Welcome, little baby! The most beautiful gifts for the birth

Finding a truly practical yet beautiful gift for a newborn baby isn't easy. Of course, the primary goal is to welcome the baby and make the new parents happy. But randomly showering them with stuffed animals and rompers doesn't make much sense. We've put together a few ideas for gifts that are guaranteed to be well-received and that will truly make mom, dad, and baby happy.

Prefer accessories to clothes

Even though the shops are full of cute baby clothes, jackets, shirts and the like are not really suitable as new baby gifts. Most parents have already stocked up quite well before the birth and very small babies in particular grow out of their clothes really quickly. Accessories such as hats , pacifier chains or cloths are much better. You can never have enough of these things in the beginning. A light blanket such as our baby blanket is also really practical - for keeping warm in the stroller or car seat, as a quick changing mat or just for snuggling up in at home on the couch. And it can be used for all sorts of things when the baby is older.

Something homemade from the heart

When it comes to homemade items, things are a little different with clothes, of course. Everyone is delighted with a hand-knitted jacket or pair of socks, as they're something very personal. The same goes for stuffed animals. Store-bought ones aren't usually the most popular gifts, but a homemade toy or stuffed animal from a loved one will accompany the baby for a lifetime.

Beautiful and practical things for mom

Give something useful that's essential for everyday life with a baby, but that will also make the new mom really happy. These everyday helpers include everything related to diapering, like our small diaper bags or changing mats for on the go. This keeps diapers and other essentials close at hand. The bags can also be used as a clutch when mom is out and about with her girls. Tired new moms will also love a cosmetic bag filled with some really great care products for relaxing.

As lovely as surprises are, sometimes it makes sense to ask the parents before the baby is born what they could use, especially if you're planning on giving them something larger. A diaper bag is a must-have for any big baby purchase. These are the constant companions of all parents and should therefore not only be easy to handle, but also look good and go with everything (so stay away from floral and bear prints!). And with a simple design, like our little wanderer or global traveler , every dad will become an enthusiastic diaper bag carrier.

Vouchers don't always have to be boring

Sure, giving a voucher as a gift always seems a bit unimaginative at first. But vouchers can be really practical, especially around the birth of a child. If the parents are planning a larger purchase, as described above, you can simply give them a voucher for a specific shop. As boring as it sounds, you can never have enough vouchers for drugstores in the early days with a baby. Otherwise, vouchers for intangible items are also a really good idea. There are no limits to creativity: cooking a meal, baking a cake, tidying up the apartment, looking after the baby while mom takes a shower... little things like these are a real blessing, especially during the postpartum period.
