9 Best Gift Ideas For New Parents And Baby This Holiday Season

Buying gifts can be a stressful event. Why not take the guesswork out of your holiday shopping but trying one of these tried and tested products? Below are nine unique gift ideas to give to new parents (and their baby) for Christmas 2019.

Reclining Seat

This is one gift that will take a long time to outgrow. Nuna’s LEAF Grow ($289) is made for newborns, toddlers, and big kids with its adjustable recline that allows for long-term use. The smooth, gentle sway (which lasts for over two minutes without assistance) is made to go up and down and “everywhere in between.” The tech-free product is available in three colors and contains an organic infant insert and a 3-point harness, both of which are removable. A toy bar with plush toys is also included.

Memory Book

Sometimes kids say funny things and now parents never have to forget their comical little quips. Write To Me’s Funny Things My Kids Say ($24.95) book provides a place to record kids' most memorable sayings that are sure to be enjoyed for years to come. The book comes with a linen cover, a gold embossed title and spin, and a total of 96 wood-free pages.

High Chair

Baby products are not always attractive. This is something new parents don’t have to worry about when selecting Abiie’s Beyond Junior Y Chair ($194). These modern high chairs are sleek in design, each featuring either mahogany and natural wood colors crafted from European beech wood. Five cushion color options are available to help better match decor as this product is designed to grow with children into adulthood thanks to its EZ-Seat technology. Even better? Chair adjustments to this eco-friendly design can be made in under 20 seconds.

Convertible Car Seat

If you want to gift a car seat that will last for the long haul, look no further than the Nuna RAVA ($449). This car seat is convertible, meaning it will grow with the child. Not to mention, it offers a ton of specialized extras, including laid back legroom, fuss-free adjustments, and dual flip-open cup holders, to name a few.

Big Ticket Toy

It’s never too early to gift parents quality toys for their kids (especially when there are older siblings you’re also looking to give a gift to). The Kullerbu Parking Garage ($119) will provide endless hours of entertainment for little ones 3 years and up. Whether they want to speed a Kullerbu car down an access ramp, put it through the set’s car wash, park it in the garage or use its lift before getting it repaired in the shop, the imaginative play opportunities are endless.

Mystery Toys

Mystery toys and collectibles are all rage right now, so why not let young ones get in on the fun? Learning Resources has released Counting Surprise Party ($19.99), a toy that lets little ones count, sort, and match presents, all 10 of which feature a surprise toy inside. This gift is not only fun for those 3 and up, but it also helps build fine motor and recognition skills.

Jogging Stroller

New parents need a lot of equipment, and that includes a trusty jogging stroller. Delta Children’s Jeep Deluxe Open Trails Jogger ($169) includes all the necessities for kids, such as an SPF 50+ sun visor, a padded seat, and adjustable recline. Parents will appreciate its locking front wheel, foam handlebar, safety wrist strap, and “Parent Tray” for drinks and smartphone storage. Three color options are available.

Baby Swaddles

Swaddles are must-haves for all new parents, so why not give them a few extra this holiday season? Amazing Baby has a large variety of soft essentials available. The versatile Muslin Swaddle Blankets set ($29.99) comes with four premium cotton blankets that are good for swaddling, tummy time, nursing privacy, and more. The brand’s Omni Swaddle Sack ($24.99) also offers a premium swaddling experience.

Sleep Training Guide

Sleep is priceless to new parents, and Dream Lab can help achieve it. This video sleep course ($179) uses sleep and habits assessment to help teach parents how to train their babies (aged 4-12 months) to sleep through the night. The course also includes video tutorials, a personalized sleep plan, a customizable goal schedule, and twice-weekly “Ask the Experts” sessions.
