Whether someone you know is having a first baby or adding another to the family, there are certain gifts that are more appreciated than just another baby bib. Of course, little ones do go through baby bibs at a record pace, so think about including one as part of your gift.
1. Keepsake gifts, especially ones that are personalized, are always an excellent choice. The variety is only as limited as your imagination. There are keepsake boxes that preserve things like the first lock of hair or those amazing sonogram photos. Maybe you prefer to send a personalized blanket or a monogrammed outfit. New parents always love something that has baby's name on it or an item that will become a special treasure forever.
2. Gift baskets make great gifts for a variety of reasons. You can select one has a blue theme for a baby boy, pink for a baby girl or neutral colors if the gender is unknown and the gift is for a baby shower. The baskets can hold anything from receiving bamboo blankets and hooded towels to practical items like onesies, booties, teething rings and a soft cuddly toy to keep baby happy. For corporate gifts, neighbourhood gifts or any combination of people who want to go in together, gift baskets allow you to select something that pleases everyone. Since the baskets come in all price ranges and contain a variety of items, there is always one that is perfect.
3. Diaper cakes! No, they're not something to eat. Most diaper cakes begin with a layer of disposable diapers that form the base of the 'cake'. From there the designer creates two, three or more layers of useful items for the new parents. Typically there will be washcloths and towels, bibs, booties, teething toys, plush toys, pacifiers, a feeding bottle and more. Many are created around a theme, such as a cartoon character, and they make a wonderful centerpiece for a baby shower. It's a great way to decorate and have a gift with only one purchase. There are always selections for twins or triplets, too.
4. Baby rockers are a more practical gift than just a baby carrier. They have all of the same amenities such as colorful fabric, stimulating toys and a hood to keep baby protected from too much room light or sun light. The plus is that parents can gently rock the baby with varying degrees of movement - or it can be stopped completely. When baby is happy, Mom and Dad are happy. It's relaxation therapy for everyone.
5. Rocking horses and child-sized rocking chairs are gifts to consider when the baby has older brothers or sisters. No doubt the parents will still have many of the items needed for a newborn, such as clothes, blankets, baby bottles, baby furniture, car seats, etc. Instead of duplicating things that aren't needed, consider a gift that baby can grow into. If baby's name is painted or embroidered on the horse or chair that makes it just that much more special. Give the older brother or sister a chance to briefly enjoy the gift with the understanding that it's to be put away for when baby is old enough to use it. Depending on the age of the older children, you may find that you have to purchase one of these special gifts for them, too!
We also have compiled a list of perfect special gift for mom. These gifts are guaranteed to make your mom feel warm and fuzzy inside. There shouldn't be an occasion to present your mom with a gift. Try these great gift ideas to make a special occasion even more memorable.
Perfect gift no. 1: There is noting better than a beautiful pair of gold earrings to light up your mom's day. Earrings are an essential part of Mother's jewelry.
Perfect gift no. 2: A box of chocolate is an excellent gift. It is inexpensive and heart shaped chocolates do a good job of communicating the sweetness in your heart.
Perfect gift no. 3: A diamond ring makes for an excellent gift. There are many online jewelry stores that are loaded with all types of diamond rings, make sure that you select a diamond ring for moms.
Perfect gift no. 4: If a diamond ring sounds too expensive, don't worry, a simple gold ring with a name embossed on the inside works just as well. Jewelry makes for great gifts for mom.
Perfect gift no. 5: You don't need to break the bank to buy your mom jewelry. If you are on a budget a gold pendant makes a great gift. Gold pendants for moms, have an image of a mother and baby designed, that increases its beauty.

Why all the fuss about Pigeon slim neck bottles?
The way to a person’s heart is through their stomachs and babies are not an
exception. In order to have happy babies; mothers should ensure they feed
them properly. Baby
bottles are usually baby's first step to try food other than their
mother's breast. Over the years, slim neck baby bottles have belonged to the
most common ones and many mothers still have a lot of sentiment for them
even though wide neck bottles seem to be the current trend in bottle
feeding.
Many brands seem to be stepping away from slim neck bottles. The widely loved NUK Slim Neck Bottles were discountinued over 12 months ago. In conversations with our store NUK have confirmed that they are not planning to re-launch the range. Earlier this year, similar message came from Cherub Baby. "They were simply not selling well" - said their consultant in a conversation with our manager. To our surprise, no such message came from Pigeon. Therefore, it seems that Pigeon slim neck bottles could be as scarce as hen's teeth. The bottles seem to be loved by the market. Consumers on the popular Australian review portal www.productreview.com.au gave them 4.7 out of 5 grade.
Slim neck bottles have not always been perceived that well. Check out the discussion at Bub Hub regarding different types of slim neck bottles. Mothers say that they indicated problems with various types of them. Some of them simply leaked, others did not seem convenient for the baby. Most of the mothers indicate that when they were advised to try Pigeon slim neck bottles, the situation changed and the experience was positive.
Pigeon baby bottles seem to be loved by mothers due to their distinctive features. Variety of materials such as plastic (PP or PPSU) as well as glass gives a chance to choose own preference depending on views and beliefs. Slim neck bottles are available in all of the mentioned versions. The design is easy to hold (some wide neck bottles take more effort to hold properly) and those who are still into that old traditional shape will find what they want here. Out of slim neck Pigeon seem to be the best baby bottles.
Pigeon also successfully addressed the problem with leaking of teats in slim neck bottles. They equipped them with peristaltic teats which release milk to baby's mouth only when they suck. The official statement from the company says that the aim of such technology is to reduce or even eliminate the confusion between a nipple and a teat.
Below is the summary of reasons why mothers love to use Pigeon the slim neck baby bottles.
- The plastic baby bottles offered by Pigeon are made of unbreakable material which is safe for babies. The material is also free of harmful chemicals which could mix with the formula.
- They have clear markings on them giving mothers an idea of the amount of milk consumed by the baby.
- They are leak proof thus avoiding accidental spills thanks to their design and the teats.
- They are portable and easy for babies to hold
- The glass bottles can withstand any sterilisation method without a damage to the bottle

Best Baby Bottles in Australia
These days we do lot of things when it comes to proper care of our babies. We use different bottles but the most recommended ones are the baby glass bottles. Compared to other types of bottles, they are very reliable and comfortable for both mothers and babies.
When it comes to glass vs other types it is quite an obvious choice. As the recent reports clearly outline that the glass bottles are safer and healthier than plastic bottles. Sceptics claim that plastic in the bottles might be harmful for your baby because of the harmful chemical components. After reading about these hazards many parents decide to switch to glass bottles.
On the brighter side, glass bottles are sturdy, and they not posses any chemicals that may potentially get into a baby's formula. If you look at our various ranges of these bottles, you will see that some of them come with additional features. For example, Cherub Baby bottles include colour changing bottle holders that turn white when the temperature exceeds 42 degrees. This feature protects your baby from getting burns from the overheated milk or formula.
Some of the best baby bottles in Australia these days that are made of glass are Pigeon baby bottles. They are safe to use as they do not use any harmful chemicals. They are competitively priced and we offer them at discounts over 25% off RRP. We aim to offer the best price in Australia on Pigeon bottles. We also have access to Cherub Baby and NUK bottles and these portfolios also include glass baby bottles.
We know that for you your baby comes first and we understand that. This is why we want to make sure that we give you an option of chosing a healthier, less harmful solution when it comes to feeding.
