Gifts for new parents
New parents are busy and short on sleep, and a lot of what they get is for the baby. A gift that is for them can feel like a rare treat. Think about what would make their day a little easier or softer.
Comfort and convenience are good places to start. A warm robe, a big water bottle and something to keep a drink hot all help when both hands are full. Look for things that need no setup and can be used one handed.
A few baby items are welcome too, as long as they are useful and not a pile of clutter. Soft muslin cloths and a sturdy board book get used every day. Check the store's page for the final price and shipping before you buy.
