Gender neutral newborn baby gift ideas

Welcoming a new baby is both an exciting and a daunting event, especially if you are the kind of person who enjoys playing with babies but has very limited knowledge about their needs.

Most of the time, you tend to panic. For instance, when receiving an invitation to attend a baby shower and when choosing a gift for the baby.

Choosing a newborn baby gift is really a hard task especially if you do not have any exposure in a parenting and motherhood environment.

Let’s add gender to the equation. While some mothers prefer gender-based baby gifts, there also some that would rather receive gifts that are gender-neutral.

We have chosen some of our favourite fun and practical gender-neutral gifts to give to a newborn baby. Read through the list so by the time you get to be in the same situation, you already have an idea in mind on what to purchase.


I. ESSENTIALS

Set of Skincare – to help take care of the baby’s delicate and sensitive skin.

A tip is to consult the mother or a professional in order to choose the right product match to the baby’s skin condition.

Set of Bath Items and Toiletries – everyone deserves to feel relaxed and soothed. Even a baby! Grab a gift set like this and be part of mother and baby intimate bonding moments everyday.

Diapers – it helps make the baby feel secure. This is a small gesture in helping a mom keep her baby dry and refreshed. Cause who wants a baby that is feeling uneasy, anyway?

Bibs and Small Towels – a set of light-colored bibs and small towels to help keep the mess away. Bibs are must-haves that can never be too many to own and too many to keep. Mothers love bibs as much as the babies do!


II. MILK AND BOTTLE ACCESSORIES

Drying Rack – a cute and colorful drying rack to help keep bottles dry and prevent from spreading germs and possible contamination.

Bottle Warmer – choosing a handy baby accessory as a gift is truly a great choice. It is a huge help to mothers, especially those who choose to breastfeed their babies during their first year.


III. HOME ESSENTIALS AND DECORATIONS
White Noise Machine – a great addition to home essentials that could greatly help babies, as well as moms, maintain a good night sleep. This is one great newborn baby gift idea because it is reusable and portable.

Rotating Night Lamp – in addition to the white noise machine, this is also one item that could affect how a baby (and a mom) sleep the night away. 

And not only that! It could also serve as a decoration during baby events and parties.

Baby Art Print – to serve as a reminder for the mother’s thoughtful and unconditional love for her baby.

IV. TOYS

Soft Small Rattle – another good newborn gift idea to keep the baby busy listening to its soothing noise. This is a great start to boost a baby’s sensory development.

– this is also a good pick because it can serve a lot of benefits to the baby’s development and milestones. Most mothers play with their babies using music as one way to show and encourage interaction. Music is also one way to set the mood of the baby (and the mom as well!).

When you want to prepare gifts in an earlier time before the mother’s delivery, this list of gender-neutral gifts is your go-to.

A way to make new moms feel special and appreciated is by giving gifts. But always remember what the best part of giving a gift to a new mom and the baby is.

For some, it is the feeling that you get when you see them using your gift. Others say its the thought that you somehow contribute to a baby’s development and milestones.

Whatever it is, keep in mind that in your little but thoughtful ways, you made a mom’s life a bit easier and joyful. And that’s what matters most.
