What to give for the birth of a boy?

Usually, not only future parents, but also their relatives are preparing for the birth of a child. Therefore, you should think about choosing a gift in honor of this event in advance. Moreover, the date of birth and discharge is almost always a surprise. Making spontaneous, rash purchases, there is a risk of acquiring a gift that is not at all useful or would be inappropriate.

To make out in this difficult matter, it is necessary to take into account several nuances.

• Before you start looking for a gift, you should ask the opinion of future parents or their loved ones (usually grandmothers are aware of all the nuances).
• Despite the known gender of the child, you should not buy everything in blue or blue. The color of clothes and accessories for the boy can be neutral - white or beige.
• All congratulations should not be directed only to the baby. Be sure to prepare a gift for mom and even father. For newly minted grandparents, you can also pick up nice words.
• Gift "for growth" is not always appropriate. First of all, it will have to be stored somewhere until a certain age is reached. And there is no guarantee that the mod will be needed or not.
• Most blunders fall on clothing. It is difficult to guess the size, and if things are more than necessary, you can not get into the season when the child grows to them. In addition, parents cannot always choose things to their liking.
• Before buying unfamiliar items or brands, you can turn to the Internet for help. There you can find reviews on almost everything, having studied the opinions of those who have already used this in practice.
• Be wary of choosing flowers, fruits, and sweets, as they may not be suitable for a nursing mother and cause allergies in the baby. Alcohol will be inappropriate.
• It makes no sense to arrange a noisy celebration, since the boy is still too small, and his mother needs a rest.

In addition to choosing and purchasing a gift, you need to know when to give it. This is a rather sensitive issue. The closest people want to congratulate mom and baby as soon as possible. Since not everyone is allowed into the maternity hospital, the bulk of gifts are presented on the day of discharge.

To make this appropriate, it is worth waiting for an invitation from parents at a convenient time for them. It is necessary to behave tactfully - communication with a newborn is possible only with the permission of his mother.

Most donors strive to pick up interesting gifts that will match the uniqueness of the event. For example, among jewelry you can find jewelry designed specifically for moms. It can be earrings, a ring or a pendant.

On the reverse side, you can engrave with nice words or capture the weight and height of the newborn. If among the finished products there is nothing suitable, there are masters who can realize any fantasy. As a symbol that the boy was born, it is better to use blue stones in jewelry.

You can also make an impression in another way - choose an inexpensive, but creative gift. To save important moments of the growth and development of the child, you can opt for a good photo album. Standard options are designed for the first year of life. In addition to posting photos, you can make notes about the first successes and achievements in it.

To show care for mom, she should give certificate for visiting a beauty salon. After all, despite all the things, she should not forget about herself. And the services of a massage therapist will help you recover faster and get in shape. It is important to agree on who will stay with the child during her absence, or to use the services of a nanny.

Money can also be presented in an original way. To do this, select the appropriate postcard envelope or put the bills in a small paper stroller. A certificate or money is better to hide in a bouquet of flowers or children's accessories.

The most practical gifts are those that can ease the work of parents as much as possible, making care for the baby easy and comfortable. This is what is first in the first months after birth.

The most necessary items are a crib and a stroller. Usually they are purchased in advance by the parents themselves. If they are short of money, help in such large purchases can be divided between relatives. For example, between grandparents.

In addition to the technical characteristics and additional functions (in the form of melodies and arcs with toys), be sure to pay attention to the maximum possible weight of the child - the more he is, the longer you can use. The purchase of a car seat or car seat is usually done by a father, uncle or other close relative. Only in a special chair and you need to bring your son or nephew home.

Another group of necessary things includes technical devices - sterilizers, food heater, blender, baby monitor, humidifier. Their use is optional, since you can use the means at hand. But modern devices greatly simplify life, save time and effort.Therefore, their acquisition is justified.

You can buy it ready-made or assemble it yourself. You can include anything you like here - baby creams, oils, powders, foams and bathing gels. You can complement the set with bath toys. To make the child develop faster, almost from birth, you can use circle for swimming. The right to purchase goods for feeding is best left to a sister or grandmother, since this process is quite personal.

If clothes are chosen as a gift, you should not buy too many things of the same size, as kids grow up very quickly. Ideally, you can take a pair of hats, sliders, body and socks, and then pack everything beautifully.

But the fabric should be natural and soft to the touch, and the cut of things - as convenient as possible. At the same time, you can not rush to dress the baby in tiny adult clothes, but give preference to funny jumpsuits or slips in which the little one will look even more touching.

An alternative to clothes can be a beautiful bedding set, bath towel or plaid. To make it comfortable for the baby to lie on the sofa, and then on the floor - you need a rug. It should be not only soft and pleasant to the touch, but also beautiful. The toys placed on it will encourage to stretch the handles, turn over and move.

Books and magazines on child care and development will be an indispensable gift, which will help to avoid many problems and misunderstandings. And books with children's tales and poems that parents will read will be useful. Or CDs with lullabies, songs and recordings of fairy tales. They will act soothingly and develop hearing.

It can be difficult to make a choice, or there is no way to coordinate a gift. In this case, the most useful will be certificate for a certain amount in a children's store. Parents themselves will choose what they need. Moreover, it can be used for several months.

It’s not necessary to buy a gift, and it’s not even about saving money. After all, everything that is done with one's own hand is unique and filled with warmth. That is why such things are so much appreciated. If the donor has hidden talents or abilities - they can be safely displayed.

Consider what you can do with your own hands for a newborn boy.

• Plaid (blanket, envelope). To make the baby look especially solemn on discharge, he needs an appropriate outfit. For the summer, a knitted or crocheted plaid is suitable. In colder times, you need an envelope with insulation for the weather. For decoration, you can use a bow on an elastic band.

• Children's dowry. You can sew any item of clothing yourself - from diapers to hats. A plus of such a gift is the complete absence of doubts about the quality and convenience. In addition, no one has canceled the traditional knitted booties, socks and costumes.

• Beads. Currently, it is fashionable to make them in the form of pillows, some of which can be stylized as animals. If the name for the boy is chosen in advance, it can be embodied in the form of soft volume letters.

• Metrics. This is a special memorable gift on which the most important figures will be captured - the weight and height of the child, as well as the time of his birth. The metric will serve as another decoration of the children's room. There are a lot of options for its implementation.

• Mom’s treasury. You can put things reminiscent of a baby into it - a lock, the first tooth, tags from the maternity hospital, baptismal clothes, the first hat or socks. As a rule, it is made in the form of a box with compartments. The size of the box can be different, as well as its design - decoupage, scrapbooking and the like.

If you don’t have any creative abilities, you should pay attention to other ideas. A husband, calling friends for help, can make a surprise - prepare an apartment. To begin with, it should be cleaned well, and then - do decoration. For example, order balls and figures from them. You can hang up posters with nice words and congratulations.

Friends can help in creating a memorable video with the main character - the baby. Or write down your wishes as a keepsake. In addition to words, congratulations can be supported by deeds - take the initiative and come to the aid of new parents when it will be needed.
