7. Baby Swaddler Set
Something as darling and adorable as these swaddlers surely can’t possibly be useful, right? WRONG, bruh. They usually work wonders for comforting those sweet little tiny humans:
It makes a baby feel like he’s back inside the womb — or like he is being snuggled close. Swaddling has been shown to help many babies sleep better. It can be particularly helpful for babies with neurologic problems or colic, or for babies born addicted to drugs.

8. Parent Decision Coin
It is 2AM and a new mother wakes up in the middle of the night due to a daunting odor, a few seconds later she realizes that her little ray of sunshine just did a big dookie. She immediately wakes up her partner and aggressively whispers “Honey, wake up & change the baby’s diaper, please – I’m exhausted!”. With a puzzled look on his face, he replies, “Awe, come on babe. I have to wake up in 3 hours – can you do it?” Finally she says “That turd mountain currently squishing around in our baby’s diaper needs changed NOW – I’m breaking out the decision coin and we are flipping for our fate!”.
And that, my friends is how this cute little coin saved the day…😂
9. Car Seat Canopy Covers

Glow in the Dark Space Themed Canopy
Because anything space or astronaut themed is automatically brilliant. But if you sprinkle in the fact that it glows in the dark? Now, THAT’S a fantastic explosion of excellence that anyone would love to the moon and back!
Fit for a future sequin-loving queen!
Big sequins, a bigger bow and a royal title elegantly written in cursive? It’s too beautiful for words – which is perfect since babies can’t talk. Ha!

Funny “Watch your Language” Onesie
If you’re looking at this onesie right now thinking to yourself, “Oh heavens, this is offensive!”, then you’re lying to yourself, because this is hilarious! Think of this way: This onesie is promoting the use of clean, baby-friendly language in a bold, assertive way. So, think about the good cause behind the profanity.😜
Silly Pacifiers
These are not only useful, but also make for an amazing photo op!
