Gifts for Newborns & Their Parents
When someone in your family or a friend announces they are expecting a new bay or babies to their family one of the things that springs to mind, after jumping for joy, is ‘BABY SHOPPING!!!!!’ I hope you find this useful for Gifts for Newborns & Their Parents.
So the search for the present that no one else has bought for them starts……
When I was pregnant with Mia, my Mum got together a basket of goodies for me I think she started collecting when I was 12 weeks. Baby grows, muslins, cream, baby wipes, baby nail scissors were all very helpful and well used. Mia’s Nonna also put together a basket for her with baby towels, clothes and baby bed linen. The baskets are still very useful 16 years on for storage! My Sister-in-Law, Auntie Wanna, gave us a baby book when I was pregnant with Rosie which in which I have all her scan photos in, keepsakes and have written down all her ‘firsts’ in.
Get Shopping…..

Getting your crafty head on……
The girls have been lucky to have these made for them by Mama, Grandma, & Nonna. I treasure them.
A handmade gift that has had some thought put into it is always much loved, so if you want to get making Pinterest is a good start for ideas.
