A baby gift basket

This is a great classic that is always very much appreciated: the baby gift basket. It can be composed of various essential items for baby such as diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, baby clothes, teething toys, and many other things! This gift basket is perfect for small budgets and allows you to completely personalize its contents according to the parents' preferences, for example.

A voucher for a massage or spa treatment

If you want to offer parents a final moment of relaxation together before the big change that is the birth of their child, you can opt for a massage or spa voucher. Before childbirth, you'll need to choose a massage suitable for pregnant women for the mother. You can also offer this gift after childbirth, giving parents the opportunity to treat themselves to a relaxing break.

Baby furniture

Furniture often represents a significant expense for young parents, making it a wonderful gift to celebrate baby's arrival. One option is to choose a wooden baby cot. We recommend opting for a solid wood baby cot, preferably PEFC certified, meaning it comes from eco-managed forests. Regarding the wooden baby cot design, you can choose a convertible wooden bed, a classic wooden baby cot with bars, or a combination baby cot. If in doubt, it might be better to discuss with the parents about which type of wooden baby cot they prefer.

You can also prioritize a made in France wooden baby cot that complies with current French standards and is therefore even safer. Finally, we recommend choosing a wooden baby cot with low formaldehyde materials to limit the presence of volatile organic compounds and preserve baby's well-being.

The wooden baby cot is a good idea since parents won't need it right away. Indeed, baby will sleep in co-sleeping or in a cradle until about 6 months old before using their wooden baby cot. To complement the wooden baby cot, you can also opt for other furniture such as a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, or a changing table for example (more advice on setting up a baby's room).

Books about parenting

For readers and those who like to expand their knowledge, parenting books make wonderful gifts and are suitable for smaller budgets. There are well-thought-out books with tips and practical advice for all ages, which will provide parents with even more support during this new adventure. To make the right choices, you can do your own research or simply turn to the best-selling and highest-rated books in the field.

A gift voucher for a professional photographer

To immortalize their new family life, parents will appreciate being offered a photo session with a professional photographer. It's an excellent way to get lovely memories, as well as beautiful images for their birth announcement for example. There are photographers who receive parents and baby in their studio, but also professionals who travel to your home.

A parent/baby activity

An activity between one or both parents and baby is a beautiful opportunity to bond and live a unique experience. There are now many opportunities to make new discoveries with your baby such as parent/baby yoga classes, baby massage classes, etc. You'll need to research the activities available in your area, as well as the age from which it's possible to access them.

A babysitting voucher

Finally, you can also simply offer some of your time to young parents by offering to look after baby for a day or evening. This will allow them to go out and spend time together. While it costs nothing, there's no doubt this gift will be greatly appreciated by the parents.

Homemade meals

During the first weeks or even months of baby's life, it can be difficult for parents to find their rhythm, which affects many daily activities such as meal preparation. Offering homemade meals to young parents will allow them to save time while enjoying themselves and taking care of their well-being.
