6 worst baby gifts you shouldn't spend on

There are a number of gifts for the birth of a baby, which are very fond of giving those who either have no children, or they have grown up a long time ago - and they have forgotten what it means to be a young mother. And they are actively offered by sales assistants of children's stores, seeing the confused look of a potential buyer, clearly far from all these children's tricks. So, what exactly does not need to be bought to make a good gift.

1. Hand and foot impression set

Interestingly, at least one of those to whom it was presented used this set? At first, mom is busy with her own health, adjusting feeding and daily regimen - and she has no time for casts at all. And the baby cannot lie still while his leg or hand is thrust into the cast mixture.

And then the child becomes especially mobile - and then it is definitely not up to this set. And the very idea of ​​a hand and a leg made of plaster no longer seems so cute - in what form should these separate "body parts" be stored? They look a little creepy, it is not clear what to do with them. In general, this is a completely unnecessary gift.

2. Diaper cake

When this idea first began to be practiced, it seemed to many to be original. It seems both beautiful and useful. But there is no certainty that the young mother will be of the same opinion. Firstly, it is not known who and how much touched these diapers, you will not want to consider them clean and put on your newborn baby. That is, most likely, these diapers will simply be thrown away. Secondly, you may not be guessing with the brand and size of the diapers - and then they will not be useful any more.

3. Winter envelope

This is a great gift, but it is better to coordinate it with the baby's parents in advance. After all, they probably already bought such an envelope themselves, if they knew that the child would be born in the cold season. And they frankly do not need a few warm envelopes, the baby will grow out of them very quickly.

4. Silver spoon and jewelry

This is an expensive and beautiful gift, but may be completely inappropriate. If you want to give a chain and a cross, be sure that the parents are going to baptize the child at all. But there is still a risk of not guessing with the design. The same goes for a variety of engraved pendants and bracelets. If you are planning to buy a silver spoon (which will not be needed very soon, if at all) - check with the young mother if she is not against it. Otherwise, your gift runs the risk of lying on the far shelf.

5. "Number" for the stroller

This is a sign on a stroller with the name of the child - or even better with the words "star", "princess", "king", "bunny" and so on. Are you sure that the parents of the baby will want to put this on public display? Such a sign on a wheelchair is no less bad form than on a car.

6. Big plush toys

This is a bad gift at any age. The toy takes up a lot of space, accumulates a lot of dust, it is hard and there is no time to take care of it, it interferes and annoys - but it's a pity to throw it away. Believe me, with such a gift you will be remembered every day. But not at all with kind words.
