🌿 Avoid bad maternity gifts: this way you always give something that parents are really happy with

Choosing a baby gift can be quite a challenge. You want to give something that radiates love and will truly be used. Yet, gifts often end up in the junk drawer or never even get unwrapped. A shame – for you, for the parents, and for the planet.

Fortunately, there are simple ways to avoid a bad purchase. With these tips, you'll always give a meaningful baby gift.

• 🎀 Check if there is a wish list
• 👩👩👧 Go shopping together with the mom-to-be
• 🌸 Choose quality over quantity
• 💌 Give a gift card
• 💞 Give together with others one larger gift

🎀 Check if there is a wish list

More and more parents are making a wish list . Sometimes it's on the birth announcement, sometimes you can just ask. It's super handy, because this way you can be sure your gift matches their style and wishes. Parents often appreciate it when you check it.

👩👩👧 Go shopping together with the mom-to-be

Really don't know what to choose? Invite the (expectant) mom to go shopping with you – during pregnancy or right after the birth. This way, she has a say, you make the right choice, and it becomes a fun time together.

🌸 Choose quality over quantity

Better to have one beautiful gift that lasts a long time than ten small knickknacks that disappear into the closet. Think of a warm wool blanket, a sustainable sleeping bag, or a cozy jacket. These kinds of basics are used daily and really make a difference.

💌 Give a gift card

Perhaps not the most surprising, but very practical. With a gift card, parents can choose what they need – from soft baby clothes to natural care products. A gift card prevents bad purchases and offers ultimate freedom.

💞 Give together with others one larger gift

Share your donations with friends, family, or colleagues. This way, you can give a larger item, like a Hvid blanket or an Engel jumpsuit. Parents are often happier with one large, sustainable gift they use every day than with a whole collection of small items.

✨ Finally

A baby gift doesn't have to be complicated. By checking a wish list, shopping together, or choosing quality over quantity, you can give something parents will truly appreciate. This way, your gift will become a memory instead of a bad purchase.
