I know there’s probably a baby boom amidst friends when they hit a certain age, but every social network update seems to feature a sonogram of bouncing babies-to-be, announcements about imminent pregnancies, or news and photo updates on those aforementioned new bundles of joy.
So many congratulatory gifts to buy – so little time! I’ve been to the hospital for new births of close friends at least 7 times this year (not to mention baby showers), and thus, I’ve picked 3 gifts for those newborn cuties that are in my “tried-and-true” arsenal.

Megabloks Large Classic Bag
Exceptional set at a great cost! I discovered later that there’s actually a downloadable app for these toys that gives you orderly guidelines on building an assortment of items -- creatures, planes, and so forth. The pieces are ideal for small hands and make an incredible gift for baby boys – they can continuously play with them for years to come and there’s no age-limit on how much fun can be had. I’ve even found myself playing with these building blocks on more than one occasion! It’s like a bonding experience between baby and you. Additionally, I love the pack! No squandered bundling, only a zippered pocket for simple storage.

Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Sooth and Glow Seahorse
This seahorse is a radiant evening companion for toddler -- literally! He's illuminated from the inside. When a child's bedtime buddy is cuddled, his stomach delicately sparkles and he plays over 5 minutes of music and sea sounds. The musical selection features 8 well-known children's songs and popular lullabies, on top of peaceful renditions of the ocean's underwater sounds – which incorporates 2 sea tracks. 5 minutes later, the sounds and lights will fade away gently, lulling baby into a sense of safe slumbering.

Vtech Move and Crawl Ball
Loaded with amusing playthings and features for baby to pull, press, spin, and feel, the Move & Crawl Ball presents numbers, shapes, colors, animals, and an assortment of sounds to keep miniature cuties happy. Occupied toddlers will paint the town with their elated giggles because this knickknack is also an amazing on-the-go travel toy for backseat fun. Play familiar kid-friendly tunes, give the ladybug a twist, or mash the glimmering light! With its sensor, the gadget wobbles, weaves, and wiggles each time a baby laughs in delight.
