A special board book

We found this cute a star is born bookmark for just $1.49 at Buy Buy Baby, which is a nice way to make a book more special. Or just a thoughtful card with the reason the book is special to you…that’s a keepsake in itself.

A DIY mom-time care package
Essential oils bath bomb | $6, Freshie and Zero
Not every gift has to be for the baby. Put together a new mom (or hey, new dad) gift complete with a bath time playlist, maybe a scented candle like the one below, a box of her favorite tea. Together, worth far more than the price tag.
