10 Amazing Newborn Gift Ideas

Baby showers are perfect occasions to help out parents-to-be. A newborn needs many things so you should help parents by bringing a gift that they can surely use. If you are searching for something useful and practical, here are a couple of things that might help you in your choice.

Baby book

Every mom will appreciate a gift such as a book for keeping records of important moments of her baby’s life. Mini journal to capture first measurements, photos and notes. Be creative when picking the design, colors, prints and fonts. If available, try to find a place where you can buy a customized book, by adding the baby’s name or details that will personalize the gift further.

Bouncer

Holding a baby is one of the most beautiful feelings, but sometimes it can be tiring for parents.  Choosing a cute and playful bouncer will keep the baby calm and entertained without constantly holding them in hand. Pick one with a colorful pattern and interesting rattles, to attract the baby’s attention. Make sure to take one which is automated and swings on its own. Every parent would be happy to receive a gift like this!

Baby play mat

A mat to lay down the baby and let it play on its own. Dangling toys, mirrors and gadgets will keep the baby amused for hours. Soft and easy to fold with bright colors and cute patterns, this is a heaven not just for babies, but for parents too, because they can relax while the baby is 100% safe and entertained.

Nursing Pillow

Breastfeeding can be very hard on a mother. Holding a baby in a certain position for a long time can be tiring both for the mommy and for the baby. A gift in the form of a C-shaped nursing pillow designed to support the baby can make breastfeeding much easier. This kind of pillow is not intended just for breastfeeding but can be used later on to prop up a baby for spoon feeding, resting and sitting. Multifunctional gifts that every mom would appreciate.

Baby carrier

Carrying a baby can be exhausting and sometimes, you need your hands free and your baby with you at the same time. That’s when a well designed baby carrier comes in handy. Whether in the front or in the back, your baby will be near you, safe and feeling comfortable.

Diaper bag

Another gift that will help new moms on the go. Carrying diapers and baby necessities with you can be fun and stylish if you have a bag to match the outfit. Choose a modern and fashionable bag, big enough for all the diapers and clothes to fit in.  Fun or classy, it all depends on a moms taste. Just make sure it is durable and made of strong materials, so it can be used for a long time.

Baby Wipe Warmers

Diaper changing can be easier with a fun gadget like wipe warmers. A well designed wipe container that will keep them fresh and warm, soothing your baby’s skin in the best way. Not a necessity, but surely a practical and useful thing that will make your baby smile.

Cute baby shoes

There is nothing cuter than tiny baby shoes which will bring a smile on everyone’s face. You can choose between boots, sneakers or even knitted ones that you can make by yourself if you are creative. Jazz it up with fun laces, colorful beads or by adding some bling.

Customized baby clothes

Customizing baby clothes is an endless playground for the family and friends. A perfect gift that will show off your creativity and love. Play with fun fonts, designs and colors to create the best message on that little piece of fabric. Design your own onesies, vests, T-shirts and bibs to bring a unique present.

Accessories and gifts

Wouldn’t it be nice to drink a coffee from a cup that has a baby’s picture or name on it? There are places where you can order customized bags, mugs, phone cases and coasters of all kinds. All you need is a unique and creative idea that will leave the parents speechless. There are so many options to choose from, but make sure that you include something personal in it.
