It’s not easy to find good baby girl gifts, but then again it’s not rocket science. You can crib bathe her in the crutch of a towel, but it doesn’t mean she’s going to match your relative’s options. Blended families are not the same, and neither is finding the right gift.
A hand-me-down crib might be the wave of the future. Some parents have used the heirloom cribs passed down from one generation to the next. These will have been sturdy, made to stand up to quality abuse, and the paint and finish will be obedient to whatever upkeep the parents have provided.
The sleek modern lines of the mini cribs are a bit rough on these beds, but they have convenience fo feelings. You have to apply, and while you might be hesitant to, the crib will have to be repainted every few years. This means the parents won’t need to spend a lot of money getting the right girls first.
The convertible cribs may not be the best choice for parents with young children, but they’re surprisingly affordable. If you already have the money to spend, those are great investments for those leftover diapers and a toddler that deciding what’s “in” or “out” at this point, even though you’ll only be able to use it for a couple years.
Dolls and teddy bears are classic gifts, and they are going to become even more classic with the current trends. When you find a classic style, it doesn’t matter what anyone else is buying. Everyone will appreciate it.
For those of us who still have to work, it’s important to pick up the items our children need, but who also need the cash to buy them. This means early readers get stuffed animals and books. Those who love to read also love stuffed animals. Here are some ideas for those of you with a toddler or young child with plenty of non-cute in their hands:
– Fantastic fours are always cute. These usually come in pastel colors or light fabrics with trimmed bottoms, sometimes even with dials and squeaky wheel. Pick the softest possible, and those soft pillows also tend to be of the waterproof kind.
– Villed is appropriate for babies because they can’t sit up or move around. They stay confined to the sloppy sheets and large comforters.
– Cribs made of organic cotton can be a good value at this tender age, and they will probably last for years. Beware of those made of polyester, however, which can be too abrasive for these sensitive babies, causing easy red spots and irritation.
– Think organic. Organic baby bedding and comforters on terry are luxurious and will be good-smelling. They will be easy to clean if a spot soaks up some of the natural oils on mom or dad’s skin.
– NurseryWire and crib bumpers are the most common of the baby things that are in the way. While they are convenient, they are unattractive and can scrape the baby while she lies down. Organic ones can be more affordable, but have to be properly cleaned and sterilized.
– Clothes for newborns and a few summer wear for the older children are lady-like for nature, and fun to put on and take off. For those babies who are not comfortable in clothes, throw a smock over the limbs, and make it fun!
It is always rewarding to find a string of gifts that you think you are going to love. All the gifts have a special place in your family history, and yours. These are the presents that come in handy from first Christmas to the last. They are the essentials of love.
Good luck putting your gifts together and making them appear on your Christmas list as soon as possible!
