5 Thoughtful Gifts For Brand New Parents

Scott · July 26, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Finding the perfect gift for new parents can be tricky. You want to buy them something, but you also know they are being bombarded with baby gear. So, what do brand new parents actually want?

By putting yourself in their shoes, you can select a gift that will brighten their day and curb their strain for the moment. The following are some gift ideas that are both thoughtful and practical. Your friends or loved ones will be grateful for the gesture — and actually use the gift. 

  • Spa treatments

Sometimes new parents just need a break. Caring for an infant all day and night can be hard on the body, and your friends are likely not taking time for themselves. A gift certificate to a local spa can be the perfect invitation to treat themselves. Gift certificates also don’t expire, so they can wait until they are ready to use it. You might consider offering free babysitting services as well. They may be more likely to take an afternoon for themselves when they have someone to leave the baby with.

  • Photo keepsakes

While new parents want to document the first moments of their child’s life, they might be too busy to do so. You can help out by ordering canvas prints online or putting together a photo book. If you want to go the extra mile, you can even hire a professional photographer to take family photos of your friends and the baby. Your friends will be thrilled to hang these special memories in their home and cherish the photos for life. 

  • Help with housework

When you have a baby to care for, chores like dishes and laundry can easily pile up. Give your friends some relief by hiring a professional cleaning service for them. Having someone come over every other week for the first few months can provide much-needed relief for these stressed-out parents. They will feel more at ease in their clean home and can spend more of their time focusing on the baby.

  • Gift baskets

You don’t always need to splurge on one big gift for the new parents in your life. Often, several smaller gifts can provide a bit of indulgence and make your friends smile. Pick up some wine from the liquor store, throw in some cozy slippers, and bake your friend’s favorite dessert. Items like fun magazines, a cute mug, and a loving note can also be great additions. While your friend is focusing on the baby for most of the day, they will appreciate some novelty.

  • Subscription services

These types of services are all about convenience, which can be perfect for new parents. Subscriptions for meal deliveries, movies, and even clothes can be helpful. You can even sign them up for Amazon Prime or another similar service to save them time and money while getting used to their newborn. This gift allows them to focus on both the essentials and leisure time in their life. And if you aren’t sure which subscription they would life, don’t hesitate to ask. They will likely appreciate your considering their preferences when buying a gift. 

While new parenthood is full of love and joy, it’s also overwhelming. This is why it’s important to buy gifts that will reduce rather than increase feelings of stress. You know your friend or loved one well, so consider which aspects of their life might be set aside during this time. Whether you provide home cooked meals or a gift card for a massage, they will surely appreciate your thoughtfulness during this significant milestone in their lives.
