Practical Gifts to Give for Baby’s First Easter
As a new parent, you understandably want to share with your baby the
excitement you experienced as a kid when you woke up to an Easter basket
full of goodies. However, babies aren’t yet attuned to a world of
chocolate bunnies and Easter egg hunts, so in the meantime, it’s
perfectly okay to be more practical, yet celebratory, with your Easter
gift-giving. Regardless, you still want it to be special because it’s
your baby’s very first Easter celebration.
To help you create a cute little Easter basket, here are some candy-free gift ideas for celebrating your baby’s first Easter:
Cuddly Toys and Security Blankets
A newborn, of course, is too young for jelly beans and marshmallow Peeps, or other Easter candy that typically fills up an Easter basket. They’re also still too little for toys with tiny pieces that pose a safety hazard. Instead, choose something they can cuddle up with. A security blanket, also called a “lovey” or “blankie,” is a great gift to provide comfort to a young child. You can never go wrong with baby blankets as gifts, especially if they are super soft and come in adorable prints picturing cute animals or spring flowers.
Another cuddly item for a baby is a “blanket toy” featuring a blanket and plush animal in one. A classic lovey soft blanket toy by aden + anais is a great example of a security blanket and plush animal in one piece that’s sure to delight a baby and eventually a toddler because they can tote it around. Their blanket toys are made of soft cotton muslin, and the adorable head (choose from a dog, elephant or giraffe) is filled hypoallergenic polyester fill.
Cute Outfits
If your baby is too young for bunny ears and a bit too fussy for dress clothes, you can still find some items that are fun and functional for the spring holiday. Aim for no-fuss outfits that offer just the right amount of stretch to keep your little one nice and comfy. A cotton muslin body suit or onesie with some stretch, for example,are soft, comfy, and breathable options. Some are even made with snaps so that you don’t have to pull them over your baby’s head to put them on.
Perhaps this isn’t a gift for baby as much as it is for you, but bibs and burp cloths are a must-have for parents and babies, so you can both stay clean. Look for a generously-sized burp cloth that is soft while also effective for catching even the stealthiest of dribbles. Make sure it’s made with an absorbent, non-slip fabric that drapes nicely over your baby’s shoulders. And just because burp bibs are practical doesn’t mean they can’t be fun to look at. Choose whatever motifs strike your fancy this spring season, be it wildlife, hearts, flowers, or fun pastel shades.
Bath Time Coziness
Is there still room in your baby’s Easter basket? If so, make bath time better with a few products designed specifically for your baby’s needs. A hooded towel and washcloth set will make bathing and drying off easier and more fun. A washcloth made of soft cotton muslin for delicate skin is a tub time essential as is a hooded towel that incorporates absorbent terry cloth to keep your baby’s little head warm after bathing. For added fun, find a set that incorporates adorable patterns such as hearts and stars for your dreamy little heart breaker.
Of course, you’ll also have to wash up. Make bath time a breeze with gentle products designed for your baby’s delicate skin. Ultra gentle lotion as well as shampoo, conditioner, and bubble bath are all good to have on hand. Look for products with ingredients that are known to moisturize and nourish skin, such as pawpaw fruit extract—known as “wonder fruit.” Of course, seek out skincare products that are free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, and other harmful ingredients.
