9 Perfect Gifts for Parents 2020

Gifts for new parents

A new couple who just started their parenthood journey probably are very busy learning new things. Here are a few ideas of gifts that can save them time.

A meal subscription service

This idea is actually genius since prepping for meals can be time consuming. These meal subscriptions do the shopping, meal planning and prepping pre-measured ingredients for you every week. Green Chef is my favorite.

A diaper bag

A diaper bag is never a bad idea especially when gifting a new mom. There are a lot of cute diaper bags but this one from Freshly Picked is currently on a lot of mom’s wish lists.

For parents who love to cook

If those you’re buying gifts for love to cook, check out these ideas below. Parents who love to cook probably have a wish list of kitchen appliances with new technology. This is when the gifts below became very practical and useful.

Instant Pot® Duo Crisp™ + Air Fryer 8-quart Multi-Use Pressure Cooker

This is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté pan, food warmer, sous vide, air fryer, roaster, mini oven, broiler, and dehydrator all in one. That makes it the perfect gift for those who love to cook.

Instant™ Ace™ Nova Blender

This Instant™ Ace™ Nova blender would be the gift that parents want to have. It is very versatile, quick, and convenient with 9 smart one-touch programs and 10 manual speed settings.

The gifts of relax

Being a parent means hard work, and that’s why the gifts below will never be a bad option. I’m sure these gifts will add a big smile on their face this holiday season.

Legiral Le3 Massage Gun

This massage gun has over 7k reviews on Amazon with 4.7 stars. It has 6 massage heads and is rechargeable. This is the gift both mom and dad can use and love.

Spa Week Gift card

Gift card is also the idea that you can never go wrong. Get a $50 Spa Week gift card (that comes along with a $25 Bonus Card) at Walmart. This will be the gift a mom would love to receive.

Instant™ Pod™ Coffee Maker

You can make fresh brewed coffee or espresso drinks using this amazing machine. The Instant™ Pod™ Coffee Maker will be the best gift for coffee lovers.

Unique gifts for parents who have everything

This is the hardest people to buy gifts for, but just with a little creativity, you can easily find special gifts for them. Let’s take a look at these unique gift ideas below.

AeroGarden Bounty Elite

This is a smart, attractive, and powerful indoor garden that is compact and convenient. It’ll be the perfect gift for those who love to try cool gadgets out. You can grow both veggies and herbs with this smart indoor garden.

Google Hub Max

Lastly, this smart gadget from Google Nest will be great for those who don’t own one yet. Gifting someone the Google Hub Max means helping them to make their home smart.

Ultimate Bed Bath & Beyond Holiday Gift Guide

Posted in Holidays, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 16 Comments

This blog post is sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond but all opinions are my own

First off, I hope everyone had a fun Thanksgiving with family. Today is Black Friday and it’s the best time to shop for gifts in my opinion. I’m sharing some gift ideas for everyone in your family. The best part of this gift guide is that you can get them all in one place: Bed Bath & Beyond.

Before jumping into the gift guide, I personally think giving someone you love the Beyond+, a Bed Bath & Beyond membership is the best idea. It’s the perfect present not only for holidays but also for all of life’s biggest moments like graduation, wedding, moving, etc. This membership gives member a 20% off discount site wide.

Whether you are buying gifts for everyone in your own family (including yourself), or for relatives and friends, these items below are very practical that I know whoever receives them could use them everyday.

Now let’s get to the first gift list: Gifts For the Home. I put together a public gift board on Bed Bath & Beyond website that include all the items below where you can shop directly. Click the image below to see.

I have been using Nespresso VertuoPlus coffee machine and been loving it. It’s a gift coffee lovers will be excited to get

This 9pc set of King size bedding is super cute for Springs. It’s on sale now for about $40

This OXO POP Container set I’m sure anyone would appreciate so much because they are a little pricey but so worth the price. The lids of these containers each has a push button with an airtight seal, perfect for dry foods.

You can click directly on the “Gifts for the home” image to see details on all the other items.

The next group of receivers is the one that is hard to buy gift for: new moms. If you don’t know if they already have the item or not, or don’t know if the items below would work for their parenting style, then a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card would be the best option.

