Baby care – ''Good Care, worry free''
Baby skin, in particular, deserves to be treated with love. Naïf products are suitable for even the youngest babies and are perfectly suited to the needs of sensitive baby skin. And most importantly, they contain no harmful ingredients, are dermatologically tested, vegan, and contain 0% microplastics, no mineral oils, etc.
Care package with healthy snacks
Treats are always a good idea! With a homemade care package filled with healthy and nutritious snacks, you can give your baby a little extra energy for everyday life and do something good for the parents at the same time. A dm drugstore voucher is also always a good idea—after all, you'll need lots of diapers soon.
Mothers Finest - your parents will love you, believe us!
Quote from Mothers Finest: "Because the time after birth belongs to your baby, not your kitchen."
Mothers Finest is Germany's first delivery service for freshly cooked organic food for expectant and new parents, and especially for postpartum mothers. Founder Kerstin Seidl is a mother of three herself and developed the Mothers Finest concept in 2011 based on her own experiences .
"After the stresses of childbirth, new mothers have an increased need for minerals, enzymes, vitamins, and trace elements during breastfeeding. A healthy diet is doubly important, because the newborn receives nutrients from breast milk that the mother gets from food. High-quality ingredients and careful preparation of food to preserve nutrients are paramount."
Either you order a few dishes or you choose a voucher so that the parents can choose the dishes themselves.
Books – but not just any books!
Give expectant parents books that inspire them to ask themselves: How do I want to accompany my child through life? And the kind of books most readers wish they had read before becoming parents.
The book you wish your parents had read
We would like to introduce you to a book that is an international bestseller among parenting guides: “ The book you wish your parents had read (and your children will be glad you did )”
Experienced psychotherapist Philippa Perry doesn't write a classic parenting guide, but rather an invitation to explore oneself and one's own upbringing. The way we were raised determines our parenting . Did you know? Without being conscious of this and showing ourselves compassion, we unconsciously pass on old wounds to our children.
A good question for parents
Also inspiring for reflection: " A Good Question for Parents ." Lena Kuhlmann helps parents find their own answers with 100 questions: 50 questions about their own childhood and 50 questions about their relationship with their own child. Expectant parents can explore the first half of the book during pregnancy, and the other half over the course of their parenting journey.
Oh dear, I'm growing!
Thisbook is about the eight "leaps" in a child's mental development during the first 14 months and how parents can handle them – with a large chapter on falling asleep and sleeping through the night.
The best diaper backpack and so much more!
Here at Anna and Oskar, we're all about parents. Our mission is to make the crazy everyday life a little more relaxing and, in addition to a pretty awesome diaper backpack, To offer one thing above all: the joy of parenting! Hugo is simply fantastic and doesn't look anything like a diaper backpack. The material, made of recycled polyester and Cordura (used primarily in the military), can take a beating (!!!). The idea behind it is that Hugo can be used for all stages of life—even if the baby no longer needs diaper changes after a few years, Hugo is there for life. Feel free to stop by, we'd love to see you.
A family photo shoot at home in the familiar surroundings
Give the gift of memories that will last forever with a gift certificate for a natural newborn or family photoshoot. This way, the special time spent as a new family can be captured forever.
The best part of your gift idea: The resulting pictures can then be printed on high-quality paper and hung in the family's own home. What parent wouldn't be delighted with this wonderful opportunity? In all the hustle and bustle of this new phase of life, it can easily get lost – so it's all the more wonderful that you're giving them these memories and making this possible.
We believe that less is often more, and we definitely didn't want to list the "traditional gifts" here. We hope we've inspired you a little to give something truly meaningful. Feel free to leave us your feedback on how your gift was received.
All the best and see you soon,
Your team from Anna & Oskar.
