It's never easy to buy a perfect gift - even for the closest family. Here are some tips that can help you master this difficult art.
All birthdays are special, but there are some that seem just a bit more significant than others. For women it’s definitely turning fifty, thirty, twenty one, eighteen, sixteen. It’s also their baby’s first birthday. It’s the moment when a baby turns into a toddler and life changes once again, so it’s very important to celebrate a baby’s first birthday not only for the child but also their mom. And a special celebration is always a great reason for fabulous cake and great gifts.
For the first birthday both the child and the mom should be presented with something special, and you can safely go for a gift that will benefit both of them at the same time. One of the best choices is a stylish bag that the young mom can wear with everything and that will fit all the items necessary to leave the house with the baby. Mommy and baby yoga or water aerobics classes are also a hit, since they are relaxing and at the same time healthy, absorbing for the child and at the same time giving the mom some time for herself. For fashionista moms matching, but not identical outfits are a hit, especially if they come from her favorite designer, so it’s a good idea to check who on her list has a kid’s line to make her day.
Just because the mom and the baby celebrate together doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get gifts appropriate for their individual age groups. For a child toys are always an option, but it’s worth checking what toys the child already has and what the parents’ preferences are, so that the toy gets enjoyed instead of ending up in an unwanted pile. If the child already has a ton of toys and another one would likely go unnoticed, consider investing in the child’s development by getting a book of beautiful stories. And you have a choice of getting it in print so the parents can spend some quality time with the baby, or as an audio book for those busy moms and dads, giving them a chance to catch up on house work or to have a few minutes to themselves in the evenings.
As for young moms, within a year of having the baby they are looking to get back in pre-pregnancy shape, ready to go out without the baby every now and then, so a weekend spa getaway could be a great gift to pamper them. Getting to feel like a woman and not only a mom, sleeping all night and not having to change diapers for two days is a gift that will definitely be appreciated. Another thing any mom will cherish is some diamond jewelry to add sparkle to her mommy glow, just remember that she spends a lot of time with her curious toddler so stay away from necklaces and big rings, opting for a tennis bracelet or a pair of studded diamond earrings instead.
If you don’t have any first birthday gift idea or feel like the mom and the baby have everything they could possibly want, throwing a fabulous birthday party is a great gift that the mom will appreciate since she won’t have to worry about it, and the baby will love because it’s a party. All you really need is to invite some guests, preferably ones with kids, hire a clown and make sure there are lots of balloons, toys and pretty cupcakes, and a party can’t go wrong.
