When friends or loved ones have a baby, it’s a wonderful event! Every day becomes significant. However, friends have a problem: what to give a month-old baby? I want the present to be necessary and useful. It’s also good that it helps relieve the burden on young parents, because... With the birth of a baby comes a huge amount of hassle.
Rules for choosing a gift
To ensure that the girl likes your present, try to take into account her tastes and interests. Of course, it’s not easy to study all a girl’s hobbies in two months, but you probably already know about many of them. You can ask a couple of questions for clarification, but you just need to do this unobtrusively so that the girl does not realize that a surprise is being prepared for her.
Don't try to impress a girl with something expensive. You have only been together for 2 months and a gift that is too valuable can confuse the girl and make her feel obligated. If a girl accepts an expensive gift without a shadow of a doubt, perhaps she is only used to such things. Consider whether it will be affordable for you.
You should not give rings, even jewelry, after two months of a relationship. Usually girls perceive them as a marriage proposal. If neither you nor she are ready for such a rapid development of events, choose something more neutral.
When choosing a gift, be sure to take into account the age of the recipient. For example, a very young girl may be delighted by a soft toy, but most adult girls have no use for them. At the same time, try to ensure that the gift does not strongly hint at age; this may seem offensive.
And don’t forget that two months of a relationship is not the longest period of time and you can celebrate it without gifts at all. If everything goes well, you will be together for the rest of your life, and you definitely won’t be able to give something every month. Therefore, such small dates can be celebrated with a delicious dinner, a walk together or a romantic evening together.
Universal gifts for a girl
If you haven’t yet gotten to know a girl’s tastes very well and are afraid to choose something very individual, you can prepare a gift that will not leave any representative of the fair sex indifferent:
- Bouquet of flowers
. There are statistics that only 70% of girls like to be given flowers, while the rest prefer something more practical. But any girl will appreciate attention from her beloved, and a bouquet is precisely a sign that expresses feelings. In two months, you have already learned exactly what flowers your loved one prefers, so you can choose a beautiful composition. - Sweets
. A box of chocolates, a composition of sweets or an interesting cake will appeal to most girls. - Frame
. This is a cute and non-binding gift that will be a reminder of your little anniversary. You can print out a photo of you or her and put it in a frame. - Book
. If your girlfriend loves to read, then you probably already know her preferences, so you can choose the publication of your favorite author. - Vase or box
. These are cute souvenirs that also have practical uses. This gives hope that they will not gather dust on a shelf in the company of useless figurines.
Such gifts are suitable for a girl of any age and position. They do not require mutual “giving” and will cheer up your beloved.
The most romantic gifts for 2 months of a relationship
Your love is still in its infancy, so any romantic gifts will be very helpful. If you can sing a serenade under her window or write a love poem, that's just perfect. But those who do not have such creative talents should not be upset. There are many other equally romantic gifts, for example:
- Balloons filled with helium. You can write declarations of love on them or simply draw hearts.
- Live butterfly in a box. Such a gift would only be suitable for a girl who is not afraid of insects.
- Joint photo session. Photogenic and confident girls will love this gift.
- Portrait of a girl. You can order it from a street artist during a walk together or prepare it in advance.
- Launching a Chinese lantern. This is a very romantic and at the same time budget gift.
In addition, do not forget about one of the most appropriate gifts - a romantic evening. You can book a table in a cafe or restaurant, organize something unusual at home, or spend the evening in an unusual environment. A dinner in a park under the stars, on the roof of a skyscraper or in a greenhouse will definitely be remembered by a girl for a long time. You can also invite her to a movie or a concert.
When preparing a romantic evening, remember that this is a gift for a girl, so add her favorite dishes and drinks to the menu, music and table decoration should also match her tastes.
Inexpensive gifts for a girl
What to do if you don’t have enough money for an expensive gift for your beloved girl, but you really want to congratulate her? You need to make every effort and imagination and come up with something stunning. The worst thing you can do if you have no money is to buy a tacky trinket from your local newsagent.
Don’t be afraid to give homemade gifts, even if they are not of very high quality. The main thing is to put your soul into your gift.
The simplest and most inexpensive gifts for a girl:
- Ice flowers
. Take a beautiful bouquet or one flower, place it in a suitable container, fill it with clean water and freeze. When it’s time to give, the ice block must be removed from the mold and packaged. But keep in mind that you won’t be able to take such a gift far; it melts quickly. Therefore, it is best to give it immediately before a romantic dinner and immediately place it in a suitable container. - Box of love
. Take small pieces of paper, preferably colored, and write confessions and just kind words on them. Now every time she gets sad, your girlfriend can read something nice. - Personalized chocolate
. To do this, you will need an ordinary chocolate bar, Photoshop skills and a printer. It’s enough just to take a photo of a girl and use it to make a wrapper for a chocolate bar, which is then printed and used for its intended purpose. - Photo collage or composition of photographs
. You can make it in any graphic editor, or using scissors, glue and whatman paper. Choose which method is closer to you and start creating. - Sweet composition
. You can take several different sweets, small chocolates and cookies in separate packages, attach them to wooden skewers and fold them into a bouquet.
