How to Find the Perfect Newborn Baby Gift

The occasion of a newborn baby calls for a gift that is special and memorable.  Have you ever been to a baby shower with a gift you thought was that unique and special gift, only to find that someone else came with the same or similar gift?  Did you wish you had shopped a boutique store rather than a national chain store – but who has the time! 

Here are 5 tips to help you select the perfect newborn baby gift with a really special and unique gift:

Tip 1: Personalize a gift with the newborn baby’s name.  The name of a child has been talked about, debated, maybe even wrestled over – it was picked with love and care.  So, celebrate the new baby’s name with a personalized gift that has their name front and center.  That name on the gift will become more and more important as that child grows to recognize their name.  And it will be one gift that is stored and treasured well into that child’s life.

Tip 2: Babies grow quickly, so think ahead about your gift.  A new born baby doesn’t stay that little very long and they really don’t need a lot in those first few months.  Soon, that baby will be grasping, crawling, stacking,  and, believe it or not, walking.  Your newborn baby gift, doesn’t need to be just for those first few months of a baby’s life.  Think of educational toys, bathtime  play toys or a special wall hanging that will be with the baby for years to come. 

Tip 3: Consider gifts that provide educational value.  Newborn babies are learning new things from the moment they are born.  Try selecting something unique that has an element of learning, like sorting toys, books (the board books are so fun for  little ones up to three years old), puzzles, or manipulative toys.  Even if a child doesn’t play with that toy right away, an educational gift for a new born may be just the thing to set it apart from the other gifts.

Tip 4: Traditional blue and pink are always favorites.  These soft colors are still around because they have sentimental value.  Why not find a traditional blue or pink baby gift and combine it with name personalization to make it extra sentimental.  For example, a blue baby blankie with the baby boy’s name and birth date on it.  It may just be a favorite baby gift to receive and to give. 

Tip 5: Look online for the perfect baby gift that you won’t find in the big box retail stores.  The web makes it easy to search, compare and order from your own home.  If you find a site you really like, you might want to keep it handy for all the newborn baby gifts you’ll need to buy this year.  Go ahead and get online and start searching – you might be amazed at what you can find!

Selecting the perfect newborn baby gift can be fun and easy!  You’ll be happy knowing you’ve given a gift that will be treasured for life – so go ahead and make a memory.
