How to choose for new parents
- Check the registry first, then pick an unclaimed item or an extra of something used up quickly.
- Choose swaddles and receiving blankets in soft, washable fabrics, since several can get used in one day.
- Pick a play mat or gym that folds or stores flat if they live in a smaller home.
- Stick to neutral colours and patterns unless the parents have shared a nursery theme.
Usually safe to skip
- Large gear bought off-registry, which often duplicates something already chosen.
- Toys meant for older kids that sit unused for a year or more.
- Baby mobiles or decor that clash with a nursery already set up.
Questions people ask about gifts for new parents
- What should I buy for a baby shower if the registry is done?
- Go for items families need several of, such as swaddling blankets or pacifiers and teethers. A small baby gift set is also easy to use without duplicating bigger gear.
- Is a baby monitor a good gift for new parents?
- It can be, but only if they don't already have one. Ask first or include a gift receipt, since monitors are a common registry item that often gets bought early.
- When will a baby use a play mat?
- Many babies start enjoying a play mat or gym within the first couple of months, and plenty of families keep using one well into the first year for floor play.