Such gifts will not require significant financial expenses, but they will definitely please the girl, as they will be made especially for her, taking into account her tastes.
Now the baby has grown up - for two whole months! Surely there are already many family stories about how he funny sneezes and sweetly smacks his lips in his sleep. And he also knows a lot - hold his head up, concentrate his gaze, smile... It's time to think about making his life truly bright.
Gifts for children can be roughly divided into those that are given to the children themselves, and those that are given to parents with parting words. The number of the first is most often directly proportional to the age of the baby: the smaller the baby, the more difficult it is to choose something really for him. Let's try to choose from both types of gifts.
For the baby
Now the baby is beginning to be interested in the world around him: he listens to sounds, examines moving objects, and loves to “talk” with adults. This activity should be encouraged in every possible way. Therefore, as a gift for your baby, you can choose a mobile (a small carousel with toys that hangs from the crib). It’s good if you buy several of these gifts at once - this will contribute to the rapid development of the child. Let one carousel be with soft light toys, another with bright rattles, a third with pictures, etc.
For children of this age, a wonderful gift is an “educational rug”: an insulated rug and toys suspended above it. Here it will be easier for the child to explore the world around him (even if only within the confines of his room), he will quickly learn to roll over from his back to his stomach and back.
Surely the baby will really like the music. Nowadays there are many different “audio systems” for babies, some of them, for example, are attached to the crib and soothe the child with lullabies. You can give him a disc with quiet melodies, which are so pleasant to fall asleep to, or you can present him with a collection of children's songs sung by the children themselves (even at the age of two months, the baby will happily “sing along”).
Now the baby is beginning to be interested in toys. It's time to buy some bright and loud rattles for him. Since their cost is usually not too high, you can buy a whole “set” as a gift: let the parents give the baby one toy, then another - and soon he will learn to distinguish between them.
A great gift today would be clothes. Many children only at this age begin to dress in shirts and rompers, having previously been content with only undershirts and diapers. Don't be afraid that there may be too many donated clothes. As practice shows, the baby will cope perfectly with a mountain of clothes (it’s a pity, then it won’t be so easy for mom to wash and iron all this). By the way, diapers (pampers) are always a very welcome gift: the baby feels much more comfortable in them, and the parents feel calmer.
By the second birthday, the baby enjoys swimming more and more. Therefore, you can give a self-created bathing set. Let it include foam shampoo, herbs for brewing (motherwort soothes, the herb relieves skin irritations), oils (lavender helps you fall asleep easier and sleep more soundly). You can also present a set after bathing - cream, oil. To avoid making a mistake with your choice, consult with a sales consultant (or discuss all potential gifts with the baby’s parents in advance).
If your baby is breastfeeding, then a nursing pillow will be very useful for him and his mother. Maybe the mother needs to go to work or run errands, then a breast pump and a set of sterile containers for freezing breast milk will save the situation. If you know that your baby is bottle-fed, bottles and pacifiers are a good gift. Of course, usually parents buy them themselves, but sometimes a set of more “progressive” items will help both the child and the parents sleep more peacefully (for example, special silicone nipples help the child not to smooth out the air during feeding, and, therefore, avoid colic in the tummy).
In this case, by the way, it would be quite unusual to give an envelope with a certain amount and catalogs or business cards of the best stores.
For parents
The baby is developing, making mom and dad happy with new achievements. Now a book with recommendations for “additional” baby care: massage, swimming, early development can be a very useful gift. By the way, after consulting with the baby’s parents in advance, you can give him a massage course, which strengthens his muscles well and promotes development.
Since by this age the child walks more and more (depending on weather conditions, of course), you can give his mother (and father) a baby sling - a special “patchwork holder” for babies. Thanks to it, it will be easier for the parent to go out somewhere with the baby, and besides, the mother will be able to do household chores, and the child will listen to her heartbeat and behave much calmer. There are many varieties of such slings: there are slings with rings, slings-scarves, and slings, their prices vary depending on the fabric from which the sling is made and the manufacturer. If your eyes wander, consult the baby’s mother or a child care instructor.
A useful and completely unusual gift for a breastfed baby would be a “basket” with all sorts of “goodies” for his mother. Naturally, hyperallergenic foods like chocolate or honey will not fit there, but adding more fruits, herbs and various “correct” dishes is very worth it. The vitamins that your baby will receive thanks to you will help him grow healthy.
