Welcoming a new baby into the world can be an exciting time, even with all the adjustments it comes with! It can mean a lot to new parents to receive something special from the people in their lives, whether it’s something for the baby…or something for when baby goes to bed!
Picking the right gift however can be a challenge - you want something unique, but not something that will be seen as clutter or of little use. New parents look for functional, practical gifts that can add to their new normal. Or they might benefit from something that offers them a little bit of “me time” at the end of a tough day.
In any case, we’ve collated a list of 8 of our top brands that will be the highlight of any baby shower.
#1 - Magnetic Me
Let’s start with something practical and game changing for new parents - super easy baby clothes. When a new mom or dad is waking up at all hours of the night to feed and change their new tot, the last thing they want to do is fumble with button poppers or zippers to try and get baby dressed again. That’s where Magnetic Me can come and save the day. Their baby and kids clothes use innovative magnetic fasteners to make dressing little ones easy and fast, no matter the time of night or how wriggly they are. They come in a range of sizes, and stylish, seasonal prints and patterns.
Any of Magnetic Me’s range makes the ideal gift for a new parent if you want to get something practical and cute for the baby. They also sell personalizable gift cards if you want to allow mom or dad to pick out their favorite pattern.
