Gifts for baby boys don't come easy because it has to be special, useful and a million other things. Actually most of us don't remember what we liked as babies so how are we to know what would be a special baby gift to give a newborn male child? If you don't have a little baby boy of your own you won't have a clue as to what gift to buy when proud new parents invite you to celebrate the new addition to their family. So if your friends or family members are expecting a baby or have just had the good news delivered, be prepared with these gifts tips.

Gift Ideas For Baby Boys:

• Firstly you have to ask yourself, what do babies need? Always gift something that is useful to the baby. When a baby is born the parents have to incur a lot of expenses and they need whatever help they can get. Obviously, they are not going to tell you but you can ask them diplomatically what the baby needs.

• For example, ask them if they have already brought the crib? If they say no then you gift the baby boy a customised crib or cot for little boys.

• Walkers, rocking chairs and perambulators are also utility things that the baby needs and all parents have to buy. So can bank upon these unless the lucky boy has all of these.

• Depending on who you are gifting you can consider giving 'hand-me-downs' as baby boy gifts. If it is close family or friends they wont mind you gifting them used but good clothes, toys or even cribs for their baby. The deal is that things like prams and cribs have no use once the baby grows so why waste money when the old ones can serve the purpose just as well.

• Gifting clothes is also a good option but the baby will grow and you have to keep that in mind. Always gift bigger size clothes than the baby requires so that they can be worn in the future. Or else clothes outrun there utility very quickly.

• Special baby gifts include toys. Don't give him common toys like balls and bats. Everyone else is going to do just that. As a special uncle or aunt, give them intelligent toys like the abacus. It doesn't matter if the newborn cannot play with it immediately but it will be very useful in the future.

• Another great option for special baby gifts in giving baby care products. The baby boy will need loads of baby oils, creams, lotions and diapers. So gift the baby a set of baby products. Most baby brands like Johnson & Johnson or Fisher price offer special ensemble of products for gifting.

Use these gifting tips to get the best baby boy gifts and you could become their favourite uncles or aunts!
