Baby gifts are the most bought out item out there. How do you decide what to give? It is especially hard for 2nd, 3rd or more babies. Since most of the parents no longer have baby registries after their first child and often already got all the stuff the first time around.
You really want to make sure that the present is unique to the second child.
3 things to consider for second time parent’s gift:
- Do not give out clothes as babies outgrow them way too fast
- Something that will live in long-term memory-consider personalized gifts
- Something unique but helpful at the same time-avoid Toys Rus gifts-too trivial