All sorts of technical assistants for parents would be the right gift. If the spouses have not yet purchased a baby monitor, a sterilizer and a bottle warmer, then give them them: of course, you can always do without something, but why refuse something that makes life much easier? If this gift costs more than the one you were originally going to buy, simply “split” its cost with other friends.
A good gift would be something that the family really lacks. Ask if you might need to buy a car seat for your baby? Or a mobile changing table that can be placed on the sofa in the living room and on the parent’s bed in the bedroom? Or maybe you are missing such a little thing as a “slide” stand for swimming? So give the baby exactly this, and give the parents joy and peace of mind from the knowledge that their baby really has everything.
The article will help you decide what to give a 2-month-old boy, since it is not always easy to choose the right thing for such a baby. Therefore, here we describe the most optimal options that both parents and children will like. After studying the article, the problem of choosing the right gift for a two-month-old baby will be solved.

What to look for when buying baby products
Of course, you want the gift to please you for a long time, so you should approach this matter wisely.
Very strict hygiene requirements are imposed on children's products. They must be hypoallergenic and free of harmful and toxic substances. Therefore, it is desirable that the product has a certificate of compliance with hygiene standards.
- Toys should not have a strong odor or stain your hands. This is a sign that they are made from low-quality raw materials.
- Musical toys should make soft, pleasant sounds. Classical music is very useful for children. Sharp noises can greatly frighten a baby.
- Colors should be natural, natural. It’s better not pastel, saturated. The child is recommended to purchase items in red, yellow, orange, blue, green, light blue and purple. White and black are also used. Excessively bright “neon” shades are undesirable.
- You can buy beautiful toys for your child. It’s good if the animals have smiles on their faces.
- Small objects should not be given to small children, because... they may swallow or inhale them and block their airways.
Baby clothes
The most common and most practical option that comes to mind is one of the first. And it's really not bad, because... Babies at this age grow very quickly. What is suitable for a one-month-old baby is hopelessly inadequate after just a few weeks. This is not the only reason why there is a constant shortage of clothes. It becomes unusable, it needs to be changed and washed often... Therefore, new things are needed literally every month.
You can give your child diapers, rompers, shirts, and T-shirts. It is best to ask your parents what wardrobe item you need. For example, in cold climates, warm suits, knitted or flannel, are in demand. If the item is too big, then it’s not a big deal, because... The baby will quickly grow to her size.
Bathing set
You can buy it ready-made or assemble it yourself. For example, a corner for a newborn made of terry cloth and towels or a soft pole. Older children love to swim with toys, although children are also entertained by bright objects in the water. The set can also include special detergents and care products for small children.
Mobiles for the crib
A music mobile can be a great option for those who don't like or can't sing. You need to choose pleasant and quiet music. Then this will be one of the best lullabies.
Mobiles are often supplemented with projectors. It will be very interesting for the child to lie down and look at the objects moving above him.
Rattles
One of the items that can keep children occupied for a long time. Therefore, if there are several of them, then this is even good. Modern toys can be multifunctional: they can rattle in different ways, shrink, have movable elements, etc.
Soft constructor
For children aged 3-4 months, its role can be played by any large objects that can be folded in one order or another. Soft construction toys are especially good: they have large parts that cannot be swallowed, they are pleasant to the touch and have different shapes and colors. Consequently, motor skills, a sense of shape and color, and logic develop. This construction set gives a lot of sensations. Another undeniable advantage is that it is impossible for them to harm themselves and others. The toy can be used for other purposes, for example, an older child will sort parts by color and shape, which trains thought processes.
Rings
In many children's stores you can see sets of plastic rings. However, not everyone knows how to apply them. This is actually a very useful gift. The baby can spend hours connecting and uncoupling them, making and breaking chains, looking at shapes and colors. In addition, mom can use them to hang toys on the side of the crib.
Perhaps this is one of the first developmental kits that can be given as a gift as early as 3 months. This set will not lose its relevance for a long time. Children willingly play with rings at 6, 9, and 12 months.
Rubber and rubber toys
Essentials for Growing Teeth. Many toys now contain special pastes that soothe itchy gums. And in general, children love to “taste” the surrounding objects. Rubber objects can be bitten without any fear. You can also throw them, knock on the crib and look at them; some can make various sounds. Such toys are very “tenacious”; it is possible that a child will play with a rubber dog until he is almost 7 years old.
Carousel spinner
While the baby can only lie down, then at 1, 2 and even 3 months the child can be given various objects that can be attached to his crib. A great entertainment for children, especially those who need their mother's presence, is a carousel. It can rotate, some models play music. The child is interested in moving toys. At first he just looks at them. As I get older, I start to have enough. And this is the development of motor skills and coordination. Many children do not get tired of the fidget spinner until they are 6-7 months old.
