Baby Gifts – Mealtime Baby Gifts

Published by Author at 6:00 am under Baby Gifts

Think a mealtime baby gift has to be dull, nothing but a practical item without style? Think again. There’s a whole line of mealtime baby gifts that combine utility and beauty.

If Dad (or Mom) is a big fan of NASCAR races you can add fun to the list of attributes, too. A baby bib and bottle provide the perfect canvas for a racing theme. Emblazoned with a checkered flag logo, the “Pit Stop” bib and bottle will give that little one an early start on becoming a fan as well. With text that reads “Caution – Frequent Pitstops” they also show a sense of humor.

Maybe you prefer a nature theme. Done. The silver-plated sippy cup sports a bear logo on the side, which provides a cup that is both lovely and practical. It offers a removable plastic liner and comes in a decorative gift box. The whole present makes for a practical item that will later become a keepsake kept forever.

For another lovely and practical gift, consider a pewter bowl and spoon. The material is perfectly safe and long-lasting. That provides a gift that can be given as a thing of beauty that is also useful. It can also be a decorative item kept for a lifetime and passed down to another generation. Available with butterfly or barnyard designs, it echoes a nature theme that many parents appreciate.

Continuing the combination of joining style with usefulness is the “Carryall Diaper Tote”. Made of 100% cotton canvas, it provides a sturdy tote that can carry dozens of bibs, diapers and accessories. That includes a changing pad, powder and more. With plenty of pockets, there are plenty of places to put all those needed items. Available in lime, blue and pink it makes for a great summer bag when heading to the beach or lake with the baby.

‘Style’ can also mean ‘cute’ and that defines the 3-piece ducky plate set. It comes with a duck decor cup, plate and bowl all neatly set in a hat box that will become a keepsake. The dishes are made from safe and sturdy melamine, so there’s no concern about breakage. The vintage hat box container is a great combination of traditional look and current fashion item so it will never go out of style.

Want something simple, stylish and practical? A 2-piece utensil set can be just the ticket. Sporting a royalty theme, the little prince or princess spoon and fork are practical items at mealtime that add a bit of style. Silver-plated with enamel highlights, they look like the tools of a young monarch. Arriving in a gift box of royal blue or pink, they make for a great gift.

For fun and function you can’t do better than an animal-themed 3-piece porcelain dish set. Painted with a drum-playing elephant and rabbit, and offering a frog who loves the cymbals, this fantasy set is a delightful gift. The set comes in a muslin carrying case that is equally a work of art. This gift will be a keepsake long after the baby has grown out of it.

Make mealtime fun and fashionable while you solve your dilemma of what gift to get for the new parents.
