Giving a professional photo shoot as a gift: an unforgettable present 📷
Giving expectant or new parents a professional photoshoot is a truly special gift idea, allowing them to preserve these magical moments for a lifetime. A maternity shoot or a family shoot after the birth offers much more than just a material gift. Indeed, it allows a family to experience something emotional, while preserving their most precious memories in a unique and special way.
This gift will allow parents to relive, year after year, the magic of the first moments of their family life and to pass on to their child images that they will cherish for their entire lives.
Plan for moments of relaxation: the wellness gift 🧖
When you become a parent, or are about to become one, the baby is often the primary focus, but you shouldn't forget yourselves. Giving parents a moment to reconnect, a romantic dinner out for example, or a relaxing spa day to rest and unwind, is a great idea. This will allow them to take a break, disconnect, and reconnect with each other.
Pregnancy brings about a change in the mother's body, and she will be delighted to receive natural beauty products to take care of herself , or even a pre- or post-natal massage to relieve tension.
A book to prepare for the arrival of the baby: the recommended gift 📕
Expectant parents often have a thousand questions about the arrival of their baby: what are the first steps in caring for them? What will their growth rate be like? How can they prepare to become parents? Offering specialized books on pregnancy and the first months after birth can help them feel more serene and prepared.
There are all sorts of them, answering as many questions as one could possibly ask. Specialized books provide advice , drawing on the knowledge of parents or specialists who have a certain knowledge of the subject. Whether it's about successfully carrying a pregnancy or understanding the specific needs of a child at each age.
A subscription to a convenient service: the gift that relieves 🍼
Gifts can take many forms, and an intangible gift can be just as valuable as the biggest package. Since the arrival of a child causes a major change in the daily lives of new parents, offering a subscription to a service that makes life easier for them is often an excellent idea.
Among the most useful services are subscriptions for boxes of baby products (diapers, toiletries, clothing, etc.) or for home delivery services, in order to free up the time spent shopping for your child. Here, we are talking about gifts that will ease the busy daily lives of families.
Keep beautiful memories thanks to a birth journal: the nostalgic gift 📔
To preserve the memories of all the precious moments spent with their baby , giving a birth record book is an excellent idea. From pregnancy to birth, to first steps and entry into kindergarten, the birth record book is designed to become a record of your child's early years.
Using photos, collages, crafts, drawings, and text, parents can have fun creating a storybook of their little one's first adventures . In a few years, when your child searches for memories of their childhood, they will be very happy to discover their birth book and all the precious moments they shared with you.
Buying a pregnancy and breastfeeding pillow: a thoughtful gift 💤
A useful gift that will be helpful during pregnancy, but also after birth for comfortable positioning during breastfeeding or sleep. A pregnancy pillow is a must-have in every expectant mother's hospital bag . Its curved shape provides comfort and relieves aches and pains caused by pregnancy, such as the heaviness of a round belly or back pain.
After birth, the cushion can be transformed into a nursing pillow , which is practical for certain positions and for postpartum recovery for mom, but also for proper positioning during breastfeeding . It will also be useful for getting comfortable when you are simply holding your baby in your arms.
A comfortable baby carrier: the practical gift 🤱
New parents will appreciate receiving a quality baby sling or carrier to keep their baby close while remaining free to move around. It's a gift that can truly change parents' lives, especially in the first few months when the baby needs constant reassurance.
