Rocking Chair
Every baby loves the soothing sensation of being rocked. Get a classic wooden rocking chair or a modern glider or bouncer that seems to float back and forth effortlessly with soothing music.
Jogging Stroller
For any parent who enjoys a pleasant walk or a vigorous jog, a jogging stroller is a great gift. These types of baby strollers are a tight fit for both baby and parent, so while mom or dad can get outside, the baby gets a nice ride.
Date Night In
New parents of don’t have much time to dedicate to each other so a gift of a “night in” gives a couple opportunity to spend some precious time alone. You can also include gift certificates to a restaurant that delivers and the local video store, a package basket of their favorite instant drinks, a relaxing CD or a new board game for two.
Baby Monitor
New parents, especially first-time moms and dads, will appreciate a baby monitor. These are very sophisticated gadgets that enable them to listen to the baby remotely. Some models even can pick up a baby’s heartbeats and every motion. If you have some extra money to spend, you can get a video baby monitor, which gives parents the added peace of mind of seeing the baby as well as hearing her.
Video and Still Camera
