The 33 Most Thoughtful Gifts for New Parents

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Ah, the joys of parenting! A new mattress won't fix the sleepless nights. The diaper changes never end, but the memory of that heart-melting first smile will make it all worth it. Now, believe it or not, shopping for the newest little addition to the family can be way harder than hunting down the perfect gift for your wife, husband, father-in-law, or even that foodie cousin and techy uncle with the mile-long wish lists.

And while I'm not saying my five-year-old is an expert on luxury (although he does have an uncanny knack for spotting the most expensive item in any given room), I've been around the baby block long enough to discern the difference between the: “Oh, thanks... it's the thought that counts," gifts and the ones that make you gasp in sheer delight.

For those who believe a baby's first impressions of the world should include some Egyptian cotton, hand-stitched detailing, and perhaps the faint scent of truffle (don't we all?), this list is for you. Dive into our curated selection of 33 luxury gifts that will have new parents cooing in gratitude.

Baby Stroller Gloves Nylonin Clay

Winter is almost here and Caraa is here to save your hands! These suckers attach to your stroller and are truly a warmth-saver. Plus, they're super cute.

Kiwi Electronic Recliner Glider

It’s easier to rock a baby to sleep in a luxe glider with a built-in phone charger. Maybe you're buying it for your wife, or yourself, but it's an investment worthy of the price.

A recent winner in our Esquire Gadget Awards, the new Dyson Big+Quiet will make sure the whole family has fresh air.

Speaking of baby food, new parents will want a way to store and carry it.
