Sometimes choosing traditional gifts is the best solution when deciding what to give new or expecting parents. After all, new parents generally need a standard set of supplies. Choose a tasteful version of a traditional gift that fits the expecting parents’ tastes for a personalized touch that they’ll remember and appreciate. And before shopping, ask the new parents if they’ve signed up for a gift registry so you can be sure to select a gift they’ll love. 
Car Seat : Choose a car seat that holds to the highest safety regulations, and hang small toys on the handle so the baby can play with them while riding in the car. The toys will dress up the car seat and keep the baby occupied during car rides. 
Clothes : New parents usually appreciate sleepers and other comfortable, easy-to-put-on clothing. When choosing baby clothes before the baby is born, choose “neutral” colors like yellow and green, unless you know that the parents prefer blue for boys and pink for girls. A gift basket of handmade clothes is a great gift for the new arrival, as Make Your Own Baby Stuff says. Tiny baby boots in pretty colors or baby shoes will also be welcome gifts. 
Baby Album : Choose an elegant album for photos and memorabilia of the new baby, as well as the pregnancy. Select an album with space for journaling and suggestions for what to place on the pages, like a lock of the baby’s hair. 
Afghan : If you crochet or knit, make a baby afghan with light, bright colors. Choose yarn died with a mixture of colors to create a more vibrant afghan, and select soft yarn made for babies. Make the afghan large enough to wrap the baby with even after he grows to be two or three years old. 
Christmas Ornament : A Christmas ornament to commemorate the baby’s first Christmas is a festive traditional gift, especially if the baby is born near the holiday season. Have the baby’s name and birthday engraved or painted on the ornament. Changing Table : New parents always need a changing table. Visit the nursery before selecting the table so you can choose one that matches, or ask the parents about their tastes. Create a gift basket filled with changing supplies like diapers and powder, choosing a basket that matches the room so parents can use it as a handy place to keep supplies.

Babies are ultimately delightful whether it is a boy or a girl. They light up the dullest of dull days with their beatific smiles and chirpy gurgles. Not only parents but anybody even remotely associated with these tiny angels fall prey to their easy charm and toothless grins. And all you want to do is shower them with your love and everything good you can possibly think of. If you have one such little cherub who has recently touched your heart and your life and you want something really special, something that is for keeps and unlike clothes and toys will not wear with time, then read on.
There can be nothing more wonderful and appropriate than a gift of jewelry for the little one, for this is one thing that will stand the test of time and remain a treasured piece. There is a whole selection of baby jewelry available these days that are made keeping in mind the little dumplings. Not only are they made of non allergic gold and metal that will not cause rashes or eruptions on a baby’s tender skin but also have special clasps and closures that are safe for the little ones.
Nothing ever seems enough for the tiny tots and given a choice you would even try and reach for the stars and the moon for them. But for now you can settle for a similar motif in white or yellow gold that can be worn either as a pendant or on a bracelet. Make sure the band of the bracelet is adjustable so that baby is able to wear it for a couple of years at least.
If it is a girl you can even add a pair of earrings to complete the set. If it has a twinkling diamond tucked in, even better. You can also get her a pair of forever diamond studs, something she can wear even when she blossoms into a young lady. Trust me, she will love and cherish this gift forever and her first diamond earrings will remain her most special pair. If you don’t have budget constraints a solitaire diamond pendant to go with the studs would be lovely.
If you thought jewelry was meant for the little ladies alone, you are mistaken. The tiny young men also have quite a few options available these days. To start with, a pendant in an animal or cartoon motif is a good choice. These look even better if they have a winking diamond or a vibrant gemstone tucked in. Baby bracelets also are as much for the boys as they are for the girls. Just be careful to select a motif that is not too girlie and more suitable for the tiny little man.
