Unusual Baby Gifts
Maybe More Memorable!
Do you want to give your little darling some unusual baby gifts?
Here's a collection of baby gifts that you might not have thought about.
Unusual Baby Gift Ideas
Plant a tree
In these times, when we are only beginning to realize the potential effects of global warming, planting a tree on behalf a new baby is almost like paying off a tiny bit of our debt to the next generation in my view.
Our youngest got five trees planted for him as a Baptism gift - a wonderful idea.
Depending on where you live and where you would like to plant a tree, here are a few alternatives.
Treegivers.com
Treegivers operate in the US and Canada and you can decide in which state it should be planted.
Rainforestforever.org
Rainforestforever works to protect the Amazon. A fun feature is that you get the exact GPS coordates of teh tree that you buy. Using GoogleMaps this means that it is possible to "see" the tree from at home.
Name a star
Ok, you're not actually buying a star or giving it a name that will be printed in the school books, but who cares? Naming a Star
on someone's behalf is so romantic, I think. And just imagine in a few years, when the young child can watch the sky and point to "his" star. I think I'll give this to all my kids for Christmas.
Adopt an animal
Another great gift, in my view is to adopt an animal on behalf of the child. This works as least as good for older children that will actually understand what they get.
WWF
have a large selection of animals that you can help for $15 (€12).
Another option is
www.davidshepherd.org,
where you can adopt several African animals.
A real sheepskin
When one of our children was newborn, we received an organic sheepskin. This was a wonderful gift! Warm and cozy to lie or sit on and free of poisons.
A photo session
Buy a gift card for a photo session at a local photographer. It is sooo easy, being a new parent to think that you should go and take pictures of your cutie, but then you never get around to do it...
A restaurant gift card
Find a good, local restaurant that offers take away dinners. Buy a gift card for the new parents. A luxury when the baby is too new or too fussy to bring to a restaurant.
A babysitting gift card
Another unusual baby gift, this time a cheap but appreciated one, is a babysitting gift card. Make your own card and give away a few times when you baby sit so that the parents can go out for dinner, go shopping or whatever.
Anything personalized
Personalized towels, blankets,
pacifiers,
cradles etc all make your baby gift unique.
A Bumbo baby seat
Have you ever seen a
Bumbo Seat?
I think they are funny! Your baby can sit in it already from the age of three months, sits steadily and is much more able to look around than in a usual baby bouncer.
Hopefully that gave you some ideas for unusual baby gifts!
