What is an original maternity gift?
A maternity gift is something you can surprise new parents with during their maternity period. If you give a maternity gift during the maternity visit, you naturally want it to be something that is used often and that really benefits the young family. Not something that ends up on the big pile and is forgotten.
Do you want to look beyond giving a hug? Then choose an original maternity gift that:
Personal.
Something that characterizes your relationship with the parents or brings back a memory. This way, the new parents will never forget who gave them that special maternity gift.
Captures a beautiful moment.
Think of a storage box, where the parents can store all kinds of memories, such as the first slippers, ultrasound photos and the hospital wristband of the delivery. Also, a plaster impression set or enlarging the birth announcement on wood or canvas.
Useful and convenient.
This is especially advisable for a first child. With this you help new parents to tick off their baby layering list. You can make a real diaper cake or fill a nice basket with hydrophilic diapers, care products, pacifiers and fun onesies. Parents of a second or third child are also often happy with a useful gift, as they often already have a supply of stuffed animals, toys and maybe even clothes.
