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. Personally, I think charity gifts, such as planting a tree or adopting an animal are great gifts for babies.

Why?

Well, babies don't really care about gifts! At least not during their first six months of living or so. But a three year old will by mighty proud of "his tiger" or "his trees".

Same goes with naming a star - an excellent way to inspire a preschooler to learn about the universe!

Well, here is a collection of unusual baby gifts for your inspiration.





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 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 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 coordinates of the 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" or "her" 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 really well also for older children that will actually understand immediately what they get. (But you'd better start saving for the trip to Africa... ;-)

WWF have a large selection of animals that you can help for some $15.

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 cosy to lie or sit on and free of poisons.

You can get a high quality sheepskin for your baby here.

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, is a babysitting gift card. Either make your own one and volunteer as the babysitter or buy one from a professional sitter service provider. You can buy a gift certificate with one of America's best providers of babysitters here.

Either way, it is most likely a very appreciated gift! Maybe not so much from the baby, but happy parents take better care of their children and of each other!

Anything personalized

Just about anything personalized can be very special. One of my favorites is personalized pacifiers. Perfect for day care, for example!

Here are a few quality sites with personalized baby gifts:

A Bumbo baby seat

Have you ever seen a Bumbo Baby 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.
