Whether you are grandparents, godfather, godmother, friends, colleagues, auntie, uncle or even the happy parents of this adorable baby, if you are reading this article, it is likely that you are looking for inspiration for your birth gift . When baby arrives, we discover that the internet is full of gift ideas that are not easy to navigate.
Tip #1: choose an original, useful, durable and personalized birth gift
Before becoming a mother, I too looked for what birth gift to give to my loved ones. Looking back, my gifts were not very original: due to lack of inspiration, I offered either a cuddly toy or a piece of clothing. It was when my son was born 9 years ago, then my daughter, that I realized how spoiled we had been but also the number of gifts we received in doubles or even triples. My past gifts were certainly very cute, useful for some, but they were sorely lacking in originality
1. Why give an original birth gift?
As mentioned in my anecdote, the first reason is to stand out from other gifts. Young parents will receive many similar birth gifts , such as clothes, toys (here we total 5 Sophie the Giraffe for 2 births, who could say better?), soft toys and standard childcare items.
By offering an original gift, you will stand out from other gifts and save parents a painful process of exchanging your gift (or even reselling it or keeping it unnecessarily if the exchange ticket was not slipped into the package). Because of its difference, your gift will be a unique souvenir for the parents and the child.
The other advantage is to please. New parents will certainly be delighted to receive an original and personalized gift for their newborn. They will feel particularly touched by the attention you paid to choosing the gift and by your efforts to think outside the box. With an original birth gift, you will make an impression but above all will rise to the occasion: the birth of a child is a major event in the life of every family, perhaps even the happiest day of their life , so you might as well show them the importance of this day with a special gift.
Finally, what if your gift became a source of inspiration for parents and children? By offering an original gift, for example with special symbolism linked to birth, you will show them that there are interesting alternatives to standard products: something to develop their creativity and originality. Here are 5 original ideas for symbolic birth gifts , some of which are handmade. These ideas for an original birth gift can also be found among the list at the end of the article.

2. A useful birth gift
Obviously, your gift should not only be original but also useful for the child and ideally also for their parents. The arrival of a baby in the family is a major upheaval that requires preparation. Birth also pushes some people to move or buy a new car.
A useful birth gift is a gift that will be used by new parents, for example to take care of their newborn. If we spontaneously think of certain common childcare items (bibs, diapers, pajamas, bath or meal equipment, baby carrier or sling, etc.), don’t forget that each baby is different, so you should also consider the needs and preferences of new parents when choosing a useful baby gift.
This can be a lasting keepsake for both parents and child: an item that will be cherished for years and could, for example, be a reminder of the attention and affection that parents have given to the newborn since birth . I am thinking in particular of all the objects designed to preserve his childhood memories (a beautiful memory box), present him with his family (a family tree), tell him his story (birth book or photo album) or even books or wooden games. Original gift ideas that will last through the years and will be useful to both baby and family.
A birth gift that lasts can also become a family heirloom. It can be passed down from generation to generation and become a family heirloom that is cherished and appreciated. Sustainable gifts can be appreciated for their sentimental and practical value, and can also help promote a sustainable environment for generations to come.

3. And finally, a personalized birth gift
Offering a personalized birth gift , as long as it is useful and designed to last, ensures that both the baby and his parents will use and remember your gift for years. Indeed, a personalized object will not be given to other children of the siblings (since it is in the first name of the one whose birth we are celebrating) and even less resold on second-hand sites. By personalizing your birth gift, you make it unique and the parents will undoubtedly appreciate this delicate attention.
