When the first-born appears in the family, this is a great and very important event for everyone. Happy parents try to share their joy with close relatives, as well as colleagues. They quite logical question arises - what to give for the birth of a child?

Features of choice

Making a choice is not easy - it is necessary that the hotel is original and like new parents. In some families, there is a tradition when a girl, in anticipation of her first child, thinks about making gifts herself, and this is wonderful, because relatives do not have to "puzzle" over acquiring things for the baby.

Surprises should not be intended for children older than 6 months, otherwise your gift will be delayed for use "in the long box".

Let's decide on the choice of a gift for the baby from relatives and the team.

Bed dress

You will not regret if you choose blankets (for summer and winter), bedding, canopies and sides. Be sure to consider the fact that items related to the child’s sleep should be made of cotton and linen.

Crib

A gift such as a crib can be presented by colleagues. The child should sleep on the orthopedic mattress in a comfortable bed, and this is very important for the baby’s health, and it’s also a good financial support for the mother and father of the child. Take a closer look at the beds that “grow” with the baby, with structures that have lockers and canopy fittings.

Baby clothes

When choosing smart things for the baby, pay attention to the following:

  • do not buy clothes for the future, especially seasonal: so that the winter jacket does not fit the child only in the summer;
  • clothes for the baby should consist only of natural materials;
  • Choose cute simple models - so that you can easily put on and take off;
  • Avoid buying clothes with parts that could be accidentally swallowed (buttons, beads).

Washer

If the family did not get this device, or the washing machine is old and often spoils, such a joint gift from relatives or colleagues will be very useful. Many modern washing machines are equipped with special modes for delicately washing children's clothes - the equipment manual should contain this information.

Souvenirs

Often, young parents, with the birth of their first child, keep an album of the moments of their baby’s life and, after many years, all together review and re-read the wonderful moments. Children's albums, "Diaries for Mom", photo frames can be a wonderful souvenir that will last for many years.

It’s very interesting and touching to open with your child a children's album or “Mother’s Diary” and recall moments from the “golden childhood”.

Diaper cake

The diaper cake is original, cute, but do not forget that the diaper is a personal hygiene item, for example, like a toothbrush. Therefore, it will be wrong to use it if it lies without a protective box.

If you still decide to give such a souvenir, then let such a gift be purely symbolic, in addition to it, buy a whole package of diapers.

Mobile phones and carousels

Carousels are children's toys that hang over a baby’s bed: it can be a circle of moving animals or humans. The mobile phone runs on batteries, and the carousel is launched manually. The mobile carousel is often complemented by the function of playing music with moving toys, mini-projectors, demonstrating the intricate representation of the shadow theater on the wall or ceiling.

Baby cosmetics

For a child, you should choose only high-quality certified products, without “chemistry” and aromas. Baby shampoos, bath foams, powders, creams should be neutral and have a natural composition.

Chaise lounge for babies

Chaise lounge - a portable seat for the child on which seat belts are present. Some models are equipped with a carrying handle and a removable feeding table, which allows you to use it for traveling baby outdoors.

Developing mat

A rug, a warm blanket or a thin mattress made of thick fabric decorated with bright children's drawings will be interesting for the baby. The set includes mat with foam rubber coating - “bridges” that are installed on the mat in order to conveniently hang rattle toys.

Toys for baby

Young mothers themselves rarely buy toys for the unborn baby before birth, so they will come in handy. A big request for sisters, brothers and girlfriends who purchase games for a child is not to conduct experiments, but to provide this to a professional consultant in the children's goods department, he will tell you what children need in the first months of life.

Electronic swing

A young mother will surely experience delight from an electronic swing. They gently imitate the swaying in the arms of the mother, the child calms down and falls asleep. Of course, the children are all different and not everyone can behave the same way; some people like to wiggle, while others don't, but as practice shows, this thing is irreplaceable. The market provides different models, and prices vary. It is better to choose a swing with several modes of motion sickness and with a musical panel where you can hear the sounds of nature, classical music or the beating of mom’s heart.