Otherwise, these gift ideas below would be very helpful for a new mom (or dad).

DockATot is one of the popular items moms put on their list. It’s the gift that helps making mom life a little easier. I recommend getting the Grand Dock (bigger size) so it would last through toddler stage.

The DockATot helps making transition and travel with babies/toddlers much easier. It’s that pricey item many moms put on their list but still hesitant to splurge. I’m sure a mom would very appreciate to receive this as a gift because it sure worth the price.

If you know they already have it, then click the “Gifts for new moms” image above to see details and shop other items.

Now let’s take a look at the next idea board. This one is so fun to buy gifts for: Pet parents. There are so many pet care items that a pet parent would need compares to the items they might already have.

A cat towel is never a a failed gift for cat parent. I got this Petmaker 4-Tier Cat Tree for my brother’s cat and he loves it.

Give the gift of clean to pet parents. A cordless vacuum would be amazing. This Dyson V7 Motorhead Cord-free Stick Vacuum would make a pet parent so happy.

There are so many cool pet items on BedBathandBeyond.com, a gift card is also a safe choice.

Lastly, I put together a list of amazing Stocking Stuffer ideas. Click the image below to see the whole board with details on every item.

If you decide to give someone a Nespresso coffee machine (listed above), then don’t forget to include a couple pack of Nespresso coffee pods. There are also many other flavors on Bed Bath & Beyond website.

This Silicone Oven mitten from OXO would be a cute useful gift for someone who loves to bake.

The HubPlus Portable Charger from myCharge is a great gift idea for both men and women. It’s compact and provides up to extra 45 hours of battery life.

4 boards above are my entire Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide that you could get everything all at one place: Bed Bath & Beyond. You can also give someone a BEYOND+ Membership which they can get 20% off every single order. Also, a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card will always be the safest choice.

I have shared my ideas, tell me yours in a comment below. If you did a gift guide, send me a link so I could go see it.

Happy Holidays

Kid Toys for Toddler

Posted in Holidays, Parenting, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Gifting is fun this Holiday season especially buying gifts for toddlers/kids. As a mom to a toddler, I found it to be so fun and magical for them to open the gifts.

Below is my top 10 picks. Hopefully it is helpful for someone who is looking for kid gift ideas.

1-Mystery box with Kinder Surprise Eggs giftguide3I made this idea for my daughter’s 2nd birthday and it was so fun watching her digging the box to find toys. So I think I would do it again this Christmas. Instead of makeup toys, 15 pieces of Kinder surprise eggs would be perfect. This idea is fun while doesn’t hurt your wallet. I bet kids who receive this will totally love it.

2-Learning Recources Puppy Play setgiftguide2My daughter loves pets. This set is great for her. It is simple and cute. It would make the best first puppy set for toddlers 2+ years old. Learning Recources also has a wide range of toys for all ages.

3-SoulSlings Doll Carriergiftguide6For toddlers who love dolls!!!!! This is the cutest item. I love seeing my daughter wearing her doll using this carrier, just like a mini me. I also have a matching actual toddler carrier which is also from the brand SoulSlings. Adding a cute little lightweight doll is perfect.

4-Kidzlane Piano Matgiftguide4This is a super fun item for 3+ years old. My daughter is a little too young to enjoy all the fun but she loves making random music with her little steps. If you are gifting this to a big kid at 4+ years old, I believe he/she will love it a lot.

5-Playfoam® Pals™ Snowy Friends 12-Pack giftguide8This has been what my daughter watching on youtube. She LOVES seeing others playing with PlayFoam and I know she wanted it too. It is so fun and sastifying playing with these. Yes even I do get attracted. Each pack has a cute animal in it which is the extra fun. Great for family with 2 or more kids.

6-USA Toyz – Snap N’ Glow Trax Light Racer Setgiftguide5This would be the best for boys. Girls also love it, for example my daughter. She will needs to be a little older to play with it longer so I would say it’s great for 4+ years old.

7-USA Toyz – Unicorn Play Tentgiftguide7Now this unicorn little play tent is the girls favorite. It folds compactly just like the size of that box in this pic, and pops up beautifully and roomy. Adding a little unicorn plush toy is perfect.

