If a replenishment of the family is planned in a family of friends, then this is a real holiday. And a big event happens when you are invited to be discharged from the hospital. Here imagination immediately turns on, and you are trying to come up with what you can give your friend for the birth of a child?
In such a situation, you want to figure out something special, extraordinary, something that others do not have. But usually in the first years of a child's life, there are not enough simple everyday things: time to sleep, minutes to calmly drink coffee or just go to the cinema with her husband or girlfriend.
Jewelry gift for many years
If you want to present something memorable, then take a look at a piece of jewelry. This could be:
- pendant;
- chain;
- bracelet;
- earrings;
- incense;
- spoon for the baby.
Today, gorgeous rings appeared on the shelves of jewelry stores with children's design... For example, with a footprint or nipple print. But, as a rule, husbands give such presents to their wives, so you need to think something else.
You can give a pendant to a young girlfriend with a baby. Look at the wonderful products in the form of: angels, butterflies, flowers. Such decorations will always remind you of the day of a great event.
If you want something themed, then you can present a pendant with a pacifier, a miniature stroller, the date of birth of a baby, or even in the form of the first letter of a child's name. Your girlfriend will definitely like it.
For good luck, you can give a pendant with the image of a horseshoe, clover flower, frog, stork or owl.
A mandatory attribute of discharge from the hospital is a bouquet.
A pendant in the form of a little thumbnail, a tiny girl, a princess with a crown, or simply in the form of a crown can be presented to a friend for the birth of a girl. Such a present will definitely bring joy and, perhaps, over time, mom will give it to her princess.
As for the earrings, it is worth giving something reliable. At first, the mother will not be busy with herself, but with taking care of the offspring. Therefore, if you want your present to be worn, then it is worth giving:
- stud earrings... They look great, they are securely attached to the earlobe, do not cling to clothing and will not come off if the child pulls on the ear;
- jewelry with english lock... These accessories are also quite reliable. It is difficult to unfasten them if the lock is working properly, and they will definitely not get lost in the mother's everyday life;
- loop ear hooks are also suitable, but if they are additionally attached to the base of the earring with a hook. Take a look at your nearest store to see if you can find something suitable.
Chains you can also give your friend for discharge from the hospital. But remember that the long chain will be constantly in the attention of the baby. During the period of active exploration of the world, the cub tries to experience everything that surrounds him. Moreover, he can make out what can be pulled, and what is "expensive". Therefore, if you decide to buy just such a present, then do not be surprised if at first your girlfriend will not be able to wear it.
If you decide buy a bracelet, then choose just such a thing that has a good reliable fastener. In the first period, mothers often wash, wash a lot and constantly work with their hands. It will not work to take off and put on the bracelet for any reason, since there is a great chance of losing it. You need an accessory that will reliably sit on the brush and will definitely not fly off during household load.
It is better not to buy jewelry with stones.... Pebbles will not tolerate a huge amount of housework or kitchen chores. Minerals, even artificial ones, do not like a lot of moisture, chemistry, and especially ironing, which has a lot to do. These items are best reserved for special occasions.
Ladanka is considered an excellent and very correct present.... Such a thing will become not just an ornament, but a real talisman for the mother and her baby. Usually incense is given with the image of the icons of the Virgin:
- Vladimir... This incense protects against big conflicts in the family, at work, and even among friends;
- Seven-shot... This icon protects from magic, witchcraft, conspiracies, corruption, evil people and gossip;
- Kazan... She is considered the patron of all small children and those in need;
- Pochaev... This image helps in family problems, protects the home and hearth from enemies and envious people;
A good amulet for mother and child is one of the most wonderful gifts for discharge from the hospital.
- "The Tsaritsa" ... It is believed that this icon can protect from the evil eye and witchcraft, instruct on the righteous path and strengthen faith and hope in a happy future .;
- "The Omen" ... This image gives protection from ill-wishers, criminals, helps to recover from serious illnesses;
- "Joy of All Who Sorrow" ... Helps with recovery from any disease, including incurable, heals mental suffering, patronizes newborns, orphans, poor people.
If you want to take care of the health of the child and mother, then you can give beautiful natural stone beads... For example, in the old days it was believed that amber very much helps newborns in the first months of life. This stone raises immunity, relieves inflammation, helps in wound healing, relieves colic in the tummy, helps the baby and mother get a good night's sleep.
What memorable friends give for discharge from the hospital
A great gift is album for your girlfriend's baby photos... It can collect a complete collection of the earliest memories from life. And to make the present the most unexpected. Write down and print on postcards your friend's brightest pregnancy memories. Most likely you have been told all this. For example:
- at what point did your friend hear the first pushes in the stomach;
- at how many weeks did the child begin to react in the stomach to the mother's voice;
- how the child reacted to dad;
- how you chose the stroller, the crib and the first rattles.
Yes, of course, all this can be done and recorded by the newly-made mother, but at first she does not have time for this.
Give a girlfriend for the birth of a boy a typewriter in the form of diapers... On the one hand, such an unusual present will leave a huge amount of memories. On the other hand, diapers will always be in short supply at first, so such a present is both pleasant and useful.
It will be a good gift photo session for baby... Usually, such a survey is carried out in the first weeks of a baby's life, since he is able to fall asleep in any position and in any atmosphere. But first ask how the newly-made mother feels about such things, otherwise you will just throw money down the drain.
