Ergo Original Baby Carrier – $114.99

Personal “Gift Certificates” for Babysitting
One of the best gifts you can give new parents is the gift of time. New parents often get so wrapped up in their new little one, they forget to take care of themselves and each other. Give them an IOU for babysitting so they can take a night off (or a few) and spend some much-needed time alone together.
Gift Cards for Movies & Restaurants
Gift cards for date night activities are the perfect complement for babysitting vouchers. Help remind them that there are plenty of things to do outside of the house!
