FREE BABY GIFTS - GIVE A
COUPON AND LEND A HAND!

My ideas for free baby gifts do not cost you any money. They 'cost' your time instead. However, they may be great fun for you so your time won't really count. And they are great gifts since they relieve mom and dad from work! In the end the least expensive gifts often are the most practical and appreciated ones!
Give the new mummy or the new parents a gift certificate for your 'services' and they will be ever so pleased about your free newborn baby gift. Free for you, as it costs you not a penny, and free for them, as you give them some free time which is so valuable if you have a baby.

• Give a babysitting coupon
  Once the baby is a few months old the new parents might like to go out in peace and quiet. By then, they probably miss an uninterrupted romantic evening with dinner or to watch a movie without being disturbed by a crying baby. That's when your babysitting coupon comes in handy! The new parents can go out without to worry since they know baby is in safe hands with you. For a nice coupon either buy a greeting card and use it as your coupon or download this baby coupon template for free (note: 'Gutschein' is the German word for coupon, if you don't like this on your printout just cut off that bit on the side): free coupon template - babysitting. Write something like 'Babysitting coupon - good for 5 evenings of babysitting on me. Date and time according to prior agreement' on it. Put the coupon in an envelope and decorate with a ribbon and big bow.
  A babysitting coupon is a great gift, even if it is a free baby gift! I wish, somebody would have given such a babysitting gift certificate to me! And I know, every other mommy you ask will agree with me. All new mommies and families will be delighted about such a thoughtful gift.

  For that special girlfriend you can of course also do the babysitting just for her, during the day while daddy is at work - meaning she can go on a beauty treatment, for a manicure and pedicure or to the hairdresser while you look after the little one. If mummy wants the baby close by you can also accompany her and go for a walk with the newborn while the mother enjoys her spa treatment. Here's a gift certificate to download for that purpose (note: 'Gutschein' is the German word for coupon, if you don't like this on your printout just cut that bit on the side off): free coupon template - time-out for the new mom.
  Of course you can also give a babysitting coupon while mummy goes on a shopping spree - either for herself or for the baby... Or she might even just like to have time for a nap while baby is all yours!

  

• Give a household chores coupon or a gardening coupon
  Maybe you don't feel comfortable to babysit? Then why not help out in the household instead? There's so much to do and so little time with a newborn. Let the parents bond with baby while you prepare their dinner, wash the dishes, clean the kitchen and bathroom, do their laundry, do their grocery shopping, cut the lawn, do some unweeding... There are no limits when it comes to houskeeping and gardening and that's a great free baby gift indeed! Here is another gift voucher download for that purpose: free coupon template - do the laundry. Or if you want a more general theme for your coupon use the following template (note: 'Gutschein' is the German word for coupon, if you don't like this on your printout just cut that bit on the side off): free coupon template - tulips.

• Give a coupon booklet with a combination of all the above
  How about making a whole booklet with various vouchers of the above - for babysitting, household and gardening? You can find a very pretty download for that at kodak.com.

By the way, a babysitting coupon is also a nice idea to add to your baby gift basket.
And to conclude, let me, as a mother of 3 kids, again reassure you that free baby gifts in the form of a coupon really are a great present! Even if this gift does not really cost you something it is simply priceless for the parents. The first few weeks or even months after baby's birth really can be exhausting and the new parents will be happy about each additional helping hand! And since they know you they will feel more than ok to leave baby with you - rather than with a paid babysitter.