When purchasing, you should pay attention to the possibility of replacing toys, because... the baby may want variety. It is also possible that it can disrupt or damage moving objects. Another criterion is the strength of the structure so that the child does not break it the first time he tries to grab onto the toys.
Developmental mat
When a child turns 2 months old, a special rug will be of great interest to him. There are arcs on it on which toys hang. A unique alternative to the carousel. In addition, you can play with other toys on the rug. When the baby is 4-6 months old, he will begin to try to rise and sit, holding on to the arches. And at 8 - try to get up.
Chaise lounge
A good gift for both mother and child is a chaise longue. Not only do various entertaining toys hang on it, but it also rocks the baby, thereby freeing the mother’s hands.
Baby monitor
It's more like a gift for mom. Two small walkie-talkies can become indispensable if the mother needs to go somewhere or mind her own business, and the child is left unattended. The principle of operation of the device is very simple: one radio is “receiving”, and the other is “reproducing”. Those. the first is placed in the same room as the child, it records sounds and transmits them to the second, which the mother carries with her. Thus, the parent always knows what the baby is doing. If you hear sleepy snoring, then everything is fine. If new, incomprehensible sounds appear, you can guess what the child is doing or go check on him.
There are simply countless cases when a radio nanny can come in handy. Starting from household elements (for example, when doing laundry and washing dishes, because of the noise of the water, you cannot hear what is happening in the next room) and ending with work in the country. It is very convenient if the child falls asleep in the house, but you need to do something on the site. You can quickly run to the store if it is nearby. Here you need to pay attention to the signal transmission range.
Jumpers
You can give jumpers to an older child of 7-8 months. They can last for a long time - up to 4-5 years. This kind of fun will keep your baby busy for several hours. He will have a lot of fun pushing off the floor with his legs and flying high into the air. Plus, it teaches you to stay upright and also develops your leg muscles. Many jumpers can be converted into swings over time. Parents will be happy to watch the baby's fun.
Gift for parents
At the age of two months, a child is just beginning to explore the world, so choosing a gift for him is very difficult. As a rule, such a little baby only needs a mother. Therefore, most often the gift should be aimed at making her life easier.
The most correct decision would be to directly ask parents about the need for a certain item. If parents are hesitant to express their needs, then you can safely choose a gift to suit your taste.
When choosing, you should not forget about some important rules. The price of the selected item can be very varied. This is determined by the financial capabilities of the donor himself. But in reality this is not so important. The love and care with which a gift is chosen is of particular value.
Budget gifts
Budget gift options are mainly gifts “for the soul”. This category includes:
- Kit for making a cast of
a baby’s foot or hand; - a paid gift certificate for the purchase of things or toys
in a children's store;
photo

,
sippy cup

set of children's dishes

- paid certificate for a photo shoot
; - swings
for small children; - household appliances
(for example, a steamer, blender or juicer); - bathroom chair

What criteria must a gift meet?
- Practicality. Those. Pretty trinkets are indispensable here. Things must be actively used.
- Age appropriate. Typically the division looks like this: 1-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 months. Also, many parents welcome a gift for their child “for growth”, i.e. toys and things that he can use in a month or two. Or even in a year.
- Benefit. It’s good if the toys are educational in nature. Or they will help keep the child occupied while the mother does the necessary housework.
At the first moment, when the need arises to buy a gift, it seems that it is impossible to find any suitable option. However, in reality there are many options.
Gift for a child
In order to please a small two-month-old baby, you can choose several options:
- A special toy pendant for a crib
, stroller or car seat in the form of a rattle, rustle or mirror. A wonderful toy for your baby that will help him not get bored and at the same time develop his motor skills.
Rattle in the form of multi-colored rattling toys
- A rattle
will rarely be superfluous, especially if it is made of high-quality materials. In addition, at this age, toys very quickly become uninteresting to children after full exploration. When choosing such an item, you should be vigilant, because children taste everything. It is important to note that there are no small parts that could come off and enter the respiratory tract. This is extremely dangerous. When choosing, you should give preference to bright rattles, but they should be painted in no more than 2 colors.

- An educational mat
is a really interesting thing for a two-month-old boy, which will help parents in their upbringing and development. - Rubber bathing toys are
included in the set, because very soon bathing will turn into a fun, funny game. - The tumbler
will bring the child a lot of positive emotions.
DIY gifts
This option is most loved by women who do needlework, because... they can knit or sew something not only for a month-old child, but also for an older child. These can be soft toys, booties, shirts, etc.
Men are completely wrong to dismiss such an idea, because... they have much more opportunities. For example, you can make simple wooden cubes or balls of different sizes. You don't even have to paint them. Then parents will be absolutely sure that the toy is environmentally friendly. Or you can make a mosaic from parts of different shapes and sizes.
