How to Give a Baby Gift That Makes a Lasting Impression
As you can tell, not all baby gifts are of equal value. Some certainly stand out from the crowd and some seem to get lost in the sea of baby gifts new parents receive.
The price is not what makes a baby gift highly memorable or less memorable, but the thought that has been put into the gift and the way it is presented. Give baby gifts that make an impression and are treasured for years to come.
Think of the things that the new parents need or want most right now. All new parents need a variety of items for their new bundle of joy and chances are they put those things on the baby registry. With this in mind, when you are searching for baby gifts, check to see if they have registered the gifts they want and if so, consider it as your reference in selecting items you want to provide them.
Choose an appropriate gift. Usually, Godparents will spend more for baby gifts than the parents’ friends or coworkers. You have so many choices to choose from, but even so, it is best to stay within your budget. Whether inexpensive or not, the parents will love what you choose, so long as it does not appear too cheap nor extravagant. Remember, the degree of a present is not solely determined on its price, but the amount of time you spend searching for it, the thought that goes into it, or the time you spend creating it.
Consider a helpful gift, such as your time. Commit to care for the baby while they spend an evening out, or even overnight somewhere. You can also volunteer your time to cook some meals for them or help with household chores.
If time is something you have little of, consider buying baby gift baskets that include everything a baby needs-baby lotions, powders, soaps and even blankets, bibs, burp cloths and hooded towels. You could also choose cute personalized baby toys to place in the basket as an added gift. Have the baby’s name or initials embroidered on the plush toys.
If you cannot find the perfect personalized baby gifts to give, consider making something on your own and personalizing it yourself. Along with the baby’s name or initials, you could add the baby’s date of birth and astrological sign.
Make your present more appealing by attractively wrapping. Even a small or inexpensive item, if packaged neat and attractive, looks tasteful. If your gift is for a baby shower, find out the theme of the baby shower and then wrap the items in wrapping paper or put them in gift bags that match the baby shower theme. If the gift is for a new baby’s coming home party, go with the theme of the nursery. In fact, giving a gift that matches the baby’s room is always an excellent idea. It also gives you other gift options, such as baby blankets, crib bedding and even pieces of room decor, such as a name plate for the room.