8-Cubcoats 2-in-1 giftguide1This 2-in-1 stuffed toy transformss into a jacket. How cool is that? It would be the item that both kid and mommy will love. So convenient for on the go.

9-MiniDiva Reborn Baby Doll giftguide9This doll is in new born size and weight. It looks just like a real baby with soft silicone arms & legs. It is the perfect gift for 2+ toddlers who loves playing dolls. Use my code XMAS15% for 15% off.

10-WoomBike – Woom 1 for Toddlergiftguide10This is the very high quality bike for 2.5+ years old. It does say for 1.5 to 5 years old but I personally think my daughter will master it at 2.5 or 3. Love that the seat height is adjustable. This is the great gift for active toddlers.

Those 10 items above are listed in ascending price. Hope that helps too. Any of those items I mentioned is already on your list? Do you have any other item you think must be added in? Comment down below.

Gifting doesn’t have to be overwhelmed, anything below in my gift guide is very helpful and whoever receive these will totally love them and use them a lot. So no matter it’s pricey or not, let’s take a look closer to 10 gifts hand picked by me !!!

 

AFFORDABLE GIFTS under $100

giftguide214) Trtl Travel Pillow

The genius travel pillow that everyone is talking about on youtube. They are super soft and hold your neck in a better position than a standard U-shaped travel pillow, while being half the size of a U-shaped travel pillow for easy carrying. Traveling especially traveling with baby is a challenge, giving this item to a mommy would make her holiday trip a little more relax. It’s $30, very affordable and reasonable.

5) Mountain Buggy Bagrider

Speaking about traveling with baby/kid, this amazing luggage is a must. It expands to a 2-in-1 luggage/stroller so your baby/toddler can sit securely on top of it while you’re easily pushing it around. That is the smartest idea. This luggage is $100 on Amazon.

 

 

FANCY GIFTS ($100 and up)

giftguide136) VTech VM4261 – Video Baby Monitor

This $150 baby monitor has 170-degree wide-angle lens that captures the baby as they crawl, play and explore around the room. It comes with a high-resolution, 4.3-inch color LCD screen that can pan, tilt and zoom the camera from the parent unit. It also has soothing sounds and lullabies; two-way, talk-back intercom; and vibrating sound-alert on the parent unit. Overall, this one is a good one that mommy will love.

 

giftguide157) Tula Baby Toddler Carrier (in Blossom)

I’ve been using this carrier a lot. My daughter Misa actually loves being carried and lots of the times she asked me to wear her. So I totally amazed by babywearing. I have the toddler size since Misa is a big toddler. It is $169 each. For new moms with new born babies, I recommend getting the Tula Baby Standard Carrier . There are so many cute prints to choose from. The standard size is $139 each.

 

giftguide118) Dockatot Grand in Carrara Marble

Many moms swear by Dockatots. I doubted it. But then I got it when she turns 1 years old and I regret that I hadn’t bought it when she was born. It is amazing and surprising how much Misa loves it. I don’t have to say much about this since there are tons of great reviews and youtube videos about Dockatot. I have the Grand Dock and recommend it over the Deluxe size. It is pricey so I think go with the bigger size would be a lot better.

 

giftguide12

9) Milo & Gabby Nap Mat

A set of sleeping bag/ nap mat is ideal for traveling with toddler. These adorable sleeping bags are designed to look like your child’s favorite Milo&Gabby animal characters, with useful details such as a removable duvet insert, detachable pillow and blanket, and a handy storage bag. These are also great to bring for preschool, daycare, and for overnight trips to grandma’s and grandpa’s. They are $168 each.

 

giftguide1910) JetKids BedBox

The one I show here in the photo is the classic one that is currently sold out. They have a new line with new colors and the same features which called BedBox® . The new colors are absolutely beautiful. They would make awesome gift for traveling moms with toddler. With this gear,  a standard economy seat is turned into a first class seat for children in 5 steps. You can click here to see how it works. This item is $200.

 

Those are the 10 items I believe a mom who receive them will be totally obsessed. Hope this gift guide is somewhat helpful during this gifting season. Also, this is my fist gift guide ever so hopefully you guys love it. Another gift guide for toddler will be up live Monday. Stay tune !!!
