When shopping around for a gift hamper for a new baby, it’s easy to shop with nothing more than baby in mind. However, there are some important points to consider if you want to make sure that mum and dad enjoy the gift as much as possible. After all, that cute little outfit is going to make them smile while baby is still oblivious to all things fashion-related.
 
So, the first thing you need to ask yourself is if your gift idea is something that the parents will really need. If you know that they held onto most of the essentials from their first child, then you might need to get a bit more creative. In some instances, a new outfit can go a long way. Especially if baby number one was a girl and baby number two is a boy! In most cases, it’s best to take the direct approach and ask the parents what they feel that they need.
 
Another important aspect of any new baby gift is that element of luxury. Include something classy for the new parents to enjoy together like a glassy bottle of non-alcoholic bubbly. You can even have a special gift made like a soft baby blanket or bath towel with baby’s name embroidered on it!
 
Remember that babies grow up really quickly and, while most people focus their gifts around the first few months, you might want to get ahead of yourself and send something that the baby can “grow into”. For example, teething toys, bath toys, and anything educational will always be welcomed by parents interested in the mental stimulation of their little one.
 
Another great idea is to give mum and dad a gift that allows them to keep track of baby’s progress. There are so many great baby gifts out there that allow you to make a mold of your baby’s hands and feet. These can then be framed and displayed as desired and they will last a lifetime! This gift is great for parents to pass down to their child when he or she is all grown up.
