There is a baby on the way and you want to give a beautiful gift. The only catch is one small detail: you don't know yet if it’s a boy or a girl.
No problem.
In fact, you don't need to know the baby's gender at all to give a beautiful gift. With a unisex gift, you choose something that suits any baby and that the parents will hopefully really find useful.
But what do you give if you don't know the gender yet? Here you will find our favorite ideas.
What makes a good gender-neutral (maternity) gift?
In our view, a good gift isn't just beautiful when it’s unwrapped. It’s primarily something that is actually used afterward.
This is especially true for baby clothes.
Newborns grow quickly and parents often receive many gifts around the time of birth. Instead of yet another cute item that hardly gets worn, you can opt for a beautiful essential.
Think of a soft romper, a comfortable pair of pants, or a cardigan.
Choose colors and prints that don't feel specifically like boys' or girls' clothing, and you have a wonderful gender-neutral gift.
1. A beautiful wrap romper
New parents can never really have enough rompers.
Do you want to give something that is just a bit more special than a standard romper? Then choose, for example, a wrap-around model.
The Wrap Bodysuit by Besito Baby is designed so that the romper can be opened completely. You lay it down, place the baby on it, and then close it around the body.
The head therefore doesn't have to go through a neck opening.
A practical detail that new parents will likely find more useful than you might think at first glance.
2. Baby pants with a smart detail
A soft pair of baby pants is another gift that almost always comes in handy.
At Besito Baby, we have given that our own twist with The Modular Legging: a comfortable pair of baby leggings with detachable socks.
You attach the socks to the pants when they are needed and remove them when you don't need them, and one thing is certain: you won't lose any more socks.
No more searching for that one baby sock that mysteriously disappeared because your little one kicked it off while playing.
A small detail, but exactly the kind of detail that makes a gift extra fun.
3. A gender-neutral baby cardigan
A beautiful cardigan is a gift that parents often enjoy for a longer period of time.
It can be worn over a romper or shirt and is ideal for layering.
For a unisex gift, look at calm or unexpected colors that can easily be combined with other clothes. Butter Yellow, for example, is a trendy color, but is also very gender-neutral. A soft yellow shade that suits every child.
4. A complete baby outfit
Do you want to go a bit bigger? Then put together a complete outfit.
Combine, for example:
By choosing items from the same color palette, you give a set that parents can immediately wear together.
Extra nice: choose different sizes when you give multiple pieces of clothing as a gift. The smallest sizes are worn only briefly, so an item for a few months later can be very welcome.
5. A gift card if you really can't choose
Are you doubting the color, print, or size? Then a gift card is by no means a boring gift.
On the contrary: with baby clothes, it can be very nice when parents can choose for themselves what is still missing.
With the digital Besito Baby Giftcard, you give the parents the freedom to pick out their favorite item.
The gift card is available in different amounts and can be spent on all products in the webshop.
This way, you give something beautiful without having to guess which size or color the parents prefer.
What size baby clothes do you give as a maternity gift?
Size 50/56 is incredibly cute, but is usually worn for a relatively short time. Moreover, parents often already receive a lot of clothes in the smallest size.
Therefore, size 62 or 68 can be a smart choice for a maternity gift.
Do you specifically want to give something that the baby can wear immediately after birth? Then 50/56 is of course a logical option.
Gender-neutral does not mean colorless
When people think of gender-neutral baby clothing, they quickly think of beige, cream, and gray.
Beautiful, but certainly not the only possibility.
At Besito Baby, we love color and prints. Butter Yellow, Chocolate Bordeaux, Baby Blue Stripes, and Polka Dot are designed to be combined regardless of traditional categories.
Because a baby outfit should be practical, but especially fun and colorful!
A gift that has been truly thought through
Whether you don't know the baby's gender yet or are consciously looking for a gender-neutral gift: primarily choose something that the parents will find useful in their daily life.
A comfortable romper. Smart pants. A nice cardigan. Or the freedom to pick something out themselves.
At Besito Baby, we design baby essentials based on exactly that combination: practical enough for every day and special enough to give as a gift.
