It is not by any means rude to buy used baby furniture and clean it up for reuse as these first few years pass quickly and then the truly expensive years begin.

Used baby furniture, car seats, strollers, high chairs and even clothes do make good and appreciated gifts. Internet auctions are a fairly safe way to buy gently used items.  Matching nursery room furniture is another reason to use gift registries if only to be sure that the white crib matches the white chest and changing table. But careful used shoppers can come up with matched items as well.

A nursing mom or just one who needs to bottle feed in comfort will appreciate a large rocking chair or glider and ottoman set. These often stay in the family for years so paying slightly more for the $140 to $600 chair may be a prudent and lasting investment. The chest of drawers in four- or five- drawer variations should be another piece of keeper furniture. So consider this another longer term investment at around $130.  This essential piece will be holding socks and t-shirts well into the high school years.

But the same items found at a consignment shop or warehouse outlet may be in nearly new condition at  as little as a quarter of the new price. Almost any baby needs can be found at prime outlets as well which will still be substantially priced but much less than department stores charge. Scouring the classified ads will often yield a gold mine as people with better items may want to keep the commission that the consignment store wants.

Sometimes going out of business sales at furniture stores can be found in an economy that has seen better days. This requires a bit of a waiting game as the consumer checks back frequently to keep tabs on supply levels versus discounts offered. But a pregnancy lasts nine months and the shrewd consumer may be able to garner huge savings on scratch and dent furniture during that time. The baby will probably never even realize that his mattress is a weird color or a leg of the crib is skinned.

Making the gift dollar go farther will not reduce the amount spent on the new baby after all. A young couple still struggling with the 20% of the hospital bill that the HMO didn’t cover will need the extra purchasing power. The franchise consignment shops may even offer gift certificates so that the thrifty family still has good selection and a nice shopping experience.

There’s nothing wrong with climbing up into the attic and bringing out vintage items for family members. A little character may become a cherished memory when grandpa’s baby shoes are briefly worn and them bronzed. Sister’s christening gown may have yet another generation of significant life events left in it as well.

Never underestimate the value of old money when thinking vintage gifting however! There is perhaps no other thing that you’ve been squirreling away that will be of better use to the new parents.

Traditionally the big baby gift items come from distant relationships who may have money to retire in a better climate and still want to send something to the baby shower.

That’s when having made an effort to use several baby gift registries really comes in handy. Typically, the names of the stores with whom the new mom has registered should be included on the bottom of a baby shower invitation. Don’t be shy about listing the exact items that you want or need since no one wants a new mom to drive around town returning unwanted items.

The internet sites of major retailers are really the most convenient places for such purchasing and finding the registered baby needs dream list is much easier than finding a store clerk.

The larger ticket purchasing is usually the most needed and harder to afford so they make perfect gifts from relatives who would love to attend the shower but can’t. Every picture of the new family in front of these purchases will reassure the distant loved ones that they made a much loved choice.

These big ticket items can include furniture, travel systems or costlier toys. Many of these internet purchases can be made at budget friendly sale or clearance pricing. Some retailers offer free shipping on items over $25 or $50.

Travel systems including stroller and car seat/carrier range from about $140 to over $400. The travel sets are a reasonable price since an umbrella stroller may only run about $50 but the best strollers on the market may cost nearly $400.

Meanwhile a good infant car seat alone may cost between $60 to $250  but the temptation to buy a booster seat for much less does occur to the gift purchaser. This can encourage newbie parents to try to use a booster for a new baby which can be a dangerous disaster.

Make sure that the couple has their car seat completely installed in their primary vehicle before the birth. Most hospitals won’t release an infant until they see the car seat.

Matching baby furniture in quality pine or premium oak and of good construction will help organize and beautify the life of all concerned.

One manufacturer offers a convertible crib that grows with the baby from bassinet to toddler bed and even full sized headboard and foot board yet it is still well within most budgets at around $200. The mattresses are sold separately and may add another $25 to well over $100. Bassinets are still the preferred option when baby first comes home and a well designed one may cost $140 to $175.

A changing table won’t need to cost more than one- to two- hundred dollars although a better version can cost much more. Just remember that these will be used for less than two years and will then be put into storage for the next child or sold to another family.

Try to keep in mind things like military status that may require a young family to leave cumbersome furniture. Everyone’s situation is different.

If buying a bunch of baby gifts feels out of range for you right now or you want to make something special for the baby consider a homemade gift.  Working with your hands to craft a simple project with love and care can be one of the best ways of showing support for the new baby.  Plus, there are tons of things you can make that the parents will find useful in caring for baby.

While many are going to purchase various nappy bags, strollers, baby seats and carriers and even blankets for the baby gifts, you can always fill in with other homemade gifts.

Baby Clothing and other Cloth Gifts

Sewing is a past time continued by many as a hobby.  If you want to learn how to sew or are already a sewer, then consider making some baby clothing, towels, nappies, hats, coats, socks, pillows, and even a baby sling or two.  There are tons of cloth items that babies need which can also be handmade.  Choose your gifts depending on your skill level as a sewer.  Simple towels, pillows, and nappies are good for basic sewers.  Hats, socks and simple clothing for intermediate and complicated projects such as coats, baby quilts and slings for the experienced sewer.

Toys and Wooden or Carpentry Related Ideas

If you are decent with a hammer or a saw there are plenty of hand made baby gifts to make.  Just be careful when making these gifts that they aren’t pointed, sharp or have small removable parts.