You can give a girlfriend for the birth of a son beautiful suit with a tie or bow tie, in which the cub, for example, will be able to celebrate its first or rather second birthday. For a girl, respectively, you can purchase beautiful dress and a bow on the head with an elastic band... It will only be difficult to guess with the size, but if you buy a little more things, there will be no problems. The outfit can always be hemmed if necessary.
A keepsake should evoke a lot of emotions and pleasant memories and the first day of the life of a little tiny person.
Casket... The child grows very quickly. And moms really want to keep some things associated with great joy:
- girl's first dress;
- pacifier;
- the first bow or bow tie;
- the first shoes or shoes.
All these things must be stored somewhere "elegantly", so that in a couple of years, at first, and then after all 10, you can get the precious box and enjoy the memories to your heart's content. So, if you decide to present just such a thing, then remember a few nuances:
- the box must be large;
- the product in the middle should be upholstered with soft fabric;
- the lock of the safe must be closed either with a latch or with a key;
- fastening the lid to the main part of the box should work easily without squeaking.
You need to choose universal model of the box... Typically, these vaults resemble medium-sized boxes (0,5 mx 0,3 mx 0,3 m), which have no internal compartments or tiers, but only one compartment and a lid. Such models of boxes are suitable for storing absolutely any objects and products: things dear to the heart, jewelry, accessories and other little things.
Music boxes... These objects are valuable directly in the innermost mechanism, which reproduces the sounds of a melody in combination with the movements of the outer figurine. There are music boxes with a small bottom compartment for storing jewelry and other items.
Necessary gifts
The necessary gift for mom will be nothing more than minute of free time... Offer a friend a certificate for help. As strange as it sounds. For example, say that your girlfriend can call you at any time and ask for help:
- walk the child in a stroller;
- prepare something to eat;
- clean the apartment;
- to wash the dishes.
There can be a huge variety of options here. But imagine how pleasant it will be for your loved one if, at the first call, you arrive with pizza, delicious tea and a mop under your arm.
You can give a daughter or son for the birth certificate in a beauty salon... This gift will never be forgotten. The hormonal background after childbirth “sings and dances”. And usually a woman needs several months to recover. But you have to be beautiful not once there, but right now. Therefore, a certificate for facial cleansing, various cosmetic procedures, or even just a manicure is very necessary.
Invitation to the visit of a manicurist... If you want to make a surprise, then give your new mom a visit from a manicurist. You can even more than one. But remember that in this case, all the woman should have time to sit quietly and enjoy the procedure. Therefore, the child should be under the supervision of some adult: dad, grandmother or, for example, a nanny.
Do not give gifts that hint at the imperfection of your girlfriend's figure and beauty, for example, a certificate for a gym. Can be offended.
Changing table or board... Often women try not to buy such pieces of furniture, since they take up a lot of space in the house, but are needed only for half a year. But on a changing table or a board laid across a crib with a lack of space in the apartment for a separate table, it will keep my mother's back, already loaded with chores and carrying an infant 24/7 on herself. In addition, the entire set of hygienic items for the care of babies (creams, diapers, cotton pads, combs, shampoos, etc.) can be installed on the changing table, which is also very convenient.
If your girlfriend keeps pace with the times and adheres to fashion trends, then a special slimming postpartum underwear will become an actual gift for her. In it, she will quickly restore her figure and her physical activity.
Postpartum Bandage must be put on as early as possible... It is best to do this in the first days after childbirth, if there are no contraindications, and with the consent of the doctor and on the day of childbirth. The postpartum bandage creates compression and allows you to quickly restore the muscles and skin of the abdomen to tone, improves the silhouette in the hips and buttocks, hiding figure imperfections in the postpartum period. Also, this piece of clothing helps to cope with stretch marks, if any appeared during pregnancy. The recovery period, during which it is necessary to wear a bandage, is somewhere around 1,5 months after the day of birth, so such a present for a friend will be very appropriate.
If your girlfriend has good sense of humour, then she can buy an interesting thing for playing sports to restore herself:
- sneakers;
- sport suit;
- videos;
- a bike;
- swimsuit for the pool.
But warn your friend in advance that it is impossible to get involved in sports after childbirth... This applies to a greater extent to women who are breastfeeding, as milk may disappear or have survived a cesarean. However, he hopes that the young mother will not have a huge amount of time for sports. After all, there are a lot of worries and every minute is valuable for rest.
A good gift is stroller... But if such a miracle vehicle is already available, then think about an infant car seat. This thing is indispensable at the moment, since you will have to travel with your child to the clinic and for vaccinations, and it is now strictly prohibited by law to transport children without special means.
Give a gift special bag for the stroller, in which you can fold everything you need including a thermos. These things are always in short supply, especially if mom loves to walk and does it for hours.
For a stroller, you can present special cup holder for coffee, into which a mug, thermos or ordinary paper cup is conveniently inserted. Such a thing will allow you to free your hands while walking, especially if the child squeaked, and mom urgently needs to put her coffee somewhere.
EBook will save that young mother who loves to read while the child is sleeping. This item will also help to diversify the walk. After all, babies usually sleep several times a day. If earlier it was possible to call a friend at any time, now it will not work that way. After all, everyone is at work, and no one will listen to how many times you went to the toilet in a diaper, and how wonderful you ate today. And the book is a real friend who will discover a new story and help you spend your leisure time with interest.
And even if you didn't like anything from our list, then just ask a friend a question head-on so that she would like to buy for herself. Perhaps the girlfriend has already matured a plan of "wanting", and she shamelessly order you something. If not, ask the husband of the woman in labor. Usually, the decree does not hide anything from men.
