We've come up with a list of new baby gift ideas for those of you out there who may be racking your brains and coming up empty. Some of these gift ideas are tried-and-true traditional new baby gifts while others are more a reflection of current trends in new baby gifts.

Hand Print / Foot Print Baby Gifts - There are kits available the parents can use to make a cast of baby's handprint or footprint and preserve it forever.  Many of the new baby gifts we sell include these kits.

First Tooth Keepsake Baby Gifts - Give the parents a keepsake box they can store baby's first tooth after it falls out later (usually around age 5 or 6).  These boxes are sold separately or are often included in baby gift sets with other items.

First Curl Keepsake Baby Gift-  Same concept as above. These new baby gifts allow the parents to save a lock of hair from baby's first haircut. Again, you can buy these separately or find them included in new baby gift sets.

Maid Service for the New Parents - Let's face it, the new baby isn't the one who needs baby gifts the most. The  new parents need the baby gifts! Gift certificates for housecleaning service makes excellent new baby gifts.

Make a Coupon Book - Free baby gifts!  Offer various favors as new baby gifts by creating a book of handmade coupons the new parents can redeem for diaper changes, babysitting, dog walking, running errands etc.

Gift Certificate for a Portrait Studio - Portraits are new baby gifts that last a lifetime!

Diaper Cake Baby Gifts - Like baby gift baskets, baby diaper cakes make great new baby gifts.  They're a creative way to present the parents with lots of diapers, which new parents always need!

Diaper Wreath Baby Gifts - Just like a diaper cake, diaper wreaths are fun and imaginative and double as baby shower decor  as well as unique baby gifts.  The new mom can take home with her and dismantle later to make use of all the practical items included.

Bootie Bouquet Baby Gifts - Imaginative yet practical new baby gifts, baby bouquets are often made using all booties (in which case they are often referred to as "bootie bouquets") or assembled with a variety of baby clothes tightly wound up to resemble roses and presented in a bunch for beautiful presentation. These new baby gifts sometimes even come adorned with faux leaves and baby's breath.

Lullaby Baby Gifts - Soothing music can be a lifesaver for some parents who have difficulty getting baby to relax and fall asleep.  Many of our new baby gifts include music CDs.

Swaddling Baby Gifts - To be effective for swaddling a baby properly, these new baby gifts should be square, not rectangular, and larger than the average receiving blanket.  Large, square swaddling blankets are hard to find, so if you manage to locate some, these are great new baby gifts!

Layette Baby Gifts - Clothes always make fantastic new baby gifts.

Diaper Service Baby Gifts - More parents are switching back to cloth diapers. There are now diaper services available in almost every major city that pick up dirty diapers and delivery clean ones on a regular schedule.  And many offer gift certificates to give as new baby gifts.

Belly Casting Kit - If the expectant mom hasn't delivered the baby yet, belly casting kits are one of the most unique baby gifts. She and the expectant daddy, or a close friend, can make the belly cast together. Once dry, it can be decorated in a number of ways and hung on the wall of the nursery or master bedroom for decor.  These make great new baby gifts because all of the guests can help her make the cast. 

Deliver a Meal - Many of the best baby gifts involve food -- for mom and dad!  Those first few days after the baby comes home are chaotic and both parents are usually too tired to cook.
