subject: Magical Baby Gifts For A Magical Time [print this page] Having a new baby is a magical time for everyone, the proud new parents, the new grandparents and also it's a special time for all the family and friends of the new parents. There is something magical about the start of a new life that just makes everyone feel special and full of joy. Everyone wants to celebrate the occasion with the new parents in the best way possible, hopefully by finding baby gifts that signify just how magical and special the occasion is.
The best baby gifts are going to be the ones that the parents will love and hopefully something they will keep as a memento, something that shows care and attention to detail has gone into purchasing it. I mean realistically the baby is not going to know what baby gifts have been bought for them and depending on what gift you buy, you have to consider the fact that it may not even be around by the time the baby can identify who you are and what you bought for them. Hence you want something that will last a long time, mean a lot to all involved and be put away safe as a keepsake for years to come.
So what baby gift can you buy that will be treasured enough by the parents that it is kept forever and brought out at a later date to show the child when they are old enough to understand and that the child will then hopefully want to keep forever as a memento from their childhood.
How about a baby keepsake box, these come in many different shapes, sizes and can be made from many different materials. You can never go far wrong by buying a sterling silver baby gift as this will stand the test of time and still be around in many years to come, usually the keepsake boxes contain numerous separate compartments for the things that will mean a lot to you and your child like 'My Hospital Bracelet', 'My First Curl' and 'My First Tooth', they normally come personalised with the baby's name and the date of their birth. A keepsake box is a wonderful baby gift for keeping all those special baby mementos safe.
Other baby gifts that will be treasured will be anything that has been personalised and show that you have put a lot of thought into what it is you bought - not just picked up the first gift you came across. How about a magical and beautiful glass keepsake, you could have the message Baby Boy or baby girl put on there and maybe even get it personalised further with their name and date of birth. Baby gifts along the same lines would be a polished glass mirror frame, these mirrors have a space for you to insert the baby picture and some even come engraved with poems, if not, again you can always opt to have it personalised with the name. These highly polished glass items are a contemporary and chic gift that they will love - perfect baby gifts.
Alternatively why not look at buying the baby gifts for the new parents, after all everyone is bringing gifts for the new baby it would make a nice change if mum and dad were to get something to celebrate this magical time as well. As above you can pick up some lovely highly polished glass "tokens", I love the new mummy ones you can buy and if she is a first time mum this is something you can guarantee she will treasure forever but whatever you do don't forget dad - he seems to get left out quite a bit at this magical time so why not pick up a gorgeous "I love my dad" picture frame and put a picture in, try to get one of them together, he will really appreciate that!
At the end of the day people aren't expecting baby gifts, all they care about at this point in time is that their new arrival is her safe and well. In all honesty they will probably be too preoccupied for the first few weeks to actually have the time to sit and appreciate all the baby gifts they have been bought!
The ultimate goal is to buy baby gifts that will be kept as a memento for years to come, it means your gift has been so important to the parents, meant so much that they feel the need to keep it and possibly pass it on to their grand children in the future.
