4.51
YAY! There is a new baby in your life! Congratulations on becoming a new parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent or friend of this wonderful bundle of joy. This is a wonderful time in your life and the last thing you want to worry about is spending hours of your time finding the perfect gift for a baby. There are so many possibilities! From toys to clothes to educational gifts to tools for the parents to use, shopping for a baby can be very overwhelming. We have you covered with our baby boy and girls gift ideas. Babies are such little bundles of joy and we always want to keep them happy and healthy. And nothing makes them happier than a new toy to play with! But, when it comes to getting them the right toy, it can be a bit challenging. There are so many different things out there from baby rattles to more educational gifts. This guide will help you make the right decision so that you can get the perfect gift for that special baby!

10 Things to Consider When Looking for a Gift for Babies

1. Age Appropriate

You may think that any toy that looks fun and colorful is the perfect toy for a baby gift but that’s not true. You don’t want to buy a toy for a baby just to find out that it’s too advanced for the baby’s comprehension. Which is why it’s important the baby falls in the appropriate age range. This is easily done by checking the toy’s packaging which generally says which ages it’s suitable for. This ensures that the baby will be able to understand how to use and get the most fun out of it!

2. Safety, Safety, Safety

When it comes to babies, it’s always safety first! And contrary to popular belief, not all toys are perfectly safe for babies such as toys that have lots of small parts or anything that has an electrical cord. That’s why it’s important to make sure the toy you are buying can be operated by a child safely by themselves or with adult supervision.

3. Promotes Learning and Creativity

Babies are figuring out the world around them with every touch, smell, sight and sound. So, you don’t just want to give them a toy that is fun to play with; you want to give them a toy that helps them learn as well as inspires their creativity. This can be anything from learning designed games that teach things like the alphabet to building blocks that allow the baby to create different things.

4. Encourages Physical Activity

Physical activity is great for a baby because it promotes healthy body functions and teaches them how to coordinate their movements. Toys that promote physical activity are extremely good for babies, especially ones that are just learning to walk. And there are many toys out there, from simple to extravagant, that make learning to move fun for babies!

5. Stimulates Different Senses

Lots of toys out there only do one thing. For example, a rattle only produces a sound when it’s shaken but nothing else. And while it may not be boring to a baby it doesn’t stimulate their other senses. Toys that provide a multi-sensory experience are the best and have been proven to help reduce stress and stop certain behaviors in special needs cases. These baby toys generally do several things like light up, make sound, have different textures and so on.

6. Can Be Used for Several Years

Although babies are bundles of joy, they aren’t when it comes to the wallet. They grow up so fast and that means having to constantly buy them new things to fit their new age. Which is why toys that be used for several years are the best! These toys generally start at a baby’s comprehension level but as they grow it can be adjusted to become more and more challenging for them. It’s great for them and great for your wallet!

7. Material

Toys can be made up of all different kinds of materials and some of them can be toxic if the baby puts the toy in its mouth, which is something they do a lot. Make sure that all the toys you buy are made from non-toxic, durable materials, this includes things like plastics, paints and any coatings they may put to make toys last. The toy should also be durable so that it doesn’t easily break which is important for the baby’s safety and for your wallet.

8. Unique

There are so many different toys out there that all seem to do the same thing, light up, teach letters and numbers, make sounds, etc. so does it really matter which one you get? Yes! If you really want your child to get a jumpstart on learning, it’s really important to consider how they’re learning these things. Toys that teach babies basic things, in a unique way, are the best way for the baby to learn fast and enjoy it! This is fantastic for teaching them that it’s fun to learn and there are many ways to do it, which makes it a perfect baby gift.

9. Interaction

Babies are almost always under constant supervision so think about getting toys that you can also play with. This helps stimulate fun interaction between parent and child and brings you closer together. Toys that require teamwork and problem solving are perfect for helping the baby learn about life skills at an early age which they internalize as they grow up. This helps them be a kinder person with great social skills!

10. Fun!

Last but not least, the toy you're gifting to the baby should be fun! Don’t get caught up in all the little details and end up getting something that is just plain boring for a baby. All these tips are helpful guidelines but don’t need to be followed strictly. As long as it’s safe and interesting to the baby then above all it should be fun. Remember that babies learn through fun and play!

And you don’t even have to worry about breaking the bank for these gifts because we feature all different types of toys in a wide range of prices. So whether you want to get the most expensive toy we have or you need something less pricey but still, of good quality, we’ve got you covered!

What to Look Out for When Shopping for Baby Gifts

Is someone close to you expecting a little bundle of joy? If so, it is only natural to want to shower the mom to be and her little baby with tons of gifts. And while there is certainly nothing wrong with that, there are some things that you should be aware of as you search for the perfect gifts.

