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, the choice of a gift in honor of this event should be thought in advance. Especially since the date of birth and discharge is almost always a surprise. Making spontaneous, thoughtless purchases, there is a risk to buy 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 the future parents or their relatives (usually grandmothers are aware of all the nuances).
• Despite the child’s known gender, it’s not worth buying everything in blue or blue. The color of clothes and accessories for a boy can be neutral - white or beige.
• All congratulations should not be sent only to the baby. Be sure to prepare a gift for mom and even father. For newly-made grandparents, you can also find pleasant words.
• The gift "for growth" is not always appropriate. First of all, it will have to be stored somewhere until a certain age. And there is no guarantee that he will need or will not change fashion.
• Most misses accounted for clothing. It is difficult to guess the size, and if things are larger than necessary - you can not get into the season when the child grows up to them. In addition, it is not always possible to choose things to suit the parents.
• Before buying unfamiliar items or brands you can ask for help online. There you can find reviews on almost everything, having studied the opinions of those who have already used it in practice.
• Take care when choosing flowers, fruits and sweets, as they may not be suitable for a nursing mother and cause allergies to the baby. Alcohol will be inappropriate.
• It makes no sense to arrange a noisy celebration, because the boy is still too small, and his mother needs rest.

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

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

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

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

You can make an impression in another way - pick up an inexpensive but creative gift. To preserve the important points of growth and development of the child, you can stop the choice on a good photo album. Standard options are designed for the first year of life.In addition to posting photos, it is possible to take notes on the first successes and achievements

To show care about mom, she should give certificate of attendance at a beauty salon. Indeed, despite all the cases, she should not forget about herself. A massage therapist will help you quickly recover and get in shape. It is important to agree on who will stay with the child during her absence, or use the services of a babysitter.

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

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

The most necessary items are a cot and a stroller. Usually they are purchased in advance by the parents themselves. If they are constrained in means, the 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 bigger it is, the longer you can use. Buying a car seat or avtolyulki usually involved a father, uncle or other close relative. Only in a special chair and you need to take your son or nephew home.

Another group of necessary things are technical devices - sterilizers, food preheater, blender, baby monitor, air humidifier. Their use is optional, as you can use the available tools. But modern devices greatly simplify life, save time and effort. Therefore, their acquisition is fully justified.

You can buy it already in finished form or assemble it yourself. Anything can be included here - children's creams, oils, powders, foams and gels for bathing. You can add a set of toys for the bath. To make the child develop faster, almost from birth you can use lap for swimming. It is better to give the right to purchase goods for feeding to the sister or the grandmother as this process is quite personal.

If clothes are chosen as a gift, You should not buy too many things of the same size, as babies grow very fast. 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 comfortable as possible. At the same time, you can not rush to dress the baby in a tiny adult clothes, and give preference to funny overalls or sleepers, in which the tot will look even more touching.

An alternative to clothes can be a beautiful set of bed linen, bathing towel or blanket. So that the baby is comfortable lying on the sofa, and then on the floor, you will need a rug. It should be not only soft and pleasant to the touch, but also beautiful. The toys placed on it will induce to stretch the arms, roll over and move.

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

It can be difficult to make a choice, or there is no possibility to agree on a gift. In this case, the most useful will be certificate for a certain amount in the children's store. Parents will choose what they need. Especially since they can be used for several months.

It is not necessary to buy a gift, and it’s not even about saving money. After all, everything that is done personally 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 shown.

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

• Plaid (blanket, envelope). To make the baby look so solemn on discharge, he needs an appropriate outfit. For the summer period, a plaid knitted or crocheted will do. In a colder time, you need an envelope with insulation for the weather. For decoration, you can use a bow on a rubber band.

• Baby dowry. You can sew independently any item of clothing - from diapers to hats. The plus of such a gift is a complete lack of doubt about the quality and convenience. In addition, no one has canceled traditional knitted bootees, socks and suits.

• Bumpers. Nowadays, it is fashionable to make them in the form of pillows, some of which can be styled 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, which will capture the most important figures - the weight and height of the child, as well as the time of his birth. Metric will serve as another decoration of the children's room. There are quite a few options for its implementation.

• Mother's treasure trove. It can be folded things reminiscent of the baby - curl, first tooth, tags from the maternity hospital, baptismal clothes, 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 there are no creative abilities, you should pay attention to other ideas. A husband, calling for help from friends, can make a surprise - prepare an apartment. To begin with it should be well cleaned, and then - to do the decoration. For example, order balls and figures from them. You can hang posters with pleasant words and greetings.

Friends can also help create a memorable video with the participation of the main character - the baby. Or write down your wishes for memory. In addition to words, congratulations can be backed up with a deed - take the initiative and come to the aid of newly minted parents when it is needed.
