There are only a few weeks left before Christmas, and the shops are already stocking up on holiday merchandise in preparation for early gift shopping and a little pre-Christmas sugar indulgence (how difficult is it to say no to all of those incredible-looking chocolates?). There is also the new baby that has just been born, which is another adorable little creature that becomes difficult to ignore. Despite the fact that they are one of the simplest things to purchase for, they are also one of the most challenging things to purchase for. You may be wondering, “Why?” The problem is that parents end up with about a million baby grows (that don’t fit after a couple of months), far too many rattles and soft toys, and enough silly new-born Christmas outfits to clothe every child in yorkshire! Babies are easy to find generic and obvious gifts for, but the only problem is that parents end up with all of these things! During this year, show a little more consideration by following these guidelines on how to get the most suitable present for a newborn baby… 1) Determine what the parents need. Because the parents already have two bottle sterilisers, there is no use in purchasing a wonderful bottle steriliser for them; it is a waste of a present and a waste of your money either. Obtain information from them in advance and find out what they are lacking and what they might possibly gain from. Keep in mind that a newborn won’t remember what you gift for them, but the parents will for sure. 2) Become self-aware When that small bit of additional effort has been done, your gift will be appreciated much more than it would have been otherwise. It is a wonderful idea to provide personalized presents, such as baby memento boxes, since these boxes may be used throughout the baby’s life and will offer joy to the parents anytime they look at them. 3) Consider in advance if the parents have a variety of newborn clothing and other items. Make preparations in advance and begin purchasing items that they could need in a few months’ hence. Due to the rapid growth of infants, it is advisable to purchase a size larger than what they are currently wearing.
