What do you get for a new mom or dad? Well, they would probably treasure some sleep, but since that’s a gift (truly, it is) that you really can’t give, what are some other options? Here’s our list of some of the tried and true best gifts for new parents.
First-time parents may have received a lot of practical and adorable gifts at a baby shower. While there’s no denying those “aw”-inspiring, pint-sized moccasins are super cute, now that their little one is here, consider gifts that will help those new moms and dads celebrate their incredible step into parenthood.
Let them shout to the world that they are now a parent with a “mama” t-shirt, “new dad” beer stein, or other mom- or dad-branded gift.
Most first-time parents can never have enough picture frames. A beautiful frame is a special gift that helps them show off their precious bundle of joy. Do you have a picture of the baby? Surprise them by framing the photo.
Give new mamas and papas a place to document their baby’s story in words and pictures.
With all their energy focused on their sweet newborn, mom and dad may really appreciate a gift that encourages self-care.
Eye masks help sleep-deprived new parents get some much-needed shut-eye—even if it’s in the middle of the day while their baby naps.
Newborns and relaxation don’t go hand-in-hand. Pamper mom and dad with gifts that promote soothing and stress relief, like lavender-infused candles and luxurious lotions and soaps.
While it’s all baby, all the time now, a spa gift certificate is ideal for that day when the new parents want to “get away” without going far. A massage, facial, or body treatment can help them feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Celebrate baby’s homecoming with gifts new parents will use and cherish.
Any new parent would love a professional photo shoot that captures those idyllic newborn moments that go by so fast.
Plush blankets for the baby and parents make cuddle time extra cozy.
Deliver smiles to the growing family with a gift basket filled with everything from bottles for the baby to a bottle of wine for mom and dad.
Baby’s schedule can make finding time for food shopping and cooking a challenge. Food gifts make life a little easier.
A food delivery gift card gives new parents the flexibility to order from their favorite local places. Or treat them to a restaurant gift card for when they’re ready to resume date nights on the town.
A yummy snack or fruit-filled gift basket can satisfy those late-night munchies after feeding the baby. It’s also great for serving those surprise guests who stop by to meet the newest star of the family.
From the practical to the personal, some gifts are perfect for both parents and their baby.
A baby registry was probably set up months before the baby was born, and it may still be available. Check to see if there are items that were requested and still needed.
Books are a great go-to gift idea for new parents. Help them build their baby’s book collection and love of reading. Don’t forget to write a message in the book so they’ll never forget who gave them the special present.
Customize a gift with the baby’s name. Since the name may have been kept a secret until birth, the parents probably won’t have something similar already. Personalization makes any gift unique—and new parents love to see their baby’s name. You can customize so many types of items, from piggy banks and pillows to growth charts and precious engraved keepsakes like spoons and cups.
Help the new parents welcome home the newest love of their lives with a present they’ll appreciate.
