Your good friend, relative or colleague just had a baby and you want to give him something special. You know they will receive a multitude of new baby gifts including baby toys, pajamas, diapers, rattles, blankets and other baby charms. And while you can’t resist that adorable, fluffy, fluffy teddy bear you found at the kids’ store, you’re thinking parents need a special gift too!
Well, go ahead and forgo baby clothes and diaper boxes. Grab that big fluffy bear and pair it with one of these memorable gifts for new parents:
Spa gift – Give new parents a much-needed gift of relaxation to enjoy on a day of their choice. A gift basket for a deluxe spa to indulge the senses at home or a certificate for a nearby spa will be a welcome gift when you need it most. While the new dad may enjoy the spa gift as much as mom does, you may want to add a six-pack of good beer and a Three Men and a Baby DVD to add that daddy charm.
Wine and Chocolates – Those first few weeks home from the hospital will be consumed by all the new baby care activities. Also there will be constant visitors to entertain. As welcoming as this whole new business will be, new parents will appreciate those few times when the house is quiet. This is when a nice bottle of wine or sparkling wine paired with a box of decadent chocolates would be a welcome alternative to all those new baby toys. Mom and Dad will enjoy this delightful treat after the baby is sound asleep.
Dinner certificate (babysitter included) – As a new parent, evenings at their favorite restaurant will be few and far between for some time. Offer them an incentive to plan their first “parent’s night” dinner with a gift certificate at their favorite place. This will give them the time they need to unwind from their hectic new parenting schedule. This should include a confirmed babysitter – you! And you won’t regret that face-to-face meeting with your new little friend.
Diaper bag – Like a good and elegant bag, mom can’t have too many diaper bags! A good diaper bag will be with them for many years, so even if they choose one for themselves, having more than one is great for different occasions. Pick one that matches Mom’s typical style in terms of color and design and should include a good number of pockets inside and out. Many come with additional features like a matching changing table or insulated bottle liner. A good diaper bag will always be a much appreciated gift.
Don’t let all these different baby gift options confuse you. You now have some great gift options for new parents, and the best gift of all could be a combination of both!