It’s best to stick with basic projects when it comes to carpentry.  This saves time and increases the likelihood that it will turn out well.

Handmade baby blocks are a great idea for baby gifts.  You can also create a mobile for the crib, wooden push-a-long and pull-a-long toys are not only fun but cute and unique.  Look around at the stores you can almost always find something that can be replicated as a handmade toy that will delight the parents to be.

Baby Gifts Baskets

You can also put together a baby gift basket.  There are tons of ideas on the internet.  This is a good way of creating a beautiful handmade gift, that’s only going to cost you half the price because you’ll purchase the materials on your own.

Most gift baskets follow a theme.  You’ll see blue baskets with items for boys and pink baskets with items for girls.  There are also bath time baskets, sleepy time baskets, even diaper basket with the barest essentials.  Pick a theme that you like and start gathering items to fit.  For instance, a bath time basket can come with baby shampoo, rubber ducky, baby towels, baby lotion, layette and baby powder.  Most of these items can be picked up at the grocery store and you can find gift baskets, ribbon and plastic at dollar stores or craft stores.

Handmade baby gifts can be fun, practical and loving examples of how much you care.  Just look around and you’ll find there are plenty of baby needs that can be turned into homemade crafts.

Most party guests would feel weird showing up at a party with a bag of nappies in hand, but the baby shower guests have nothing to feel odd about.  Nappy’s and other essential hygiene products do make excellent baby gifts.  Plus, parents will soon find out just how many nappies they will really need.  Scary stories of emergency midnight nappy runs are not exaggerated at all.

Little Prince Nappy Cake

Early on a newborn can use an incredible number of nappies, up to 8 or 9 a day.  Liquid foods go straight through them, and you’ll learn that they need to feed almost as frequently too.  As the baby gets older it will need fewer changes, dwindling down to 3 or 4 a day until he or she is potty trained.

New parents won’t be fully prepared for how many nappy changes they’ll need to make each day, but will certainly appreciate all those nappies they got as baby gifts. When shopping for nappies consider that they also come in different sizes for different age groups.  A variety of sizes works or you can just stick with the newborn nappies.  Certainly, you’ll want to pick up more newborn nappies than other varieties, because that’s simply what the baby will use the most.

Nappy changes also mean that parents will need to clean a wet bum.  This means you can also pick up baby powder, baby wipes and nappy rash ointment as baby gifts.  These items aren’t expensive, but they tend to be forgotten the most frequently during runs to the store.

Baby powder helps reduce moisture and the risk of a nappy rash.  Baby wipes clean the baby during a nappy change.  Ointment to treat any nappy rash that actually occurs.  Most nappies these days are so effective at absorbing wetness that the chances of nappy rash occurring in a regularly changed baby are low.  So, you don’t need to buy a lot of ointments for baby gifts.

Babies also need to be washed and even have their mouths cleaned by parents.  So, feel free to pick up baby shampoo, absorbent and soft cloths, and baby towel complete with hood.  Baby towels are cute and they really help to keep the baby warm after a bath.

A new baby has come into the lives of your friend or family member and you’ve been invited to the party.  Great, now you just have to figure out what to bring to that party!  Everyone will probably bring the most obvious items; baby gift baskets, clothing, toys and diapers and hygienic items.  These are all good gifts too.  After all, a baby will go through a surprising number of nappies in its young life.

If you want to be memorable or do something special for your friends though, it’s time to think outside the box.  There are a lot of baby gifts out there and at least one of them has your loved one’s name on it.

1. Think of the Parents

Consider getting a gift that makes the parent’s lives a little bit easier.  They are going to be very busy with that baby in the next year or so and will also be stuck at home most of the time.

Baby Toys

Gift certificates to local restaurants, preferably ones that deliver are great for the hectic parent.  It makes their lives a little bit easier because they don’t have to worry about cooking for themselves for an evening.  Keep those friends in gift cards and certificates for restaurants, grocery stores and even video rental services like; Netflix and they’ll love you for life.

2. Think Smart!

Everyone can get baby toys, but does everyone go for the slightly more expensive toys designed to make your baby an Einstein?  A baby’s fastest and most important brain development occurs during the first 6 months of life.  So, this is a crucial time in their childhood and the more stimulated their minds, the more neural connections are made in their brains. There are a ton of these toys on the market.  Pick up a few of them or just one and enjoy the benefits of a Baby Einstein.

3.  Consider the Gym

If the mom to be was a former gym bunny before getting pregnant you might get her a membership back at her favorite gym again.  It may be awhile before she gets to use it so go for a year membership or get a card or coupon that will activate when she signs up for a membership.

This is a tricky gift obviously.  Give it carefully.  Only if she liked going to the gym before or as part of a co-membership between the two of you as a way of getting her out of the house for some friends time when she gets overwhelmed.

4. Get a Babysitter

They may not need it yet, but you can get a gift certificate or card with a local day care center.  Or even make up your own babysitting coupons, good anytime, for the mom-to-be.  Offering your time is a wonderful gift. Baby gifts help with the care of a child, but nothing says friend like offering to care for the child.  When mom has to go back to work or the parents want to get a few days off in 6 months or a year they can.

When picking up the certificate make sure it’s good for at least a year or two.  This way parents won’t feel rushed to use it before they are ready.

Tip 5:

Give some thought to the message you want to convey and capture this within a simple card that matches the rest of your baby gift and packaging. A hand-written note that has special meaning to you and the recipient will be treasured long after the rest of the wrapping has been recycled!
