Useful Baby Gifts for Parents

Useful Baby Gifts for Parents - Caring for a new baby is one of the most joyous and challenging times in a parent’s life, especially if we are talking about a couple expecting their first born. For them it is easy to feel anxious, nervous, and unsure. First-time parents often need a lot of handholding. Getting ready for the arrival of their little bundle of joy may be confusing, and expensive, unless family and friends bring them useful and practical gifts. In that case, the “old faithful” gifts may indeed be the best way to help out.

Not to make any embarrassing or useless purchases, the best thing one can do is ask the new parents flat-out what baby accessories they already have, what kind of gifts they prefer, how the baby’s room is organized, what colours and patterns they favor, and if they know what the baby’s gender will be.

Clothes are one of the most bought gifts. When buying tees, sleepwear, body suits, rompers and tights, jackets, socks and booties, it is always better to buy them a few sizes ahead of time. The baby will grow into them, and mum and dad don’t get stuck with a bag full of newborn pieces. If the couple plans more children, pick a more neutral colour, with a less busy pattern. Remember, unisex clothing can be re-used. And talking about second hand options: not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, so do not hesitate to ask your relatives or friends, if they would appreciate some gently used clothes. Most of the time, the answer will be: yes!

Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing.
