It’s only fitting that I follow up the recent articled in Silly Phillie® News titled 5 Best Baby Boy Gifts with one that seeks to identify the top baby girl gifts.

It’s well known that girls are generally easier to shop for than boys. One reason for this is that product designers like myself find it easier designing cutesy stuff for girls. Designing for boys is always a bit more challenging.

But when it comes to newborn babies, there’s really no difference in the amount of merchandise available for either sex. And with the explosion of online retailers, finding outstanding baby girl gifts is easier than ever before.

But how do you decide among the many great baby girl gifts available today? I advise customers to first consider: 1) do the parents have a gift registry set-up; 2) Is the baby a firstborn or second or third child; and 3) do the parents have a particular interest or hobby. All of these questions will help focus you on choosing an appropriate gift for that particular baby.

With this in mind, here are 5 of my best baby girl gift ideas.

5 Best Baby Girl Gifts

1. Moses Baskets: A Moses Basket is one of my favorite baby girl gifts. Moses Baskets are great because they can be moved easily giving parents the flexibility of having baby with them in any room of the house. There are lots of beautiful Moses Basket to choose from. Mosesbaskets.com offers a nice collection of baskets. Naturally I’m partial to the Deluxe Moses Basket Layette Gift Set offered by Silly Phillie®. In addition to a quality basket & bedding, this one is filled with beautiful “Princess” themed layette for the newborn baby girl.

Baby Gift Buyers Guide

The following is a list of things to consider before purchasing your next baby gift:

Make sure your baby gift is gender appropriate. Nothing is more embarrassing than giving a gift that’s intended for the opposite sex. No matter how nice the gift might be, the impact is lost if it has to be returned. When in doubt choose a gender neutral baby gift.

Find out whether the parents setup a baby gift registry. Parents today increasingly use a gift registry to let friends & family know exactly want they need and want for their new baby. If you’re not comfortable choosing a gift yourself, selecting an item off a registry is a foolproof option. www.myregistry.com is a good place to begin your search. One word of caution. While there are many positives to gifting an item off a registry, it does take away the element of surprise.

Don’t be fooled by the quantity of items in a gift basket. When it comes to baby gifts or gifts in general for that matter, less is more. By that I mean it is always better to give something of quality, rather than a gift overflowing with an abundance of inferior imported merchandise. Look for baby gifts that include Made in the USA merchandise and items made from superior natural cotton fabrics. A prior post- How to choose a Baby Gift Basket-provides additional useful information.

Give a personalized baby gift whenever possible. Parents love seeing their new baby’s name personalized on gifts It’s the extra special touch that makes the gift more exciting & personal. Make sure to double check the spelling of baby’s name though. Parents today are choosing non traditional ways of spelling names. A perfect example of this is Braiden vs Brayden vs Braden. We’ve seen them all used. Silly Phillie® offers a full line of beautiful personalized baby gifts to choose from.

Look for a baby gift to match the parent’s interests. if the parents are doctors, firefighters, or lovers of sports, for example, give a baby gift that’s built around these themes. “Future Doctor”. “Little Squirt” & “All Star” are just a few themed gifts offered by Silly Phillie®. The parents love them plus it shows a great deal of thoughtfulness on the part of the gift giver.

Give a baby gift you know from past experience works. A mistake many people make is trying to “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to choosing a baby gift. We often hear as a reason why not to choose a particular gift “I’ve already given that to someone else”. But if that gift was well received and is in the same price point as your next gift, stick with a winner and make it your signature baby gift.

Spend time on your gift message. A well composed and sincere gift message adds to the effectiveness of a baby gift in a big way. In fact, it is often the first thing the parents see when they receive a gift. “Congratulations on your new addition” may get the job done. However, it is no match for a more heartfelt gift message that expresses your joy for the new addition and says how anxious you are to meet the new baby.

Buy your baby gift from a company trusted to make it special. Finding beautiful baby gifts on the Internet is not that difficult. Finding the right place to buy one from is more so. Some retailers are too large to pay attention to the little details that make a gift truly special. Others are too small to offer a wide variety of products to choose from. Silly Phillie® is neither too large nor too small. We make and sell only high quality baby gifts in the USA and our customer service is second to none.
