When someone has a baby it is nice to be able to buy them new gifts. It may be that you go out and buy an outfit or perhaps you opt for a teddy or a toy. Sometimes it is a good idea to ask the new mum what it is she needs as it may be that she has lots of clothes but doesn’t have a baby bath or needs more bibs or bottles. These sorts of gifts may be more useful and can still be presented in a really nice way.
Sometimes it is nice to buy the new mum a gift too as often she may need some pampering and to feel looked after. It may be that you book her in for a massage or take her out for lunch – giving her the time to relax and enjoy some company.
If you are going to buy clothing for the baby, then again ask what sizes they need. Often everyone buys newborn clothing which the baby may outgrow very quickly. If you buy the next size or two up it means that they have clothing for the next few months. Gift vouchers are also a nice idea for a gift as the parents can then decide what they need and choose it themselves.
