Diapers
Hey, don’t be surprised – diapers are going to be among what your baby will need the most. A few boxes can be a huge help to new parents already! When a baby grows, so will their size, so you might want to give the parents different sizes, and the parents can use them in the first few months regardless of how big the baby is.
Plushies
There’s a specific reason why plushies were made. Their sole purpose, after all, was to be loved! They’re not just cute, but also warm and can provide your baby with a sweet and cute new friend to hug when they’re sad. There are over a hundred animals you can choose from, from teddy bears to chickens to even ducks.
You can buy your plush from your nearest toy store, but you can almost commission a plush from a trusted provider. They’re soft, cuddly, sweet, and meant for long nights of hugging. A plush is a wonderful gift because it can teach the baby to love and show their affection but also can help them calm down and regulate what they feel.
Photoshoot
You might be able to give a baby items like plushies, but you know else what you can give both the parents and the baby? Memories, and new experiences, too! You just need to hire a photographer, your baby boy clothes; some photographers specialize in photographing babies.
These will be great to keep for future reference and memories. It’s also a fun activity that the parents will enjoy!
Baby Clothes
Another thing that a baby will need is none other than clothes: baby girl clothes for the girls and the baby boy clothes for the boys! A baby is always growing so you may want to be more discerning about the sizing. You can get different clothes in different sizing so that that the parents have options as their little one continues to keep growing.
Baby Sound Machine
An underrated gift you can give to new parents is a baby sound machine. It works as a clock, night light and helps soothe babies with its 11 different sounds (think white noise, ocean, rain), and hands-free feature.
It also has a time-to-rise feature that can help your baby adjust the time that they wake up to; sleep has always been one of the baby’s activities and babies may need help in adjusting when they should be waking up. This gift will age well through your little one’s years.
Wrapping Up
Baby showers are fun, and it’s also good for getting gifts and things a new mother may need. Now that we’ve rounded up these gifts for mother and baby, we hope that you have a better idea of what you can gift for the next baby shower you’re coming to! Happy shopping!
