Between the essentials to prepare for the arrival of baby and the desire to give in to the call of all the cute things in the childcare section, you are not short of birth gift ideas. Don't keep them to yourself and share them with your loved ones by creating an online birth list . Enough to combine business with pleasure while avoiding any mistakes!
Preparing for the arrival of baby
Creating a birth list for young parents means actively preparing for the arrival of the baby. When you welcome your first child, you don't know much (or anything at all) about the world of childcare. The birth list allows you to plan ahead, sort out what you need and what you don't, imagine a new life as a family of 3, etc. Fortunately, there are very well-designed sites for creating and sharing your birth list. With the Mes Envies site, for example, you can list all your gift wishes, on the merchant sites of your choice and for free!
Avoiding flop gifts
Let's be clear, the birth list is also (and above all) a pretext to avoid any disappointment regarding birth gifts. Between duplicates, improbable gifts and those that are simply useless, prevention is better than cure. The birth list is a simple way to share your tastes and real needs with those around you before the baby arrives.
Lighten the budget
The bed, changing table and stroller alone have already cost you a fortune. The arrival of a baby requires preparation, including financially. Buying the essentials requires a real investment, especially if it's a first child. So ask those around you for a helping hand to buy you something to welcome baby even more comfortably. Baby sling , clothes to fill baby's wardrobe, swaddling clothes, blankets, it's up to you to find the pretty gifts!
To have fun
Are you dreaming of this magnificent diaper bag but would rather prioritize and invest in a good stroller first? No problem, add it to your birth list. It might catch the eye of a friend who will be more than happy to offer it to you. Don't hesitate to add a little decoration for the baby's room or a few bonus accessories. After all, it's the opportunity to list your desires. So treat yourself, you'll see if they find takers!
And if you ever run out of ideas for your birth list, you should find what you're looking for here !
