Beautiful Gifts To Welcome Them Into The World
New babies bring buckets of happiness but they also bring a whole new world of hard work
. Among the delights and tribulations of becoming a new parent are the trials and tests of having to care for the little bundle of joy 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That means providing the parents with meaningful and useful baby christening gifts is a must, to help them through that settling down period and to show them your support and love.
You don't need to buy expensive baby christening gifts but putting some thought and effort in to what you get is better than grabbing a traditional item such as a silver spoon because it shows the new parents how much you care and also means more.
There are some incredible presents out there from personalised picture frames and embroidered bibs which can say the baby's name, through to special cutlery sets and plates and cups for that weaning-on-to-food period. So, how do you know what is the best gift to get for your friend's new baby? Here are a few ideas on what might do the trick!
Nurturing Gifts
Keepsakes such as money boxes engraved with a short message for the child can be a wonderful present because as the child grows they become more and more relevant. At first a fun, silver plated digger money box can be a thoughtful memento for the mantelpiece, but as the child ages and begins learning about the world it can become an occasional toy and then be somewhere for them to store up their spending money, teaching them valuable lessons about personal finance.
As the child begins to read they can gradually learn to read your message (which was engraved on the money box or silver plated item) and associate the present with you. Although they won't remember when they were christened they will have a constant reminder you care about them in their home and realise that you love them and their parents so much! Even in to adulthood a money box can be a treasured and sentimental belonging. The same is true of many engraved items which are suitable as a christening gift.
If you know that your friends are suffering from sleepless nights taking care of their little cherub then potentially a pamper break or spa experience day for two could be just what the doctor ordered. Pamper and spa breaks can be bought as experience days online with just a few clicks and they come with a number of different treatments such as massages, manicures and facials so you can pick the one that best suits your friends. They are also available at different prices making some affordable and others extravagant and indulgent. Offering to take care of the new baby whilst your relatives or friends get some well earned rest at a health spa could make a beautiful and thoughtful gift!
Another option to rejuvenate new mums and dads are pamper hampers, handmade soap, exfoliating bath scrubs and other aromatic enchantments which could whisk them away to a comfortable place and help them to relax and sleep. It's a misconception that baby christening gifts have to be for the baby, sometimes it's the parents who really earned a break.
Congratulating and Supporting
Being there for the parents is the biggest gift you can give a baby and their mother and father. Lending an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on, offering to baby sit when it's convenient and being supportive, positive and only a telephone call away all makes a big difference to a baby's early development and how happy their parents are directly reflects how happy they are.
It's easy to pick up baby christening gifts for as little as 5, baby books are available from just 3.95 and baby christening gifts such as a photo frame featuring the Christian cross, the words 'baby's christening' and the images of a teddy bear and a rattle cost as little as 4.95 but make a big impression.
Whatever gift you get for the baby or his or her parents you might like to hand it over with a christening card because that gives you the opportunity to give them another keepsake which tells them how proud you are of them, or how excited you are that they have a new bundle of joy. Personalised cards are also cheap, at just 2.99 and you can add the baby's name to the front which is a lovely thing for new parents to see.
