birthday gifts

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 new parents. In some families, there is a tradition when a girl, in anticipation of her first child, thinks about composing gifts herself, and this is wonderful, because relatives do not have to “puzzle their heads” over acquiring things for the baby.
Surprises should not be intended for children over 6 months old, otherwise your gift will be set aside for use on the back burner.

Let’s decide on the choice of a gift for the baby from relatives and the team.
Bedding
You won’t regret choosing duvets (for summer and winter), bedding, valances and drapes. It is necessary to take into account the fact that things related to the child’s sleep should be made of cotton and linen.


Crib
Colleagues can present such a gift as a crib. The child should sleep on a children’s orthopedic mattress, in a comfortable bed, and this is very important for the health of the baby, and besides, this is a good financial support for the mother and father of the child. Take a closer look at the beds that “grow” with the baby, to the structures that have lockers and devices for installing a canopy.


Baby clothes
When choosing elegant things 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 the summer;
- clothes for the baby should consist only of natural materials;
- choose cute simple models — so that you can easily put on and take off;
- avoid buying clothes with details that can be accidentally swallod (buttons, beads).

Washing machine
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 instruction manual for the equipment should contain this information.

Souvenirs
Often, young parents with the birth of their first child keep an album of moments in their baby’s life and after many years they all review and reread wonderful moments together. Children’s albums, “Diaries for Mom”, photo frames can be a wonderful souvenir that will last for many years.
It is very interesting and touching to open a children’s album or “Mom’s Diary” with a child and remember the 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, like a toothbrush, for example. Therefore, it will be wrong to use it if it has lain without a protective box.
If you still 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 bed: it can be a circle of moving animals or men. The mobile phone runs on batteries, and the carousel is started manually. The mobile carousel is often complemented by the function of playing musical tunes using moving toys, mini-projectors, demonstrating 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
Chaise lounge — a portable seat for a child, on which there are seat belts. Some models are equipped with a carrying handle and a removable feeding table, which allows you to use it for your baby’s travels 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 kit for the rug includes foam-coated arcs — “bridges”, which are installed on the rug in order to conveniently hang rattle 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 experiment, but leave it to a professional consultant in the children’s goods departmenthe will tell you what babies need in the first months of life.


Electronic swing
A young mother will certainly experience the delight of an electronic swing. They gently imitate swaying in the arms of the mother, the child calms down and falls asleep. Of course, children are all different and not everyone can behave in the same way, some people like rocking, 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 mom’s heartbeat.

Changing table
It may happen that young parents did not have time to purchase 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, which is less practical, since the baby behaves more actively after 5–6 months, and it will be problematic to swaddle him on the chest of drars. On the table it is much more convenient to dress the child, of course, the table should fold out.
When the table “works out” its own, it can be hidden in a closet or given to relatives “by inheritance”.

What to give if a boy is born?
If you have a boy, all relatives and friends have been waiting for all these 9 months. He was born, and everyone is barely expecting a meeting with the baby and young parents. So, what to give a newly born boy so that the surprise turns out to be necessary? A great gift for a child is clothes. When choosing it, 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 pick up outfits a little more, taking into account the upcoming season.
It is preferable to give a jumpsuit made of wool. This off-season clothing is ll in demand. As a gift, you can knit original booties, a beautiful blue suit or sew a linen hat with your own hands. A boy’s product can be embroidered with a name or an invented emblem, and your creative gift can become a favorite clothing for the baby. You need to know what you need to take for work natural material.

Might be a fun surprise a cake or a 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. Also a good gift would be a large terry tol with a hood and a beautiful appliqué. A great gift, because the baby takes a bath every day.


Originally, if silver is a gift for birth. It could be a beautiful silver spoon. After some time, she will need to feed the baby. There is no better material than silver for a baby spoon.
When choosing silver, it is not at all necessary to consult the baby’s parents, since silver is always lcome in the house.

Gifts for the birth of a girl
Since walking is one of the important parts in the life of a baby, walking is not always convenient with a stroller. Of course, if young parents do not have an elevator in the house, or a young mother needs to go shopping, a gift can be an unusual idea to use on a walk. “scarf — for moms” and “mom — beads.” “Scarf for moms” is a wide dense fabric that is attached to mommy’s waist, and “mom beads” is a useful and necessary souvenir made of high-quality food-grade silicone or treated wood, fastened with nylon thread.
When worn around the mother’s neck instead of beads, “mother beads” play the role of a toy and perfectly facilitate the baby’s teething time, as ll as develop fine motor skills and help a lot in learning colors and shapes. You can also give a personalized pacifier holder. It can be made from the same materials as “mother — beads”.


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