Is it a little known fact that having too much choice is often more of a hindrance than a help when it comes to choosing a perfect baby gift. There is so much out there from silverware to ceramics and from plush toys to clothing. So, before you start thinking about which item to purchase, you must consider exactly who the recipient is you are purchasing for. The big question really is, "should you choose something specifically for the newborn or a keepsake that mum can store until the child is old enough to appreciate it?"
It is important to be sure when choosing a gift, whether you are choosing it for the mother or the child. Certain items that you can buy are more geared to either the mum or the baby.
A great idea if you're stuck would be a beautiful keepsake box in which mum can store baby's first lock of hair. This is a gift that will be truly cherished especially if mum is a sentimental individual who will relish looking through the little keepsakes years after her child has grown up. It is also a gift choice which can be enjoyed later in the child's life, perhaps when they are considering their own family.
A practical gift is always a wise choice; namely something like a silver birth certificate holder or a ceramic first tooth pot. Silverware and ceramic items can be a little more costly but one can expect a certain level of quality when buying such an item. These types of baby gift are therefore ideal for Christenings, Baptisms and naming ceremonies.
On the other hand, you could choose a little blanket or teddy that the newborn can enjoy straight away. This can be the child's favourite thing; something which you hope he will take everywhere and never be without. There is no doubt that by purchasing such a gift, it will bring back loving memories of your own childhood.
In conclusion, when it comes to choosing the perfect baby gift you must be clear about who you are actually buying for - a keepsake to treasure for mum or a 'can't do without' type gift the baby. Either way, if it's a gift that you have chosen with love, it will be loved by the recipient too.
