Godparents and friends of parents: want to know how to give gifts for babies? Here are the 10 ideas you should know on what gifts are best for babies!

Giving gifts are part of our culture of celebrating someone’s birthday, or even a culture of giving in any season. Sometimes, it is hard to think of something to give to someone, mostly if we do not have any idea of the recipient.

Even to the new parents, it may sometimes be hard to think of something to gift to their baby. The most common celebrations might be their newborn baby’s birthday, baptismal, monthly growing up, or any particular celebration with regards to their baby.

Choosing a perfect gift may be from the idea of getting the parent’s baby registry. If the registry is not available, and you want the baby to get the idea of a more customized and unique gift, this article is what you need to read.

What to consider in ideal gifts for babies

Looking for gifts for baby boys and girls is something that is not difficult to deal with. Choices are from lovely clothes to fun toys and stuff, there are many gift ideas to celebrate any occasion.

Whether it is your own baby girl or baby boy or simply you are buying one for your inaanak, be practical. Purchase something that will be useful and can be used for a longer time by the baby or parents and caregivers.

Of course, we should consider the age appropriateness of your idea of giving gifts to a baby. Buying a gift that is safe for a 9-month-old baby could not be safe for a 3-month-old baby.

We must also be attentive in looking at the age recommendation, design, chemical contents, toy safety, value, and longevity in checking out a gift.

We may also add the baby’s gender to the list of what to consider an ideal gift to give. Sometimes, the design of a baby boy’s clothes would not be appropriate for a baby girl.

A general list of what best gifts to include in your list of choices for babies

An idea of best gifts for a baby you may want to consider also something that can stimulate the baby’s senses.

It might look like babies do not have anything to do like eating or sleeping in repeat the whole day. But their first year of life is a groundbreaking shift in their development.

And even before they might be able to hold a toy. Babies are most likely ready to play it.

The best baby toys can engage the babies. Babies focus on the contrast that they can see or hear, and the sounds and kinesics they can create themselves.

The director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development and author of How Toddlers Thrive Tovah Klein accounts for the things that give babies feedback as good gift ideas.

She explains that a classic baby rattle when hit and moved, gives a sense of having a place in the world to the babies.

What to look out for in a baby gift store?

In their early months of development, babies also explore with their orality or mouth. It is better to give babies things that are not choking hazards.

Also, it is also good to give a baby something that is interesting to their tongue and make it simple.

These are the ideal gifts your recipient baby girl or boy  should have in their early year of life:

  • sensory toys for babies
  • gifts exclusively for a baby girl or a baby boy
  • play gyms, mats, and tables for babies
  • activity toys for babies
  • books for babies
  • hygiene and health kits for babies

This list might be helpful for you to think of a specific gift.  You might find different baby stores with these options to purchase a gift for the baby.

Also, you might want to ask the baby’s parents or their preference. Or if he is your own baby, you may ask your friends for a gift idea you should give the baby.
