2020 Gift Guide - Great Gifts for Expecting Parents
Today we are sharing some awesome gifts for expecting/new parents. This guide works perfectly for the holiday season or for expecting friends/family that might not have a registry set up. For many of the gifts below we wanted to suggest gifts that help them celebrate their growing fam AND take care of themselves!
The Birth Poster - The Birth Poster is a series of illustrations that remind you of how small your baby was at birth. The timeless artwork is scaled to the actual length of the baby at birth. They print your baby’s birth details – name, length, weight, and birthday. The Birth Poster is the original 1:1 scale Birth Poster founded in Sweden in 2013.
Bumpin Blends - We love Lisa, the founder of Bumpin' Blends. She’s a registered dietician and mompreneur. Check out these pre-blended, frozen cubes, each blend portioned make a 16-oz smoothie (or two 8-oz smoothies!), designed with your specific needs in mind. Your gift recipient will also have 24/7 access to a dietician and each blend will arrive in eco-friendly packaging.
Welcome to the Club: 100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming - From the comedian behind the popular parenting blog The Ugly Volvo comes a refreshing spin on the baby milestone book. Instead of a place to lovingly capture the first time baby sleeps through the night, this book shows what it's like the first time baby rolls off the bed/sofa/changing table, leaving mom or dad in a state of pure terror (it happens).
Hungryroot - When new parents are occupied with feeding their new bundles of joy they often forget about their own nutrition which is why we love the idea of gifting a meal subscription like this. Each week, based on their preferences, they send you groceries and recipes they’ll love.
Letter Board - These are all the rage in hospital/newborn announcement pics and are super useful for instagrammable shots for each month leading up to a year and beyond. We love this felt letter board and use it for signage at pop up events.
Girl Dad Hoodie - I just bought this cute hoodie sweatshirt for my husband to commemorate our second daughter! It’s comfy, super-soft fleece is designed for warmth and breathability. Love it!!!
Stemless Wine Tumblers with Lid and Straw - Every parent needs… a drink. Alcoholic or not, they need a chance to sit and relax with a cold bevy and these tumblers are awesome for exactly that. They’re insulated and stainless steel so you don’t have to worry about babies knocking them out of your hands.
Dads Fanny - We had the privilege of learning more about Brad, the founder of DadsFanny, and love the idea behind the simplified carrying case thats perfect for new dads or parents. It’s small, chick, slim and fits what you need in a minimalist carry pouch.
Mama Camo Jacket - This new version of the iconic Mama jacket is the perfect way to celebrate new mom status. Think pregnancy announcement outfit, or a great welcome gift for a new mama. Toss it on with a pair of leggings, an airy dress, or a jumpsuit for an easy-peasy mom-friendly style.
Jimmy Fallon's MAMA and DADA Boxed Set - Jimmy Fallon's two #1 New York Times bestselling books, Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada and Everything Is Mama, are available together in an adorable boxed set. A perfect gift for new parents!
Care/of Personalized Vitamins - Send a gift card for personalized daily vitamins, and add your own special touch. You send a gift card, and your friend/family will come to Care/of to redeem it. They'll take the quiz to get a recommendation for what vitamins to take, and get a month's supply of daily packs.
Picture Genetics Testing Kits for Parents & Newborns - Knowledge is power. Give the gift of clear results and peace of mind as they start a new chapter in their lives. Because when you’re preparing to become a parent, you can never have too many answers.
Herbivore - Natural Cloud Nine 5-Piece Favorites - Love the idea of gifting this and including a note that says ‘a must have for your hospital bag’. It’s a gorgeous clean beauty brand and a heck of a deal.
MiniMeis Child Carrier - Two Norwegian dads created MiniMeis to make it fun, easy and safe to go on adventures with children ages 6mos to 5 years. The MiniMeis carrier gives kids a perfect view of the world, from the safety of your shoulders.
Happy shopping!