Changing table

It may happen that young parents did not have time to buy a changing table before childbirth, try to help and buy it as a gift.It is better to purchase a special folding table, but some parents buy dressers for changing, which is less practical, because the baby behaves more actively after 5-6 months, and it will be problematic to swaddle it on the dresser. On the table it’s much more convenient to wear a child, of course the table should be laid out.

When the table "fulfills" its own, it can be hidden in a closet or given to relatives "by inheritance."

What to give if a boy is born?

If you had a boy, all your relatives and friends were waiting for all these 9 months. He was born, and everyone is barely expecting a meeting with the baby and young parents. So, what to hand to the boy who was just born so that the surprise is needed? A great gift for a child is clothes. When choosing it, it always takes a lot of time. Since boys grow very quickly, you should not choose suits “just right”, because the thing will quickly become small. Choose outfits you need a little more, taking into account the upcoming season.

It is preferable to give a jumpsuit made of wool. This off-season clothing is well in demand. As a gift, you can make original booties, a beautiful blue suit or sew a linen cap with your own hands. On a product for a boy, you can embroider a name or an invented emblem, and your creative gift can become your favorite clothes for the baby. You need to know that for work it is definitely worth taking natural material.

A fun surprise might be cake or bouquet of clothes. Clothes will still have to be washed before use, so one should not worry too much about hygiene. Beautiful roses from socks should cheer up young parents. The gift will definitely remain in the history of photographs and will be a fun memory in the future. Also, a large terry towel with a hood and a beautiful applique will be a good gift. A great gift, because the baby takes a bath every day.

Originally, if the birthday present is silver. It can be a beautiful silver spoon. After some time, it will be needed to feed the baby. There is no better material like silver for a baby spoon.

When choosing silver, it is not at all necessary to consult with the parents of the baby, since silver in the house is always welcome.

Baby Gifts

Since walking is one of the important parts in the life of a baby, walking is not always convenient with a stroller. Of course, if young parents do not have an elevator in the house, or if a young mother needs to go to the store, a gift may be an unusual idea "Scarf - for mothers" and "mother - beads." A “scarf for mothers” is a wide dense fabric that is attached to the waist of mommy, and “mother-beads” is a useful and necessary souvenir made of high-quality food-grade silicone or processed wood, fixed with nylon thread.

When wearing on mother’s neck instead of beads, “mother-beads” play the role of a toy and make it easy for the baby to teethe, they also develop fine motor skills and help a lot in studying colors and shapes. You can also give an individual holder for a dummy. It can be made of the same materials as "mother - beads."

And so that walks in the fresh air are more colorful and brighter, you can give a stretch to the stroller (if mom walks with the stroller for long distances), also made of materials safe for the baby, from certain types of wood: juniper, beech, hornbeam. These breeds are pleasant to the touch and smell.

Other options

You can list a lot of different gift options that are no less necessary and useful for the baby and new parents.

  • The humidifier not only maintains the necessary humidity in the room, but also cleans the air.
  • Large pillow for feeding in the form of an arc. It comes in different colors, it is very convenient to relax on it.
  • A thermometer in the form of a dummy that measures the temperature of the baby.
  • Photo frames that will decorate and delight you with happy moments.

Also, an inexpensive and original gift is personalized teething beads. They look like small silicone cubes (or beads) where each item is written with the letter of the name of the child. This irreplaceable item will help the baby’s teeth to appear more painlessly without any problems.

How to make a present with your own hands?

The best present as a present is, of course, do-it-yourself things. Warm knitted items made of pure wool, such as hats, socks, overalls, and rugs, are generally welcome. And if the baby was born in autumn or winter, it will be a very necessary and pleasant gift made with love and from the heart.

The list for the presentation to the baby is huge. Whatever you choose, it does not matter whether the gift is purchased in the store or made by one’s own hands, it must be filled with personality. You can pack it in bright, colorful paper, you can tie a beautiful blue or pink bow. Do not forget the important rule: you can’t save on things for the baby.

If you are going to visit where there is a baby, you need to make sure that the present is safe, bright, individual.
