We share funny baby gifts for new parents all year around here, so why not create an entire category for our favorite funny baby gifts in our Baby Gift Guide? And so we did. I mean, what new parents can’t use a good laugh during some of the most anxiety-provoking, sleepless weeks of their lives? (Not to bring the vibe down or anything.)
Yes, you can find a zillion sassy onesies everywhere you look, or lists of “funny baby gifts” on websites where it looks like they just did a quick search and picked the first 10 things that came up. (Ahem.) As for us, we spent a whole lot of time seeing what made us laugh. You might notice we tend to lean toward those funny baby gifts that are a little more clever, a little more unexpected, and a little more wry.
With that, please enjoy our picks for the baby gifts that make us laugh, make us smile, make us want to run right out and get one immediately. Now, who’s got a baby to shop for?
