant day). This way you can avoid repetitive ideas and embarrassing situations. If you want to present something large and expensive to your happy parents (for example, a stroller or a washing machine), you can combine finances.

When choosing gifts for twins, you should not buy identical paired things. Let them differ in patterns or colors. Remember that even outwardly similar children are different personalities. Each of them is special for the parent, so it is unlikely that the mother wants to dress her kids in exactly the same overalls.

There are presentations suitable for a child of any gender. Consider the most popular options.

• Toys They surround the baby from birth. For the smallest relevant options will be rattles, funny rubber animals for swimming. A great option is a mobile for a crib. Multi-colored elements move in a round dance, entertaining the baby, and a pleasant melody lulls. Chewable silicone beads will be useful for a small child. Developing complexes and rugs are always welcome for parents.

• Diapers. Caring for a baby requires their presence. Although some find this gift too banal, it can be quite useful. The main thing is to check with mom what products she uses (company, size). As for the cakes and other figures from the diapers, many consider this idea to be original. However, it is worthwhile to understand that the products used to create the “masterpiece” will no longer be used as intended. Therefore, such a surprise cannot be called practical.

• Stroller This gift can be attributed to the best options. It is only advisable to find out from parents what their ideas about the ideal stroller are. The desired characteristics and shape of the model, color preferences are important.

• Bed dress. A set of underwear for the baby, a summer or winter blanket, a soft plaid are wonderful gift options. You can also help parents equip the crib with soft protective sides.

• Crib. This item may be a welcome gift for a family that has not yet had time to acquire it. You can choose a transforming model. She will "grow" with the child, saving parents from the need to frequently update the environment of the children's room

• Washer. If the family does not have this valuable aggregate, it is necessary to correct the situation. You can update the technique if it has long been impossible to call a new one. Even a small model with a delicate wash mode can be very useful.

• Baby changing table. Another necessary piece of furniture for a young mother. It will make the baby’s dressing process more convenient.

• Humidifier. The organization of the optimal indoor climate is very important for the health of the child. This device will allow you to get rid of excessive dry air, reduce the amount of dust particles in it.

• Electronic rocking chair. This interesting device will help parents calm the baby and get distracted by household chores. Modern models are equipped with vibration massage, music, have several modes of operation. Manufacturers present options in the form of chairs, deck chairs, swings.

• Baby Monitor With this device, mom will always know in what mood her baby is. She can calmly move around the apartment, watching the child from a distance.

• Baby clothes. Beautiful and comfortable children's things will delight any parents. The main thing is to choose high-quality clothing made from natural materials. Simple models that are easy to put on and take off are preferred. The presence of decorative small details (rhinestones, beads, pompons, etc.) is undesirable. The kid can accidentally tear and swallow them. Buy items that can be used in the near future, rather than clothing "for growth."

• Gifts that create memory. Most parents from the first days of their baby's life record all the important points. A modern camera will help to make memorable pictures. Cute photo frames and colorful children's albums are a great way to arrange them.

• Certificate. A document that allows you to purchase any baby products for the specified amount is an excellent present that will delight any mother. If you don’t know what to give, stop at this option.

Parents of a newborn girl can give any of these gifts. The only nuance will be the choice of design of things. Traditionally, girls choose delicate shades (pink, purple, yellow) and the corresponding prints (bunnies, bears, flowers, hearts, etc.)

A suitable gift would be an air canopy for the crib. Also, girls are often presented with children's cosmetics (shampoos, powders, etc.). It is important to choose high-quality hypoallergenic products without flavors and other harmful additives.

Gifts for boys tend to have a more discreet design. The color scheme usually includes blue, blue, green, red. Albums are decorated with drawings of airplanes, cars, rockets, although variants with animals are not ruled out. Wardrobe items at this stage also differ mainly in prints and shades.

Talented needlewomen can make a gift with their own hands. You can sew a set of clothes or linen for a child. A great idea would be to make a soft developmental complex in the form of a rug with various additions.

Handmade albums made using the scrapbooking technique are much more spectacular than items bought in the store. The same goes for the treasure boxes of a small family member. You can sign the product with the baby’s name or make a touching inscription (for example, “Our little prince”). It all depends on your imagination.

Beautiful presentation design can distinguish it from the mass of others and show your careful attitude to the baby's parents. For example, it could be a large gift basket wrapped in cellophane and decorated with a luxurious bow. If you give one small thing, you can wrap it in bright paper and complete it with a greeting card.

If you want to show your imagination and make the packaging unusual, you can use one of the ideas below:

• heart-shaped box (for a girl);
• a set of towels or bedding in the form of a steam locomotive (for a boy);
• packing in the form of a small beautiful carriage;
• DIY handmade box using scrapbooking technique (with lace, beads, cute drawings);
• a set of bathing accessories, packed in a baby bath;
• a set of towels in the form of a bouquet;
• imitation of a postal parcel with stamps.

Going to congratulate young parents on the birth of a baby, it is important not only to have an idea of ​​the most useful and desired gifts, but also what to give in no case worth it.

• Natural flowers. Almost all women like beautiful bouquets, but do not forget that plants are the strongest allergens. The body of the young mother is still weakened, and the presence of a small child in the house obliges to create the cleanest air without unnecessary aromas. Instead of a bouquet, buy balloons. They will create a festive atmosphere and will not harm anyone.
• Numerous nipples and bottles may be redundant or even unnecessary. Do not rush to buy everything that stands on the shelves of a children's goods store. Even in the absence of the opportunity to buy something expensive, you can find a really useful gift.
• Toys for middle-aged children. Soft bears, cars, planes, dolls will come in handy for the baby soon. In the meantime, they will simply take their place in the nursery and attract dust to themselves. Give better what you need to a young family now (rubber toys, "development", etc.)
• Medication. Even expensive and high-quality pharmaceutical preparations purchased in case of a baby's illness are not the best way to please mom. Believe me, if necessary, parents themselves will get what the doctor will advise. It is better to wish your child health and give something positive.
• Baby food. All children have their own individual characteristics. Therefore, the food you bought may not be suitable for a particular baby. Parents decide such questions themselves together with the doctor.
• Books on parenting. Of course, such literature often contains very useful information. However, you cannot know how the mother of a newborn will perceive such a gift. Perhaps she will think that you do not believe in her ability to raise a child well without outside help. Therefore, it is better to abandon such an idea.
