Perfect Gifts for Parents-To-Be


Here is my list of the best and most useful gifts for soon to become parents:  

1. Diapers. You can never go wrong with diapers. I would suggest getting Pampers, because they are the best, but either way, any diapers are always appreciated. Size Newborn and size 1 parents will use for the first three months. Baby goes through at least 8 diapers a day, so if you would like to give a two week diaper supply buy a pack of 100+. Do not worry, there can never be too many diapers.
2. Diaper Cake - great idea. You can build a cake yourself or order one if you do not have the time. I would suggest using diapers size 2 and 3, this way parents can have a cake as decoration for the first few months. 
3. Gift card from a near by take out restaurant. For the first few weeks there is not enough time or energy to cook lunch or dinner. Gift cards from local restaurants will be greatly appreciated as well as noticed for its originality. 
4. Nail Salon/Spa gift card. Bring a SPA gift card and it will stand out from all the other gifts! Baby will be fine because mama takes care of the baby, but your gift card will take care of the mama. Fantastic gift!   
5. Baby bath tub - very practical and useful gift. Parents will be using the tub for at least 9 months. 
6. Footed bodysuits - most comfortable for the baby and easy to put on for parents. I had around 8 long-sleeve footed bodysuits and I used them the most of all the clothes. 
7. Colorful rattles - helps and teaches baby to distinguish colors and something to grab and teeth on.  
8. Sophie - She is simply the best! 
9. Crib and a mattress - baby necessity.
10. Swaddling blankets - can never go wrong with these. 
11.Bibs - are always handy when baby starts eating solid food or is drooling due to teething. Buy a nice looking fashionable bibs. What people do not realize is that a baby will wear a bib not only at home but at public places as well. I would suggest getting striped or polka dot bibs in grey, yellow, orange, green or white. Pink and blue are not very original and boring color selections. 
12. Healthcare kit - it should include thermometer, baby comb, medicine spoon, baby Tylenol and Saline drops. 
13. Changing pad - baby essential. 
14. Baby shampoo - bath time essential. 
15. Aquaphor - dry skin solution. 
16. Bath toys - helps to improve baby's coordination. 
17. Wooden blocks - greatest learning tool. 
18. Playard - an essential. 
19. BEABA Babycook - there is not a better gift for a mom that is going to cook for her baby. 
20. Swing/Bouncer - relief for the tired hands.
21. Leggings - baby wardrobe essential. 
22. Onesies - baby basics. 
23. Baby spoons - kitchen must have. I would recommend getting silicon spoons. 
24. Hair salon gift card for both. Help parents to look their best as well as relax. 
25. Potty Chair - can never go wrong with potty for a baby.

I guarantee you, that every single parent out there will appreciate and most importantly use every single gift on my list!
