When the firstborn appears in the family, this is a big and very important event for everyone. Happy parents try to share their joy with close relatives and colleagues. They quite logically have a question - what to give for the birth of a child?

Features of choice

It is not easy to make a choice - it is necessary that the hotel be original and like the newly-made parents. In some families, there is a tradition when a girl, waiting for her first child, thinks about making gifts herself, and this is great, because relatives do not have to “rack their brains” over purchasing things for the baby.

Surprises should not be for children over 6 months old, or your gift will be put on hold.

Let's decide on the choice of a gift for the baby from relatives and the team.

Bedding

You will not regret choosing blankets (for summer and winter), bedding, canopies and bumpers. It is imperative to take into account the fact that things related to the child's sleep should be made of cotton and linen.

Crib

A gift such as a bed can be presented by colleagues. The child should sleep on a children's orthopedic mattress, in a comfortable bed, and this is very important for the baby's health, and it is also a good financial support for the child's mom and dad. Take a closer look at the beds that "grow" with the baby, for structures that have lockers and devices for installing a canopy.

Baby clothes

When choosing smart clothes for your baby, pay attention to the following:

  • do not buy clothes for the future, especially seasonal ones: so that the winter jacket does not fit the child only in summer;
  • baby clothes should consist only of natural materials;
  • Choose cute, simple models - so you can easily put on and take off;
  • avoid buying clothes with parts that can be accidentally swallowed (buttons, beads).

Washer

If the family has not acquired this device, or the washing machine is old and often deteriorates, such a joint gift from relatives or colleagues will be very useful. Many modern washing machines are equipped with special modes for delicate washing of children's clothes - the equipment operating manual should contain this information.

Souvenirs

Often, young parents, with the birth of their first child, keep an album of the moments of their baby's life, and after many years they all revise and re-read the wonderful moments together. Children's albums, "Diaries for Mom", photo frames can be a wonderful souvenir that will serve for many years.

It is very interesting and touching to open a children's album or "Mother's Diary" together with a child and recall moments from the "golden childhood".

Diaper cake

The diaper cake is original, cute, but do not forget that a diaper is a personal hygiene item, for example, like a toothbrush. Therefore, it would be wrong to use it if it lay without a protective box.

If you do decide to give such a souvenir, then let such a gift be purely symbolic, in addition to it, buy a whole package of diapers.

Mobile phones and carousels

Carousels are children's toys that are hung over the baby's crib: it can be a circle of moving animals or little people. The mobile phone runs on batteries, and the carousel is started manually. The mobile carousel is often complemented by the function of playing musical melodies using moving toys, mini-projectors, showing an intricate shadow theater performance on the wall or ceiling.

Baby cosmetics

For a child, you should choose only high-quality certified products, without "chemistry" and aromas. Baby shampoos, bath foams, powders, creams should be neutral and have a natural composition.

Chaise longue for babies

A chaise longue is a portable seat for a child with seat belts. Some models are equipped with a carrying handle and a detachable feeding table, which allows it to be used for travel of the baby in nature.

Developing mat

A rug, a warm blanket or a thin mattress made of dense fabric, decorated with bright children's drawings, will be of interest to the baby. The set for the rug includes arches with a foam rubber coating - "bridges", which are installed on the rug so that it is convenient to hang rattling toys.

Baby toys

Young mothers themselves rarely buy toys for their unborn baby even before birth, so they will come in handy. A big request for sisters, brothers and girlfriends who purchase games for a child, do not conduct experiments, but leave this to a professional consultant in the children's goods department, he will tell you what children need in the first months of life.

Electronic swing

A young mother will surely experience the delight of an electronic swing. They gently imitate the swaying in the arms of the mother, the child calms down and falls asleep. Of course, children are all different and not all can behave in the same way, some like swaying, and some do not, but as practice shows, this thing is irreplaceable. The market provides different models and prices vary. It is better to choose a swing with several modes of motion sickness and with a music panel, where you can hear the sounds of nature, classical music or the beating of your mother's heart.

