Brilliant Baby Gifts for Registry-Less Friends

For those of you in your late 20s, you might agree with me when I say that baby showers are like weddings. And you’re either in the throes of wedding season, or in the throes of pregnant girlfriends and their showers. Historically, both also entail quick click, no-brainer gift registries. Recently, though, more and more expecting couples have taken a play-it-cool approach to registries, and don’t register for anything.

For my fellow baby-less 20-somethings, picking the perfect baby present is about as foreign as a diaper change. Do you take the sentimental keepsake approach and splurge on a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver rattle à la Charlotte York? Or do you opt for the more practical purchase, like a Bonpoint assorted sock set? Or a stack of Melijoe classic organic cotton onesies? Maybe you’ll make a real executive decision in useful gifting and get one of those baby carriers coincidently called MyCarrier by Stokke? A Sophie la Girafe teether? Or, perhaps you want to veer toward novelty, because, after all, you have the free pass of having zero experience on the subject of newborns. So, do you spring for a Marie-Chantal velour bear suit? Or a cheeky and darling ensemble by Stella McCartney? If you’re still not sure which pint-size token to bestow upon the impending bundle of joy, we’ve got you covered.
