New Baby Gifts

A friend or family member had a new baby, and you want to give her and her husband a gift, but what presents are appropriate? Gifts for a new baby need to take into account the needs of the parents and the child. A baby, for the first year, goes through new clothing, toys, and diapers very quickly. Because the child is growing, clothing that once fit becomes too small after three months, and certain toys are no longer challenging. Diapers, as well, become part of the parents' weekly budget and will be for the next two years.

Although certain toys and room décor are cute, think about what parents will need for their child when purchasing new baby gifts. But practicality shouldn't completely define the present, and whatever gifts for a new baby you choose, being fun and colorful is also important. In this case, diaper cakes are the perfect gifts for a new baby. Practical in function but attractive on the outside – have you seen a more brightly-colored cake outside of a wedding? – diaper cakes give parents a large starting supply of diapers for their child.

Aside from a colorful appearance, diaper cakes by Rattlecake consist of 80 to 150 diapers arranged in tiers. While ordinary diapers can be dull, Rattlecake dresses up each creation with a decorative exterior. Pink, blue, and other colored ribbons surround each tier, and assorted baby products, from clothing and blankets to bath items and teething toys, are added to the outside. Several gifts for a new baby are put together in one attractive package.

Diaper cakes are appropriate for baby showers, as well. If you are planning a baby shower or are invited, bring a diaper cake along and use it as a centerpiece. The decorative and bright exterior is sure to be the center of attention, and by the end of the event, the new parents will have a starting supply of diapers.
