Everyone loves cool gifts,  especially cool baby gifts!

In fact, retailers and manufacturers understand the importance of cool baby gifts and aggressively target that exact keyword in Google search to generate interest in their products and increase website traffic.

 Cool Baby Gifts are hot for the following reasons:

1. The event.  A new baby is one of the the most joyful experiences in life.  Consequently,  friends, family and even co-workers look to celebrate the occasion with gifts that match that level of excitement.
2. Product choices.  Few categories have benefited as much from technological advances as baby products.  Scores of new & “cool” products are introduced each year for babies.
3.  Young demographics.  The baby gift category is driven by people between the ages of 24-39.  This youthful group is up to date with the latest product trends, especially those that are driven by technology.
4. Gift clutter. New parents are inundated with gifts.  Therefore, for a gift to stand out it be must be unique and cool in some way.  Nowhere is this need more important than at a baby shower where gifts are usually opened in front of everyone!

Top 5 cool baby gifts

1. A stroller system.  Technology has impacted the stroller perhaps more than any other baby product. Strollers today are complete travel systems. Some include an easy snap and go car seat.  One popular model is the Britax Travel System.
2. Formula Maker.  Preparing formula bottles has never been easier. Modern formula machines mix, heat and dispense formula in seconds. Check out the Baby Brezza Formula Pro. 
3. Rocking Horse Gift Set. Every baby needs a rocking horse to call their own.  A rocking horse looks great in the nursery and will become a treasured keepsake toy as baby grows. Silly Phillie® offers a wide collection of beautiful Rocking Horse Gift Sets.
4. Baby Humidifier. A humidifier is an essential but often over looked piece of equipment in a baby’s nursery. Dry air, especially during winter time, can irritate baby’s skin and nasal passages. One of my personal favorites is the line of Crane Cool Mist Animal Humidifiers.  
5. BabyBjorn. This timeless baby carrier is a favorite of new parents. It is ergonomically designed to fit baby perfectly, comfortable for parents to wear and comes in eight bright colors.

1. Cloth Diapers.  More and more new parents today are turning to natural cloth diapers as a viable option to disposables. They are Eco-friendly and cheaper and more cost efficient than disposables.  Read this excellent summary-Cloth Diapers 101– before deciding whether to make this your gift.
2. Diaper Cake. If cloth diapers is not your style, then consider a beautiful Diaper Cake baby gift. Diaper Cakes became all the rage after one was featured on the former hit show Sex in the City.  Well made Diaper Cakes are made with disposal diapers and quality layette items. Check out this one sold on 1800flowers.com.
3. Personalized baby gifts.  Any thing personalized with baby’s name goes over big with the new parents. Baby blankets & bath hooded towels are just two items that look great personalized.
4.  Books. its never too early to start reading to a baby. In fact, reading to children from early infancy leads to increased neural activity according to a study from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Start baby’s library with books like Corduroy, the Very Hunger Caterpillar, and Is Your Mama a Llama.
5. Welcome Wagon. Last but not least is a Deluxe Welcome Wagon from Silly Phillie®. These beautiful baby gift sets come filled with an abundance of quality layette items and accessories for baby.  It is a superior alternative to  baby gift baskets because it includes a fabulous keepsake wood wagon pull-toy for baby.

In summary, there are many cool baby gifts to choose from. But the coolest ones in my opinion are those the new parents really, really wanted or didn’t know they needed. I hope you found this helpful in your search for cool baby gifts.

Until next time….
