From Classic to Keepsakes: Five Gifts for a New Baby
The first year of a baby’s life is full of memorable milestones. Opening
and closing hands, waving “bye-bye,” developing a “social smile,”
discovering toes, and of course, taking the first step.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a baby’s first year is also a an important period for cognitive development, including exploring new objects, responding to expressions and emotions, and gesturing back. The first year is also when babies develop bonds of love, trust, and emotional engagements. The way parents hold, play, and cuddle their baby sets a strong foundation for baby’s social skills later in life.
A baby’s first year is also a special time for gift-giving. Babies are just beginning to explore the world around them, and everything is new, interesting, and engaging. Toys that aid in sensory development, cognitive growth, and social engagement can be both educational and adorable. And you never know, that one special gift—like a favorite stuffed animal or blanket—could be the one they hang onto for years to come.
Keepsakes
In the first year, a baby is just as likely to be interested in the wrapping paper as they are the actual gift. Instead of going with a traditional stuffed animal or toy, look for something to commemorate their birth or a big milestone. Baby keepsakes are a perfect way to capture or celebrate a baby’s precious early moments.
Picture frames, ornaments, hand-carved figurines, or even a cute little piggy bank make great keepsakes for babies that are sentimental, meaningful, and adorable.
Books
Story time is one of the most cherished childhood pastimes that create meaningful moments between a baby and parents. Give a new baby the gift of a story and watch as they learn to recognize objects, pictures, and names.
From classic baby books like Pat the Bunny and Goodnight Moon to books with engaging rhymes and interactive pictures, there is no such thing as too many books.
Apparel
There are few things cuter than a soft little onesie or baby booties. Cute baby apparel doesn’t stop there either. Give the gift of comfort and cuddles with sweet baby socks, pajamas, hats, or robes that are sure keep a new baby warm and snuggly.
You can get creative, too. If the baby’s parents are outdoorsy, look for a onesie their baby can wear on a hike. Maybe the parents are die-hard sports fans. Get the little one a T-shirt so they can celebrate game day, too. Or perhaps a new baby was born around a holiday. A seasonal gift is a great way to celebrate in style.
Plush Favorites
Adorable plush stuffed animals or cuddly blankets are classic baby gifts for good reason: Babies love exploring, grabbing, and cuddling. A soft stuffed teddy or cuddly lion is a great gift for a baby shower, a birthday, or any other occasion.
Christenings or Baptisms
A christening or baptism is a beautiful moment, and you can help capture it with a frame or memento specifically for the occasion. An ornament, snow globe, stuffed animal, or rosary box are thoughtful gifts that memorialize this particularly special moment.