Changing table

It may happen that young parents did not have time to buy a changing table before childbirth, try to help and buy it as a gift.It is better to purchase a special folding table, but some parents buy changing chests of drawers, which is less practical, since the baby after 5-6 months is more active, and it will be problematic to swaddle him on the chest of drawers. It is much more convenient to dress the child on the table, of course, the table should fold out.

When the table "fulfills" its own, it can be hidden in the closet or given to relatives "by inheritance."

What to give if a boy is born?

If you have a boy, all your relatives and friends have been waiting for all these 9 months. He was born, and everyone is hardly expecting a meeting with the baby and young parents. So, what to give to a newly born boy so that a surprise is needed? Clothes are a great gift for a child. Choosing it always takes a lot of time. Since boys grow up very quickly, you should not choose suits "just right", because the thing will quickly become small. You need to choose a little more outfits, taking into account the upcoming season.

It is preferable to give a jumpsuit made of wool. These off-season clothing is in high demand. As a gift, you can knit original booties, a beautiful blue suit or sew a linen hat with your own hands. A name or a fictitious emblem can be embroidered on a product for a boy, and your creative gift can become a favorite clothing for a baby. You need to know that for work you should definitely take natural material.

A fun surprise maybe cake or bouquet of clothes... Clothes will still have to be washed before use, so you should not worry too much about the hygiene of things. Beautiful roses from socks should cheer up young parents. The gift will definitely remain in the history of photographs and will be a fun memory in the future. A large terry towel with a hood and a beautiful applique will also be a good gift. A great gift, because the baby takes a bath every day.

It is original if silver is a gift for birth. It could be a pretty silver spoon. After some time, she will be needed to feed the baby. There is no better material like silver for a baby spoon.

When choosing silver, it is not at all necessary to consult with the parents of the baby, since silver is always welcome in the house.

Gifts for the birth of a girl

Since walks are one of the important parts in a baby's life, it is not always convenient to walk with a stroller. Of course, if young parents do not have an elevator in the house, or a young mother needs to go to the store, a gift can be an unusual idea to use for a walk. "Scarf - for mothers" and "mother - beads". "Scarf for mothers" is a wide dense fabric cloth that is attached at the waist of the mother, and "mother - beads" is a useful and necessary souvenir made of high-quality food-grade silicone or processed wood, fastened with nylon thread.

When worn on the mother's neck instead of beads, "mother - beads" play the role of a toy and perfectly facilitate the baby's teething time, as well as develop fine motor skills and are very helpful in learning colors and shapes. You can also gift a custom pacifier holder. It can be made of the same materials as "mother - beads".

And to make walks in the fresh air more colorful and brighter, you can give a stretcher for the stroller (if the mother walks with the stroller for long distances), also made of materials safe for the baby, from certain types of wood: juniper, beech, hornbeam. These breeds are pleasant to the touch and smell.

Other options

You can enumerate many different options for gifts that are no less necessary and useful for the baby and new parents.

  • A humidifier not only maintains the necessary humidity in the room, but also purifies the air.
  • Large arc-shaped feeding cushion. It comes in different colors, it is very convenient to rest on it.
  • A dummy thermometer that measures your baby's temperature.
  • Photo frames that will decorate and delight with happy moments.

Also an inexpensive and original gift is a personalized beads-cubes for teething... They look like small silicone cubes (or beads) where each item has the letter of the child's name written on it. This irreplaceable item will help the baby's teeth to appear more painlessly without any problems.

How to make a present with your own hands?

The best gift as a present is, of course, hand-made things. Warm pure wool knits such as hats, socks, overalls and throws are generally welcome. And if the baby was born in autumn or winter, it will be a very necessary and pleasant gift made with love and from the heart.

The list for a present to a baby is huge. Whatever you choose, it doesn't matter if the gift is purchased in a store or made by hand, it must be filled with personality. You can wrap it in bright, colorful paper, you can tie a beautiful blue or pink bow. Do not forget an important rule: you cannot save on things for a baby.

If you go to visit where there is a baby, you need to make sure that the present is safe, bright, and individual.
