A gift guide for new parents
You know what is hard? Being a parent. You know what is even more difficult? Being a parent for the first time.
Most presents for new parents are child focused, which is great, but many mammas, pops, and zazas out there could use a gift as well. They may not ask for it–but trust me, parents need something for themselves.
I tagged up with my friends who are parents to see what their ideal gifts were during the first few months of parenthood. A few are children focused and many are parent-centered. Below is what they suggested.

A friend of mine, Silvia, told me, "As a new mom, you learn right away all the nesting you did was essentially pointless. I didn't need half of what I thought I did." However, she did find out what she as lacking shortly after her daughter was born. She recommended three gifts for new moms that they need, though they may not know it yet.
And there you have it, a list of gift ideas for new parents, recommended by current parents. Hope you found some useful options in this post! Special thanks to Silvia and Nichole for letting me pick their brain.
How about you? Are you a parent? What were the best gifts you received during your early parenting days?
