Let’s explore these ideas that will help you make the right decision in choosing an appropriate baby gift and will make you look like an expert with your friends, even if you don’t have children. 

1. Learn the gender and age of the baby

Knowing the gender of the baby will be very helpful as it will make the selection of the gift easier and faster, however is not a must and is ok if you do not know the gender or if the parents have decided not to reveal it until the baby is born. If you don’t know the gender of the baby you can choose a unisex baby gift in neutral tones, such as beige, greens, greys or yellow, colors that are very suitable for either a baby boy or a baby girl. Choosing a bigger unisex baby gift can also be a suitable option when choosing a baby gift for twins or triplets. 

You should also consider the age and development stage of the baby when choosing a baby gift. Newborns have different needs than older babies, so it’s important to choose a gift that is appropriate for their age and stage. For example, a gift that is suitable for a newborn may not be appropriate for a six-month-old baby.

Consider the baby’s age and stage of development when selecting a gift. Newborns may benefit from items such as bottles, swaddles, blankets, or a baby carrier, while older babies may enjoy toys, books, or clothes. When in doubt, you could consider a baby gift with skincare products, which can be used also for a one-year-old baby. 

2. Choose practical and essential items

Practical baby gifts offer good value for money as they can be used for a longer period of time as well as it will help the baby learn as she explores the environment and grows. Things to consider when choosing a practical baby gift are: baby’s age, safety, brand reputation, durability, reviews and recommendations.

Safety should always be a top priority when selecting a baby gift. Make sure the gift meets safety standards and is free of any potential hazards. For example, avoid gifts with small parts that could be a choking hazard, and opt for toys that are made from non-toxic materials.

It’s also important to choose a gift of high quality that will last. Look for gifts made from durable materials that can withstand wear and tear. High-quality gifts not only ensure the baby’s safety but also show that you care about the family’s well-being.

Here are a few examples of practical and useful gifts that any parent will be grateful to receive:

• A cuddly soft toy

Another excellent gift idea for a baby is a soft, cuddly stuffed animal. Babies love to snuggle with soft items, and a stuffed animal can provide comfort and security as well as help the baby develop their motor skills and cognitive abilities. Look for stuffed animals that are made of high-quality, non-toxic materials and are easy to clean. Some popular stuffed animal options include teddy bears, rabbits, and puppies. A great option is the Baby Boy Mustela Gift Box or the Baby Girl Gift Box that includes a soft teddy bear that follows the EU security standards for toys manufacturing and is environmental friendly being made from recycled plastic. 

• A set of baby clothes

For a more practical gift, consider a set of baby clothes. Babies grow quickly and need a constant supply of new clothes, and parents will appreciate the help in stocking their baby’s wardrobe. Choose clothes that are made of soft, breathable fabrics and have snap or zipper closures for easy dressing and changing. Some popular options for baby clothes include onesies, pajamas, and rompers.
