Monitor
A must for new parents and seasoned parents alike, the baby monitor allows moms and dads to attend to duties elsewhere in the home while baby is sleeping. Whether audio or video, a monitor is a great baby gift.

Styles include simple ring slings or wrap designs, as well as the more elaborate Mei Tai and Mei Hip. Every new mom can benefit from the baby carrier, which tops the list of great baby gifts.
Crib Bedding Set
Usually including a matching comforter, bumper pad and crib sheet, a crib set often provides the starting point when decorating the nursery. To make sure you are selecting an item which meets her needs, consult the new mother-to-be to confirm the crib set you are selecting is compliementary to her style.
Mobile
It is important that babies are provided stimulation from a very early age to experience optimal development. A stationary mobile, attached to the crib and suspended where baby can easily see it, provides much needed visual stimulation. A battery operated or wind-up mobile is even better, combining color, movement and music to draw baby’s attention, provide both visual and auditory stimulation and soothe when baby is fussy.
The variety of baby gifts is nearly endless even if you are focusing on safety. With so many wonderful items from which to choose, selecting just the right baby gift is not only easy, but can also be a lot of fun!
