Surprise Would-Be Moms and Dads Through Infant Accessories

Do you have friends who are all set to have a baby but have decided not to find out the gender yet? You can gift them unisex baby clothes. This is surely one of the best ways to help them prepare for parenthood and also give them a neat surprise.

Most baby clothing stores follow the old rules about pink clothes for girls and blue ones for boys. Hence, when you do not know the gender of the baby, it is best to pick up clothes in other colours like yellow, brown, white, blue and green. These colours are just great for both baby girls and baby boys.

When it comes to prints and designs, you just need to keep a general idea in mind by picking up neutral designs with stripes, small checks, geometric shapes, cartoons and animal prints. You can also pick up clothes with sports motifs like tennis, chess, basketball etc. Of course, do not pick up something very gender-specific like a football print t-shirt! Alphabet prints are a super choice too for baby clothes.

You need not stick to baby clothes alone when planning to help out soon-to-be parents. You can gift them accessories like baby hats, socks, jumpers, slippers, and burp cloths.

If your friends have already bought a whole lot of clothes, you can gift them something cute like unisex jeans, sweaters and jackets.

Unisex baby clothes also make a great gift, even if your friends, relatives and family members already have a baby and you know that they will be planning another soon. The clothes can easily be used for the next child. Particularly, gifts like baby bed clothes, coats, pram covers, blankets and snow suits can be expensive to buy a second time over.

If you are looking for discounts then online deals, season sales, etc. are an easy way to buy more for less. There may be people in your neighbourhood who may like to free up space in their house by selling off used clothing or toys that are not worn out. You can check with your local club or the newspaper classified advertisements for these deals.
