His parents will love you forever!

Finding a gift for new parents and their bundle of joy is usually as simple as visiting their baby registry and selecting a practical item that you know they need. But what happens when the parents don't have a gift registry, or you're looking to give them a unique present that feels a bit more personalized? That's when choosing the perfect baby gift can be a little more complicated.

Of course, you want to make sure that whatever gift you're purchasing is going to be enjoyed by both the parents and the baby, but you also want to make sure your present is age appropriate (or, at the very least, it's something baby can grow into). Our expert gift-giving advice is to shop for a few smaller, more affordable gifts to give instead of one big-ticket item. This way, you can make sure you cover all your bases: You can choose a fun or unusual item, a practical item, and an item that's specifically for the parents, too. An added bonus of this approach is that even if mom or dad already have one of the items, it won't ruin the whole gift. (Just be sure to include the gift receipts!)

If you're shopping for a baby boy in particular and you're not sure where to start, here are dozens of parent-approved ideas to get you started, from luxury gift sets to practical items you can buy on Amazon.
