Childbirth is a magical time for the whole family, and it is not surprising that loving grandparents strive to choose the best gift for young parents and a newborn. But it often happens that the abundance of children's products and toys is so huge that it puzzles and makes you lose in options.
Best Gifts for Baby
We offer top best gifts for a newborn grandson.
Gift certificate, money
Quite a prosaic option, but you can be 100% sure that it will come in handy. The bills in the envelope have not disappointed anyone yet. It also happens that young people are too busy taking care of a newborn, and they have no time to think about their preferences and discuss them - in such circumstances this is the best option.
As an alternative to money - a gift certificate to the store children's goods.
When buying a certificate, consider the proximity of the store to the place of residence of a young family, because when a family has a baby, time is worth its weight in gold.
Photo session with a newborn
A prepaid professional photo session is exactly what will please your daughter or daughter-in-law and help capture magical moments in the life of the mother and child.
The ideal option would be to order an away photo shoot at home so that the process does not become stress for either the mother or the child.
A photographer specializing in such surveys can be easily found on the Internet, immediately familiarizing himself with his work and discussing all the details in advance.
Photo album for the newborn
When choosing an album, give preference to a copy in which there is a minimum of inscriptions and ready-made forms. Ideally, this is an album with empty pages, painted in children's themes, equipped with a special film, under which you can put photos as if sticking them to the page. The beauty of this album is that you are unlimited by any templates and you can save recordings and photos only about those events in the life of the child that are most important to you and in the sequence in which you are comfortable.
Photos, if desired, can be easily moved, the film does not stick them forever, only fixes in a predetermined position.
Baby monitor
This is a truly indispensable thing at some points. Imagine that parents with a child in the country, the baby fell asleep, but you don’t want to leave him alone in the house, but sitting next to him when you can do something else or go outside is not very convenient. In such a situation, the baby monitor is simply an indispensable assistant. Mom can quietly leave, and when he heard that the baby woke up, immediately return to him.
Scales for a newborn
At an early age, weight fluctuations are very important, so it is very convenient to always have children's scales on hand. The choice is huge - from simple mechanical models to ultra-modern electronic with many options. You should not chase the number of functions, it is enough to choose a model with a small error in measurements, preferably with bumpers.
Electrics for baby up to a year
Electrics will help mom quietly move around the house with the child, while doing their own business. Swings have functions such as motion sickness, playing melodies. Some models even have a gaming unit, which will not let the crumbs get bored.
Bedding set for the crib
Having presented a bed set, you can be sure that your gift is useful. It will be easy to choose a gift option for a boy or for a girl in a thematic coloring.
Undoubtedly, the kit should be only from natural fabrics, so that on the delicate skin of the newborn there is no irritation or allergy.
Newborn Clothing
Yes, most parents buy something from their clothes before birth. However, all babies are born with different height and weight, so it is quite difficult to buy suitable clothes in advance..
