Life certainly changes fast after a baby arrives. If you’re looking for gifts for new parents, our picks will make their busy lives a bit more manageable. From diapering and bathing, to encouraging fussy little ones to get more sleep, any new mom or dad is sure to appreciate any of these items!

Nail Clippers

Newborn’s nails grow super-quick. To avoid scratching and possible self-injury, parents have to clip and file them on the regular. Babies aren’t really fond of manicures, either, so most parents have to quickly do it while they’re asleep.

That’s where bblüv Trimö Electric Nail Clippers come in! This revolutionary invention makes nail clipping easy and painless for both baby and mom or dad. They’re also safe to use, even when baby wiggles around. It also has a two-speed switch, so it can be as gentle as possible.

It makes a perfect gift for new parents who are struggling with baby manicures.

A Collapsible Bathtub

For those who have limited bathroom space, fitting all that newborn stuff in there can be a challenge. Many parents have to get creative and install new racks, hanging hooks, and much more.

This awesome collapsible bathtub from Stokke is the ultimate solution! In addition to being collapsible, and therefore, easy to store, it’s also lightweight and portable. The nonslip base and heat-sensitive plug mean baby will always be comfortable and safe.

Car Backseat Mirror

Once a baby is neatly tucked in her car seat, it’s still important that you can see her while driving. Since turning around isn’t safe, a backseat mirror is the perfect solution! It allows you to keep your eyes on the road, but still safely glance at your baby.

Many new parents struggle to get absolutely everything on their list, so they’re sure to thank you for a backseat mirror. This shatterproof mirror from So Peep is extra-large, convenient, and easy to install.
