When a newborn baby makes its arrival into the world, there are so many things that are needed. It can be mind boggling just how much this tiny person can need in its day to day existence. This is one of the reasons we have such things as baby showers. The parents of a newborn need all the help they can get! It really is not hard to come up with a newborn gift idea as just about anything you see in the newborn baby section of a store will qualify.
However, if you ARE having some problems deciding just what to get for the new baby, think in terms of bulk. One thing that a newborn goes through astonishingly fast is diapers. Find out if the parents are going to prefer disposables or cloth diapers. If they are using disposable diapers, a very thoughtful and generous gift is a huge supply of them. Any new parents who are trying to use cloth diapers will absolutely love you if you get them a subscription to a diaper service for three to six months.
Another newborn gift idea is lots of crib sheets and matching blankets. These can be coupled with mattress pads to protect the sheets from wetness. Depending on how much money you want to spend, you can choose a matching set of sheets and blankets, along with a diaper stacker for the crib. Don't forget to fill the diaper stacker with either disposable or cloth diapers.
If this newborn is someone who will be very close and special to you personally, and you can afford it, here is a much appreciated newborn gift idea. All new parents need a baby stroller. Now you might want to check with the parents and see if they have a preference. But once you have purchased it, go about filling it with some of the other items mentioned here. The same can be done with a bassinet.
If you really can't afford something expensive, there is still a newborn gift idea for you. Gift baskets can be purchased quite cheaply and filled with smaller needs of the newborn baby. You can decorate the basket in either pink, blue, yellow or green ribbons. Line the basket with small layette blankets. Purchase small things like pacifiers, baby bottle nipples, safe crib toys, booties and a small stuffed animal or two. All of these things you can find at a dollar store. Include a self printed booklet of coupons for babysitting too. The new parents will adore you for this because even though they will cherish their new little bundle of joy, they will also need a break once in awhile.
The main thing to remember is that whatever newborn gift idea you use, it will be appreciated and used. So consider your budget and the needs of the new parents, then take yourself shopping.
