Before having a baby my favorite thing to buy parents-to-be was baby clothes. They are so cute, tiny and just down right adorable. I could easily spend $100 without even trying … my husband would probably interject at this point and mention this is an addiction I’m still battling. But, have faith, I have limited sed addiction to my own child’s wardrobe for the time being.
Having a baby changed my perspective a bit on baby gifts and I have steered myself towards choosing necessity items off the baby registry and/or putting together some of our favorite gear for the expecting parents. I don’t expect everyone to love everything that we did, however I found it extremely helpful when veteran parents recommended or gifted us their favorites.
Go-to gift bag items …
- Onsie/Outfit
- Nuk Sippy Cup
- Bright Starts Lots of Links
- Burp Clothes
- Wubbanub
- Lansinoh Soothies Gel Pads
- Book {favorites picks: this, this, this and/or this}
- Snack Catcher
Some additional items I sometimes include …
I like to add everything to a cute baby shower gift bag OR arrange them in a pretty basket. Either way, the gift is a mix of things the parents can use immediately as well as items for a few months down the line.
