Gifts for Baby Boys

Deepa Kartha
Giving gifts to newborns are one of the best ways of welcoming them into this world. However, most people get confused when it comes to buying something for them. Nevertheless, it is actually not a very difficult task, as there are lot of options to choose from.
The first thing that comes to the mind when we think of baby boys is the color blue. Although you can adhere to this norm, it is definitely not a necessity. On the other hand, one should not restrict to a single color when it comes to giving gifts to little children. Whatever you do, make sure that the gift is something that is useful for the little one.

Diaper Cake

Most parents will agree when I say that diapers are one of the most useful things for a little baby. However, rather than giving several packs of baby diapers, a really innovative idea would be to make a diaper cake.
Diaper cakes can be made in two or three layers. To make the cake a little more interesting, you can decorate it once you have completed it. For instance, attach some things like baby toys, clothes, teddy bears on it, and then finally, tie it with a fancy ribbon. I am sure that the parents of the little one will thank you for this gift.

Clothes

Apart from diapers, another great gift idea for a little boy is baby clothes. Various types of fancy baby clothes are available in the market. Some of the clothes that you can get include T-shirts, shorts, pants, etc.
Give accessories like caps, booties, and socks which match with the garment. Personalize them by getting the child's first or last name printed on the back of the shirt or cap. If you are looking for something funny, you can opt for clothes as well as accessories that have funny pictures as well as quotes on them.

Gift Basket

As most babies actually get a lot of clothes and diapers as gifts, may you would want to give something different. Instead of giving a single huge gift, it will be a good idea to give a lot of small things, by putting together a gift basket.
You can actually get a baby gift basket from the market. However, it you want to give a personal touch to this gift, try making the basket on your own. Buy a large wicker basket from the local store, and fill it with things that the baby will require, including baby clothes, blankets, bottles, little toys, wipes, booties, soft toys, etc.
To make the gift unique, instead of the wicker basket, use a bathtub, which can be used for bathing the little one.
Apart from these, some other things that you can gift a little baby include a baby book, toys, cradle, baby bed, etc. So, choose the gift that you find the best, and present it to the little one by covering it with a good gift wrap.
