A new baby? So exciting! And what's the best thing to get for a newborn? You want to get the cutest stuffed animal on the planet. But shouldn't you gift something that's also useful?
Not to fret. Buy Buy Baby has some brilliant ideas for gifts that are impossibly cute so the package is fun for the parents to open. But these gifts are also the sort of thing that will have the parents saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you," at 3 in the morning, when the baby is fussy, and when it's time to give baby a bath.
These swaddlers that make calming baby easier

Babies love to be swaddled. Being wrapped tightly into a soft blanket calms all their new-to-this-world senses and gives them a feeling of safety and calm. But swaddling is challenging to learn for many parents. (If you can't wrap a burrito, this is hard.) These swaddlers make it easy. Just wrap baby in one and close it up with the hook-and-loop closure.
This is a five-pack, so there's a swaddler there whenever mom or dad needs it. And they are all a cute, soft, muted gray.