Are you invited to a baby shower and wondering what to get? Or are you just feeling generous and want to help out a close friend or family member? To really go the extra mile keep these things in mind so that you can be sure you get the best gifts that any mom would really love and get a lot of use out of. You also always want to keep safety in mind when shopping for unique baby gifts- you don’t want to purchase something that the baby won’t be able to use!

Here are some great tips on things to look out for when shopping for baby gifts.

1. Go for one pieced outfits

We can totally admit that shopping for baby clothes can sometimes be more fun than shopping for our own clothes. They are just so cute, and there are so many options today! If you want to shop for a cute new outfit for baby, there is nothing wrong with that! However, we recommend that you be on the lookout for cute one pieced outfits. While cute pants, shirts, and jackets may look adorable, they are simply not practical especially for newborns and really young babies. All new moms will agree!

Onesies are easier to get on and off, and there is a lot of that going on with newborns! Make life easier on mom and baby- save the other outfits for when the baby is a little bit older!

Don’t despair, though! There are plenty of totally adorable onesies available, so you can still have fun shopping for the perfect baby outfit, just keep practicality in mind while you search for your perfect baby gift!

2. Consider a baby carrier

Most attention when it comes to traveling with a baby goes towards strollers, and with good reason. A stroller is certainly a necessity, but it’s not the only way a mom can travel around with baby! A baby carrier (that allows her to attach the baby to her front) is a great alternative to a stroller and can actually come in handy in certain situations.

If you have any experience with children, you know how needy they can be at times, always wanting to be right by your side! If you need to be up and moving getting things done, it doesn’t seem practical to drag a stroller or highchair around the house with you get chores done. It certainly isn’t practical to have to hold the baby the entire time either. Instead, strap the baby to you and off you go! Many moms prefer having baby close to them and like that it gives them more freedom- two hands-free!!

If you are on the lookout for a great gift for baby, keep a lookout for baby carriers and don’t count them out - it may be just the perfect thing that the new mom won’t be able to live without!

3. Make sure it is age-appropriate

Now, of course, this doesn’t mean that we think you’ll be buying the baby a bottle of champagne. Of course not!! Instead, you just want to make sure you are looking out for the age range on any gift you are thinking of purchasing- anything from clothing, to diapers, toys, you name it! There are a lot of items that a new mom needs for her baby, and getting her a thoughtful baby gift she can use right away is a great thing. Notice we said right away!

You don’t want to accidentally get the baby something that he or she can’t use right away. This leaves mom having to store the item and go out on her own to buy the items she needs. Don’t accidentally make that mistake! When shopping for a baby gift it is about both getting something sweet for baby, but also making life a little bit easier for mom!

A lot of new parents also end up running out of storage space in their home or apartment to keep all the new items they need, so getting them something they won’t be able to use for a few months forces them to find more space to store it. Make sure anything you get can be used and enjoyed right away! Keep a lookout for those age markers, you’ll find them on all baby items!

4. No small parts!

As you shop for baby gifts, be on the lookout for any toys that have small parts to them! This is a major no-no when buying a gift for a baby. The last thing you want to do is give baby something that is not safe for them! Make sure the gift you buy is safe and doesn’t have small parts. If it does for some reason and you still want to purchase it, make sure that the baby’s parents know about the small parts so that they can make the decision if they want to use it or wait until the baby is older.

Most gifts will say on the packaging if they have small parts, so make sure you give items a good look when deciding what to buy as a baby gift. You have more options as baby gets older, but for now, safety is a major priority and small pieces can accidentally be swallowed and baby can choke- you don’t want that!

Toys to help a baby develop and learn are great, just make sure they are age-appropriate and most importantly, safe. They make for a great gift and will help the baby with his or her movement, coordination, and so much more!

5. Beware of used gifts

Finally, one big thing to look out for when shopping for baby gifts is to make sure that you aren’t buying a used item. This is mostly an issue when you are shopping online. You might find a great deal on a bigger ticket item such as a stroller or a car seat and think you’ve found the perfect baby gift. Don’t jump to buy just let! Look a little closer- oftentimes upon closer inspection, you’ll see that the item is used.

While all used items are not bad, you do need to be very careful with them, especially when it comes to things like car seats that help keep baby safe. When an item is used some of the most important safety features may be less effective, in which case you would not want to go with that item!

To play it safe, we recommend not purchasing a used item, especially if you are buying it for someone else. Instead, why not consider joining with another friend or family member to split the cost of a larger item? It is a great gift to give that will help out new parents, but we understand how pricey these items can be! Instead of going for a used and cheaper item, split the cost of a new item and rest easy that baby is getting the best, safest baby gift product there is!
