Indulge in Thoughtful Baby Gifts

With a new baby in our family, we’re more in-tune to infant gifts than ever before. All those friends who had babies and I sent cashmere cable-knit booties must have thought I was crazy and impractical, but now I’ve learned. Washable! Chewable! Bright contrasting designs! These are the elements of a successful baby toy. Onesies (aka baby-gros) can have the same qualities, plus full frontal snapping or zipping. So, here is my list of lesson-learned baby gift ideas that will have any new mom or dad thinking you are awesome.
