Practical Baby Gift Ideas

| 17 Comments

Each year a new range of brilliant practical baby gifts come to the market for expecting parents and seeing as we are early into 2016 still, I thought I would list some of the popular gift ideas for this year.

So let’s start looking at some of the most creative and most purchased baby gifts for this year. Here they are:

practical baby gift ideas

An organiser for the parents

Every time a newborn comes, people often forget about the parents. There are many things you could buy that will make their life easier and a pretty accordion file and file folders is a brilliant idea. You can personalise it so it includes all important events in the family’s life such as:

  • Keepsakes
  • Birth certificate
  • Nursing and feeding info
  • Doctors’ appointments
  • Health records
  • Parenting articles

There are plenty more great ideas you can think about and personalise as you wish. This is really important for the parents who will start to accumulate an overwhelming amount of important paperwork. They will really appreciate this simple but very useful gift.

Baby Hampers

Customised baby hampers are always popular. Baby Gift Box in Australia allows you to choose from a wide variety of gifts from bibs to toys that can make the perfect gift for an expecting parent and their baby. They offer delivery to many worldwide destinations too.

An easy travel bath

Nowadays, it’s the gifts that make life easier for parents which are the big sellers and can you blame them?! Parenting isn’t easy so whatever helps goes a long way for not only the newborn but the parents. So the easy travel baby bath prevents parents from leaning over the tub awkwardly as its bendy material shape fits to your sink and is really easy to transport!

Nursing shawl

This can allows the mother to feed her baby in public areas but in a discreet fashion, if she wishes. The shawl can also be used to wrap the baby whilst in the mothers arms if it gets a bit cooler.

Baby food blender/steamer/heater

When baby is older, forget about the hassle of cleaning up several pots or dishes just to get one meal ready for him. Instead with the BeabaBabycook Pro, you can have a simple cooking solution that acts as a steamer, blender and heater for the baby’s food. Parents just have to push a single button then return when the time is up. This is a great time saver and can allow the parent to spend more precious time with their baby.

Sleep Sack

The precious little one is promised a cosy night with the sleep sack. You will need no blankets, no toys, nothing! All the baby will need is their sack and it’s the perfect cosy option for the cooler nights. Plus it will give parents peace of mind when their little one is sleeping!

There you have it. Some of the top baby gifts for 2016 and we hope you now have plenty of ideas for that perfect practical baby gift.

  1. There’s some great ideas here and many that I would have preferred when I had my little one, I ended up with so many clothes and teddy bears that I was overwhelmed with what to do with it all. Half the clothes my daughter didn’t even wear which is a shame xx

  3. There are some great ideas here, I usually go for a little toy and then an outfit in a larger size as we all know there are only so many newborn babygrows a baby can wear 🙂
