A little baby has just been born and you would like to spoil his happy parents with an original gift  to celebrate the birth of this little boy . As a mother of 2 children, I have been lucky enough to experience the extraordinary magic of birth twice; but also to receive many gifts from my loved ones, more or less useful and original, and am therefore happy to present to you in this article my top 12 original birth gifts for a boy .

Why choose an original gift for the birth of a boy?

When a baby arrives, especially if it’s their first child, parents need a lot of childcare equipment, but they will probably have already done what they need to equip themselves (by buying new or opting for second-hand products for ecological and economical reasons). The same goes for clothes for the baby’s first months, which parents generally buy during pregnancy (so as not to be caught short in the event of a premature birth) or collect from family and close friends who have slightly older children.

Now that this little boy is born, it is important to look for an original birth gift for several reasons, which are as follows:

find a gift that the parents will not already have equipped themselves for: avoid items for bathing, meals, outings, rest, etc.

avoid giving a gift that the parents have already received, sometimes several times (from experience, we generally receive at least ten cuddly toys, 2 or even 3 Sophie la Girafe toys, etc.),

not to make a mistake when choosing a garment: it is difficult to know what style parents like, what they already have and especially to choose the right size for the season knowing that it will be different from one baby to another (depending on their weight and height) and that brands are small for some, large for others… a real headache,

offer a gift that will make an impression through its symbolism, its personalization, its original design,

choose a birth gift that will be useful for the parents and their baby, and why not keep it for years by the family.

Original birth gift for a boy: for his memories

Here are some ideas for an original birth gift for a boy : accessories to create and preserve his childhood memories such as a chest, a birth box, a baby photo album…

His personalized memory trunk

We’re starting off this list of original gift ideas with a French concept you may be familiar with: the baby library. This pretty trunk, invented by two mothers to gather, preserve, and recount precious childhood memories, will serve parents from birth and accompany this little boy throughout his life, since he will then be the one to decide what deserves to join his precious treasures.

Inside the trunk, with its 2 boxes and 3 cotton pouches, parents can store all the important items: the baby’s birth or christening outfit, baby’s favorite toy and book, their most beautiful drawings, their class photos, the cuddly toy they chose from the ten they received, the pair of shoes they wore for their first steps, the newspaper from the day they were born, etc. The advantage of this trunk is that each family can keep whatever they want in it; the names of the souvenirs are not noted, so everything is welcome, from the most traditional souvenir to the most original object.

In addition to its decorative storage function in the baby’s room, the baby library will above all be a wonderful pretext for moments of sharing between parents and child, to explain the anecdote hidden behind each object and, ultimately, show him that he has always been loved.

The childhood memory trunk is undoubtedly a symbolic, useful, and lasting baby boy gift , which you can also personalize with the little boy’s name. A guaranteed wow effect when you give it.
