2. Hatch Rest Go
A restful baby equals a restful parent, and the Hatch Rest Go portable sound machine helps create the perfect sleep environment anytime, anywhere. Clip it on your stroller, place it next to your travel crib, or toss it into your diaper bag when you’re on-the-go. Featuring 10 of your little one’s favorite sounds, it helps soothe your little one to sleep effortlessly. This gift is ideal for parents wanting to set up consistent sleep patterns for their little one from day one.
3. Kindle Paperwhite
The Kindle Paperwhite is a thoughtful gift for new parents looking to unwind with a good book during rare quiet moments. With its paper-like display and weeks-long battery life, it’s perfect for reading anywhere, anytime—whether it's during naptime or on the go. Waterproof and lightweight, the Kindle Paperwhite makes reading accessible and easy, giving parents a little escape in their busy days.
4. Meal Delivery Gift Card
Adjusting to life with a newborn can make mealtimes challenging, so a meal delivery gift card is a lifesaver! Blue Apron offers fresh, ready-to-cook meals that bring restaurant-quality dishes to the home. We love Blue Apron because of the wide variety of meal choices and ease of the recipes (work smarter, not harder).
For the days when cooking is too much, a DoorDash gift card lets them order from their favorite local spots with just a tap. This is a practical and thoughtful gift that will provide some much-needed ease during those first busy months.
5. Nespresso Vertuo
Every new parent needs coffee and Nespresso is a great gifting option. The Nespresso Vertuo offers a range of coffee styles at the touch of a button—from smooth espressos to full-bodied coffee. With its advanced brewing technology and one-touch simplicity, Nespresso gives new parents the boost they need for those early mornings and late nights. A stylish and practical addition to any kitchen!
6. Oura Ring
At Owlet, we’re big fans of sleep! As your little one adjusts to naps and bedtime, it’s also important for parents to get good quality rest. The Oura Ring is perfect for parents looking to keep track of their own wellness. This sleek, comfortable ring tracks sleep patterns, heart rate, and stress levels—vital data for new parents often running on limited sleep. It’s a gift that helps them prioritize their health while they’re busy caring for their newborn.
7. Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced
Mixing formula can be a hassle, but the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced baby formula dispenser takes the stress out of feeding with the push of a button. This machine automatically mixes and warms formula to the perfect consistency, making it a game-changer for tired and busy parents.
8. Theragun Elite
The Theragun Elite by Therabody is a thoughtful gift for parents who could use some quality self-care. It’s a top-of-the-line massager that offers much-needed relief for sore and achy muscles. The quiet motor and customizable speed settings make it ideal for new parents needing a quick moment of relaxation and recovery. It’s perfect for easing the tension that often comes with the demands of parenthood. You can thank us later.
