Cheap Baby Gift Ideas

MAKE YOUR OWN CHEAP BABY GIFT BASKET:
You never go wrong with giving a baby gift hamper, even if it is inexpensive. It's always a thoughtful and practical present. The new family will probably receive several baskets. But they will most likely all be filled with different goodies for baby. And in addition, cheaper basket items such as pacifiers, bibs, baby lotion, shampoo, socks, etc. are always needed in multiples and will be used up over time.
Making your own gift basket at an affordable price is easy, just see my best tips and saving recommendations here: how to make a cheap baby gift basket.

BARGAIN HUNTING:
Bargain hunt for nice but cheap baby clothes, baby accessories and baby gear.
Actually these tips are not only for those of you who are looking for a cheap baby gift but also for moms who are on the lookout for inexpensive baby clothing and baby accessories and want to save a few bucks. If you buy baby and kids clothing at the right time (that is 'anti-seasonal' and during clearance sales) you can get high quality for low prices. If you are lucky you can still discount that sale price with coupons. Read my full tips and expert knowledge: how to find the best deals on cheap baby clothes, baby accessories and baby gear.

IDEAS FOR FREE BABY GIFTS:
The least expensive presents sometimes can be the most thoughtful and appreciated. Once the baby is a few months old the mother and/or the couple are probably more than ready for some free time and relaxation in peace and quiet. And here come your coupons that cost you nothing but a little bit of your time. Give a babysitting gift certificate for the couple or for the mother only. Or, if you think babysitting will be too tough on you opt for helping around the house or the garden. See all my ideas here:

CHOOSE THE RIGHT ITEMS:
Buy cheap baby items or cheap baby toys that are affordable and nevertheless pretty.
Let me name but a few:

• Stuffed animals: some even come with sound inside. While baby is small he will enjoy listening to that funny sound. When baby is a toddler he will love trying to produce that funny sound himself and will be delighted once he is able to do so!

• Baby picture frames: parents can never have enough picture frames to hang up all those adorable baby pictures in their house. Later they come in handy, too when the kids start to do their first scribbles and drawings.

• CD with baby lullabies: let that baby fall asleep in no time and mummy and daddy will be ever so grateful for that! There's a vast number of baby lullaby CDs available - classical music (Baby Einstein series), Disney lullabies, rock renditions, instrumental lullabies, etc.

• Photo album for baby's pictures: new parents will have tons of cute pics and snapshots. Give a slip-in album and those adorable pics are stored in a safe and quick way, ready to be looked at for years to come.

• Baby books (board books, soft books or cloth books): start up baby's first library! Most baby books are affordable and will last for years. Thick or soft pages are the right material for little hands and they resist chewing and tearing, too. Well, most do... There are lots of great themes around, the kids' and my favorites are the classic 'Goodnight moon', everything of 'Maisy' by Lucy Cousins and the 'Happy Baby' books by Roger Pritty. Sometimes the books come as a special edition with a cuddly toy which makes a great (and cheap) gift, too. Baby books come in such a great variety and in so many themes that you surely will find a suitable one. In case you do not have any clue about baby books just browse amazon for ages 'baby-3'. Then sort by 'bestsellers' and have a look at the customer reviews.

DO IT YOURSELF:
If you are an artsy person - and even if you aren't - go for one of my recommendations on handmade baby gifts.
Nearly all of them are easy to make and are made of inexpensive materials, yet they make a nice and personal gift with that added touch of affection. Especially the plain diaper cakes are easy to make, the materials (diapers and ribbons) are very cheap but the 'cute effect' is awesome!

Whichever one of the above cheap baby gifts you choose, rest assured that your present will be appreciated and the new parents and baby will feel special in any case!
