Original birth gift idea: the guide to choose well
Are you looking for an idea for a birth gift? It's a nice way to welcome the newborn and to share this happy event with the parents. And what if, for a change from the classic gifts such as a cuddly toy or pyjamas, you dared to give a more original birth gift? We'll give you some advice on how to choose the right gift, as well as some ideas.
How to choose an original birth gift?
Offering an original birth gift is an excellent idea, which makes it possible to stand out from the other more traditional gifts that the parents and baby will receive. To help you choose the right gift, here are some tips.
Know your parents' tastes
It's a good idea to be original, as long as you know a little about the tastes of the young parents. Don't forget that this gift is above all for them and their baby and that what you like will not necessarily please them. If they are friends or close family, this should be fairly easy. If not, you'll have to do a little investigating to find out how original you can be with your baby gift!
Use your imagination
If you want to give an original birth gift, forget about the baby accessories that everyone thinks of, such as bibs, nappies and cuddly toys. Parents are likely to receive a lot of these, so use your imagination and creativity to find the original gift that will hit the spot!
Think about personalised gifts
What could be more original than personalising a baby gift to make it unique? Personalised items are very trendy and generally very popular with young parents. Embroidering the baby's name on a blanket, bathrobe or even a sleeping bag will turn a classic gift into an original birth gift!
Give a handmade baby gift
If you are a fan of DIY, why not try making the baby gift yourself? It's a wonderful way to create an original and unique birth gift from scratch! Whether it's a dummy clip, teething ring, crochet booties or a mobile, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to bringing your creativity to life with this handmade gift.
Ideas for original birth gifts
To help you find the perfect gift to celebrate the birth of a child, here are some ideas for original birth gifts.
- Milestone cards: these illustrated cards trace the major stages of baby's first year. A great way to keep memories alive!
- The footprint frame : very original, this gift allows you to make an imprint of the baby's foot or hand using a kit. The frame can then be placed on a piece of furniture to decorate the house.
- A music box: poetic and timeless, the music box is an original birth gift that appeals to young and old alike.
- A nightlight: it's not necessarily the first gift you think of, but it is often a great success. Reassuring and comforting for the baby, it will also enhance the decoration of the room.
- A zero waste care box: if the young parents are on a zero waste diet, why not give them a small personalised box? With washable wipes, a small bamboo hairbrush, a natural solid soap or a baby care oil.
- A bola cuddly toy : If the mother has worn a bola during her pregnancy, this gift is absolutely perfect. She can slip her bola into the specially designed cuddly toy, allowing the baby to hear the same familiar sound as when she was in her mother's arms.
