Helping a friend or family member prepare for their new baby is a fun privilege and responsibility. Show them you care by picking up one of these helpful gifts for mom and dad. All of these items are 100% new-mom recommended.
1. Twilight Turtle
Twilight Turtle is a fun nightlight that projects starry constellations onto your child’s ceiling. You can choose from three soothing colors of light, whichever you feel is most restful. As your child grows older, Twilight Turtle becomes a great learning tool to a correlation between their bedroom ceiling and the actual night sky.
2. HABA Wonder Dice
For early stacking, HABA’s Wonder Dice fit the bill perfectly. The soft pieces are easy to pick up and are crafted from brightly colored fabrics of engaging patterns and textures.
3. Beco Baby Carrier
Beco combines perfect ergonomics, excellent weight distribution and stylish design from top quality fabrics. Each carrier is handmade in the USA by a skilled seamstress in facilities which apply high social and economical standards.
4. Lock and Rock Shakers
These colorful noisemakers are perfect for the tiniest musicians. You can lock them together for one large shaker, or snap them apart to enjoy individually. As the child grows older, they’re great for sharing with friends in a pretend-play band.
5. HABA Sevilla Blocks
Every child needs a great set of blocks - and Sevilla Blocks by HABA are the best. They are exquisitely crafted from solid beech wood and are colored with water-based vegetable dyes. Even if the baby is inheriting a set of blocks from an older sibling, Sevilla Blocks make exceptional accent pieces. Very much reminiscent of a Gaudi structure, each block is brightly colored and adorned with fantastic sensory-stimulating patterns, bells and reflective surfaces.
6. Kathe Kruse
All of Kathe Kruse’s baby toys, blankets and cloth dolls are responsibly made by hand in Europe from the highest quality materials.

Sleep Sheep plays soothing ambient noise to help your baby sleep. Soothing rain and a mother’s heart beat are two of the five options from which to choose.
9. Tutim NYC Toy & Paci Sitters
These fashionable little straps are the epitome of functional. They feature beautifully patterned cloth and snaps in lieu of chunky plastic clips. Just attach them to your baby’s favorite toys and pacifiers to keep them off the ground. All of TutimNYC’s products are carefully crafted in the USA.
10. Mozart Magic Cube
Kids love buttons and instant feedback. The Mozart Magic Cube entertains a wide range of ages. Press the buttons to hear a Mozart piece play.
