Five Thoughtful Gifts for Expecting New Parents

Finding out they have a baby on the way is one of the most exciting times for any couple. It’s a time worth celebrating, and a perfect occasion to give a gift. They’ll likely receive their fair share of diapers, so consider getting them something a bit more thoughtful and special instead. If you want to take a decorative approach and help them complete the new nursery or provide comforting items for once the baby arrives, here are a few fantastic gift options.

Keepsake Box

In a young child's life, nearly every day presents a new "first" worth celebrating. Whether it's their first crawl or first steps, first tooth, or first words, many of these firsts can come with a physical keepsake to save. Rather than tossing that tooth, lock of hair, or photograph, or losing track of it, with a keepsake box, the new parents can keep items safe and sound in the nursery. Seek out a keepsake box with a decorative touch that will look nice displayed on a side table or fireplace mantel. Also consider one with a touching sentiment or message that will lift their spirits.

Figurative Sculpture

Sculptural figurines like the ones from the Willow Tree® collection are hand-painted art pieces that can thoughtfully decorate any nursery. Artist Susan Lordi has a distinctive style in that she forgoes facial expressions in her pieces and allows their subtle body positioning and posture to tell the story. She creates figures depicting a variety of relationships and sentiments, and her baby- and family-themed ones are among her most touching. If you want a gift that will light up their eyes when they see it, telling a big story through small details, a figurative sculpture from the Willow Tree® collection is an excellent choice.

Decorative Swaddle

Swaddling is an art that new parents will quickly learn. While they're getting the hang of this baby-burrito technique, they'll appreciate the decorative swaddle you got them. Look for an uplifting swaddle with a touching sentiment that celebrates the magical experience of having a baby. Also, make sure that it's made of a high-quality material like cotton muslin so it will hold up through multiple washes while still being just as soft. Some of the best swaddles are even designed to be used as adorable photo backdrops.

Sonogram Frame

The first time that expecting parents get to see their child is through the sonogram. The first images of the baby inside mom’s womb are so precious. First-time parents likely make as many copies of the image as possible. Picture frames with a sentimental design or message are among the best sister gifts if you have a family member who is expecting, and a dedicated sonogram frame will light up the expecting couple and warm their hearts.

Plush Animal

As new parents will soon come to learn, a baby can never have too many toys and plush animals. Even if they have an entire toy box full of them, sometimes that one extra plush animal could be a lifesaver for them during restless nights. If you know the gender of the baby, you can take a gender-specific route with your gift, but these days there are also plenty of gender-neutral options available that are equally as adorable.
