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 the original and at the same time useful gift in this case is not so easy. It is necessary to take into account many factors, to have an idea about successful options and bad ideas. About the nuances of choosing a gift for a newborn and will be discussed in this article.

Thinking about what to give to a newborn, it is worth remembering your experience or presenting yourself as a happy parent. Do not hesitate to ask the mother of the baby a direct question about her needs. Grandparents in this case is easier, because they regularly communicate with their grandchildren's parents, and sometimes live together. Choosing a gift for a niece or nephew is a little more difficult, let alone talking about friends and acquaintances.

If the parents of the newly born crumbs give you freedom of action when choosing a present, should first consult with other guests to the feast (discharge, christening or other significant day). So it will be possible to avoid repetitive ideas and awkward situations. If you want to give happy parents something big and expensive (for example, a wheelchair or a washing machine), you can combine finances.

When choosing gifts for twins, you should not buy identical doubles. Let them differ in pictures or colors. Remember that even children who look alike are different personalities. Each of them is special for the parent, so the mother is unlikely to want to dress her babies in exactly the same overalls.

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

• Toys They surround the child since birth. For the smallest current options will be rattles, funny rubber animals for swimming. A great option - mobile for the bed. Multi-colored elements are moving in a round dance, amusing the kid, and a pleasant melody lulls. Chewable silicone beads will be useful for a small child. Developing complexes, mats are always welcome for parents.

• Diapers. Caring for the baby requires their presence. Although some consider such a gift too banal, it can be quite useful. The main thing is to check with the mother 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 should be understood that the products used in creating the “masterpiece” will no longer be used for their intended purpose. Therefore, such a surprise can not be called practical.

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

• Bedding. A linen set for the baby, a summer or winter blanket, a soft blanket are wonderful gift options. You can also help parents equip the crib with soft protective bumpers.

• Crib. This item may be a welcome gift for a family that has not yet had time to acquire it. You can choose a model-transformer. She will “grow” with the child, freeing parents from the need for frequent updates of the children's room.

• Washer. If the family does not have this valuable unit, it is necessary to correct the situation. You can upgrade your equipment if you cannot be called new for a long time. 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 it more convenient to dress your baby.

• Humidifier. The organization of the optimal indoor climate is very important for the health of the child. This device will allow to get rid of excessive dryness of 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 vibromassage, music, have several modes of operation. Manufacturers present options in the form of chairs, chaise lounges, swings.

• Baby monitor With this device, mother will always know in what mood her baby. She can safely move around the apartment, watching the child from a distance.

• Baby clothes. Beautiful and comfortable children's things will please any parents. The main thing is to choose high-quality clothes made from natural materials. Simple models that can be easily put on and taken off are preferred. The presence of decorative small parts (crystals, beads, pompons, etc.) is undesirable. The baby may accidentally tear them away and swallow them. Buy things that can be used in the near future, and not clothing "for growth".

• Gifts that create a memory. Most of the parents from the first days of the life of their baby fix 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 decorate them.

• Certificate. The document that allows you to purchase any children's products for the specified amount is a great gift that will please any mother. If you do not know what to give, stop on this option.

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

The airy canopy for the crib will be an appropriate gift. Also, girls are often given baby cosmetics (shampoos, powders, etc.). It is important to choose high-quality hypoallergenic products without fragrances and other harmful additives.

Gifts for boys, as a rule, have a more discreet design. The color scheme usually includes blue, blue, green, red. Albums are decorated with drawings of airplanes, cars, rockets, although variations with animals are not excluded. 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 clothes for the child. A great idea would be to make a soft developmental complex in the form of a rug with various additions.

Handmade albums made in the technique of scrapbooking are much more effective than products purchased in the store. The same goes for the boxes for the “treasures” of a small family member. You can sign the product with the name of the baby or make a touching inscription (for example, “Our Little Prince”). It all depends on your imagination.

Beautiful presentation design can distinguish it from the masses of others and show your attentive attitude to the parents of the baby. For example, it can be a large gift basket wrapped in cellophane and decorated with a luxurious bow. If you are giving one small thing, you can wrap it in bright paper and add a greeting card.

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

• heart-shaped box (for girls);
• a set of towels or bedding in the form of a steam locomotive (for a boy);
• packaging in the form of a small beautiful stroller;
• self-made box using the scrapbooking technique (with laces, beads, pretty pictures);
• a set of accessories for swimming, packaged in a baby bath;
• set of towels in the form of a bouquet;
• Imitation of a postal parcel with seals.

Going to congratulate young parents on the birth of a baby, It is important not only to have an idea about the most useful and desirable gifts, but also about what to give in any case is not worth it.

• Natural flowers. Beautiful flowers like almost all women, but do not forget that the plants are the strongest allergens. The body of a young mother is still weakened, and the presence in the house of a small child obliges to create the most pure air without unnecessary odors. Instead of a bouquet, buy balloons. They will create a festive atmosphere and will not harm anyone.
• Numerous nipples and bottles may be superfluous or even unnecessary. Do not rush to buy everything that is on the shelves of the store of children's goods. Even if you can not buy something expensive, you can find a really useful gift.
• Toys for children of middle age. Soft bears, cars, airplanes, dolls will come in handy for the baby soon. In the meantime, they will simply occupy a place in the nursery and attract dust to themselves. Present better what the young family needs now (rubber toys, "developing", etc.)
• Medication. Even expensive and high-quality pharmaceutical preparations purchased in case of a baby’s illness are not the best way to make mom happy. Believe me, if necessary, the parents themselves will get what the doctor advises. It is better to wish the 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 child. Parents decide such questions together with the doctor.
• Books relating to the issues of parenting. Of course, such literature often contains very useful information. However, you may not know how the mother of a newborn will accept such a gift. It may seem to her that you do not believe in her ability to raise a child well without help. Therefore, it is better to abandon this idea.
