How to choose a practical baby gift?
Practical gifts are a lifesaver for new parents. When choosing a gift, consider the baby’s age and the family’s lifestyle. If they are always on the go, a lightweight, foldable stroller or a compact travel cot would be a great choice. For a family that loves to spend time at home, a baby monitor or a soft rocking chair could be the perfect addition to their nursery. You can also never go wrong with essentials like baby clothing in various sizes or a large set of reusable nappies.
