Collected what will definitely come in handy for newly-made parents.
1. Baby monitor
The video baby monitor will allow young parents to move away from the newborn at a decent distance and at the same time stay in the know about his activities. And also - to react quickly if their personal presence is suddenly needed. A gadget usually consists of two devices: a camera, which is installed near the child, and a parental screen to keep track of what is happening.
Often, the device has two-way audio communication, thanks to which it will be possible to calm the baby without going up to him. Many models also include temperature sensors for creating an optimal microclimate in the nursery, pre-installed lullabies, feeding reminders and other useful features.
2. Backpack
A comfortable, roomy backpack will never be superfluous. But as a gift for the birth of a child, it is worth considering a model specially created for parents. Its main difference lies in the increased internal volume and the presence of a mass of pockets, compartments and elastic bands.
In such a backpack you can easily place diapers, diapers, bottles, toys, change of clothes, wet wipes and other items. In short, take with you everything you may need while walking or hiking somewhere. Some models also have thermowells for transporting food and drinks, attachments to a stroller and other chips.
The accessory has wide, breathable straps that are adjustable in length. They will not cut into the skin and will help to evenly distribute the load.
3. Mobile
A mobile is a pendant with toys of different shapes, colors and sizes. It is attached above the crib, stroller and any other place for the baby to rest. Some models are equipped with musical accompaniment and a special mechanism that automatically rotates attached objects.
Toys are spinning, music is playing - and this helps to entertain the child. Thanks to this, he will calmly lie in the crib for at least half an hour. And he will also be able to touch and examine multi-colored pendants: to know the world through touch, to train vision, hearing and muscle tone.
4. Children's tableware
When choosing a gift, be guided by when the items will be used. If you want new parents to immediately appreciate the benefits of the presentation, pay attention to the various bottles with measuring spoons.
If the option for growth is allowed, take a closer look at the sets consisting of non-spill plates and spoons. They are made of safe materials, are attached to the table with suction cups and help to feed the child without fear of overturning the plate and staining everything around.
5. Jewelry box or photo album
A box for storing milk teeth, the first lock of hair and a tag from the hospital can be safely presented to sentimental parents. If you are sure that the couple wants to keep in memory as many significant moments as possible until the child grows up, then it is better not to come up with an option.
It can be just a beautiful box or a specialized model with compartments for each tooth. Or even a full-length album. There are just suitable options on sale, in which, in addition to cells for photographs, caskets and envelopes are provided for storing everything important, space for recording the first achievements, a stadiometer and other cool additions.
6. Books
The main rule when choosing a book is to remember that it is intended for the child, and not for his parents. And children are more interested in watching big colorful pictures and listening to the voice of dad or mom, regardless of what fairy tales and stories they read.
Also, look at early development books. Usually, these are pleasant to the touch products with soft covers, voluminous illustrations, bows, clasps and other eye-catching elements. Classes with such publications will help develop fine motor skills and tactile perception.
7. Busyboard
The main task of the business board is to provide the child with safe and interesting things for independent research. For example, latches, large beads, laces, felt appliques, gears and other items. They can be touched, rotated, closed and opened - in general, you can do whatever you want.
A business board can be made in the form of a board, an animal, or even a house with a lot of interesting things to study.
8. Developing mat
Another useful gift that will help develop motor skills, perseverance, thinking, and also have a beneficial effect on physical maturation.
For small children, models with soft sides that limit the space for games are more suitable. It is good if the kit also includes removable arches for hanging toys.
When choosing a gift for growth, it is worth considering models with lighting, music and other options.
9. Rocking chair
Swing or chaise longue, rocking chair - this item has many names, but the essence is the same. The classic model is a baby cradle. The modern one is already supplemented by a motor, the vibration of which helps to rock and calm the newborn while the parents are doing other things.
Also on sale you can find options with a spring mechanism. It comes into action from the movements of the child and helps him to have fun even in the absence of adults.
10. Blanket
The main criterion when choosing a blanket as a gift for the birth of a child is the environmental friendliness of materials. For the summer, it is worth picking up products made of linen, fleece or flannel fabric. Winter options can be made from natural alpaca, llama or sheep wool, as well as cashmere.
11. Baby care set
These kits include the tools you need to take good care of your newborn. Basic kits include safety scissors, a soft-bristled comb and a silicone fingertip for massaging gums and further cleaning baby teeth.
In addition, you can find extended kits, complete with a pipette, a non-contact thermometer, a water thermometer, a nose aspirator and ear cleaners. As a nice bonus - a handy storage bag.
12. Bathing set
To choose one thing, you have to suffer. There are kits on sale that include a wide variety of accessories. For example, trays, suction cup slides and buckets with colorful patterns. You can also find bathing kits, consisting of bathrobes, well-absorbent towels and special sponges-gloves.
If you try, you will be able to find universal options, in which there is both a bath and a blanket, which will come in handy after water procedures. Rubber toys, special circles under the head or pillows will also be appropriate.
13. Cocoon
A positioner roller, cocoon or nest - these are berths with low soft sides. They are designed to support the infant and ensure correct posture and safety during sleep. With such an accessory, parents do not have to worry: the child will definitely not turn over and fall.
14. Fitball
Fitball is useful for gymnastics with children from one month of age. The child can be placed on its stomach or back, wiggled, rolled back and forth and from side to side. Simple exercises will help improve blood circulation, develop the vestibular apparatus, train muscles to work and will be of great help in the formation of motor skills.
15. Gift card
You should not take such a card as a gift for show and unwillingness to look for other ideas to please young parents. A certificate for a children's goods store is a real lifesaver that will help to provide a family with any necessary items. For example, diapers.
The thing is necessary, but as a gift, diapers are unlikely to look appropriate. In addition, they are expensive and consumed very quickly. Thanks to the gift card, parents will be able to significantly replenish their stocks and will definitely be grateful to you.
