These are the best maternity gifts under 25 euros
If a family member or one of your best friends has just given birth, you can’t wait to start admiring the baby.
Some brand-new families have the maternity visit all come by separately, others choose to throw a maternity party for family, friends and perhaps colleagues after a few weeks.

Whatever you are invited to, you cannot of course arrive empty-handed. A gift is inextricably linked to a maternity visit.
When it comes to a first child, you can make the new parents happy with all kinds of items. Think of diapers (such as a diaper cake), hydrophilic cloths, clothing or a cuddly toy for the little one.
Is it a second, third or fourth child? Then it becomes a bit more difficult, because there is a good chance that the parents already have all that stuff.
In that case you could have something nice designed in the style of the birth announcement, such as a block tower or a chair with the name of the baby. Also think especially of the brother (s) or sister (s) and bring a little something with you.
Are you looking for a nice maternity gift that is not only practical, but also affordable? We collected the best items under twenty-five euros for you:
Bathrobe
The first bath: an exciting moment for every baby. Then he can relax in this wonderfully soft bathrobe on mum or dad’s lap.
The bathrobe has a hood and a ribbon.

Shower glove
At the first shoot, chances are that the brand new parents do not yet have this shower mitt. And while it may look a bit strange, it is indispensable. Once you take your baby into the shower, the mitten will keep it firmly in your arms without slipping.
Buy the mitt here, in one of eight different colors.
Cups
Most visitors will provide clothing or toys that will come in handy in the first few months. With these cute cups from Liewood you are already getting ahead of ourselves, but then you do have a unique gift. As soon as the little one starts to learn to drink himself, it is a party in these silicone cups.

Fill-in book
From the first tooth to the first smile, this book allows parents to record every milestone during their baby’s first year. Precisely because it is so personal, this gift can also be great for the next child.

Milestone blanket
Speaking of milestones, every month is time for a little party, because the baby grows like crazy in the first year. And how nice is it for the parents to take a picture every month, so that they can see how he has changed on the first birthday of their sprout?
That can be a normal photo, but a series in the same style is of course great. For example with this milestone blanket with sweet elephants.
Buy it here.
Book for mom
Anyone who becomes a mother for the first time is green as grass. And then you can use a little help. This book – by three experienced experts – guides you through breastfeeding, broken nights and other ‘problems’ in an honest and humorous way.
A must-have if your sister or best friend has just had her first delivery.
Buy the book here.
Footprint
The hands and feet of the baby are so tiny after birth that the parents can no longer imagine exactly how small they were in the beginning. If you give them this package as a gift, they can make a clay print of all toes and fingers and keep it in a photo frame: a wonderful memory for later.
The photo frame comes with clay, a roller and instructions.
