According to the established tradition, it is customary to present a gift when visiting a baby. For many, his choice is very difficult. I would like to give something beautiful and useful, but at the same time original and memorable. There are many gift options, it all depends on your financial capabilities.
A baby under the age of one year is unlikely to be able to appreciate the gift prepared for him at its true worth, therefore, if you want to present a really necessary thing, consult with the newly-made parents. If you have not received an intelligible answer to your question, or if you want the gift to be a surprise, you can pay attention to the following options.
Baby care items and baby cosmetics
A good gift idea is a bathtub, changing board, hygiene kits for baby care, including safety scissors, an electronic thermometer for measuring body temperature, a tooth massager brush, a nasal aspirator and other useful little things. Baby cosmetics are never superfluous: usually, newborn care products are used up very quickly. Prepare a set for the crumb, which includes a bathing product, baby cream, baby shampoo, talcum powder, milk (or oil) for babies, wet cleansing wipes, protective cream; pack nicely. If you do not know the brand of cosmetics that the mother chooses for the baby, give preference to high-quality hypoallergenic cosmetics sold in pharmacies or trusted stores. It is generally suitable for all babies.
Children's tableware
The modern market for children's products offers a huge selection of tableware. A necessary gift will be baby bottles, sippy cups, feeding sets, consisting of bowls, small spoons, forks and cups. When choosing dishes for your baby, remember the main thing: quality is above all. Resist the temptation to buy a cheap multi-piece set: it’s probably made in China and made of dubious materials. Better to buy a set of fewer items, but a good manufacturer.
Toys and household appliances
Toys are a wonderful gift for a small child. The baby begins to be interested in them by the time she is one month old. These can be ordinary rattles of bright colors, musical mobiles for the crib, developing rugs - they will come in handy by six months. When choosing toys, avoid taking products made from uncertified plastic and plastisols. Do not opt for toys that contain small parts and have sharp edges - they can injure the little man. Give up the idea of giving large soft toys - these "dust collectors" are still useless for your baby.
Electric swings, walkers, jumpers and household appliances for children are great gifts: baby monitors, bottle warmers and sterilizers, juicers and blenders for making juices and purees.
clothing
A very practical and useful gift is clothing for growth. Do not buy baby clothes that are appropriate for the current age of the baby. Most likely, by now the parents have already prepared a “dowry” for their child, and the suit “for now” you donated may not even be unpacked. There is no need to donate shoes - you can easily make a mistake with the size and fullness of the baby's leg.
Baby food and hygiene items
If you decide to present baby food or diapers as a gift, it is better to check with your parents which products of which manufacturers they prefer. Babies are very susceptible to allergic reactions, and their delicate skin is irritated, and your gift can harm the baby.
Valuable gifts and nice little things
An elegant gift for the crumb is a teaspoon of silver, which is known to have bactericidal properties.
If you are not chasing originality, you can give your baby a good photo album, a beautiful photo frame, a set for making casts of the baby's pens and legs.
Gift Certificate
If you are afraid not to guess with a gift, or you cannot decide in any way what is better to present in its quality, prepare a gift certificate to a store that sells goods for children. Parents of the child will be able to choose everything they need for their baby.
