For parents consistently on-the-go, this is THE nursing pillow (if we do say so ourselves)! Small enough to fit in your diaper bag, but as supportive and comfortable as a larger pillow, you won't need anything else.
2. Portable Changing Station

Get Creative:
1. Gift Certificate for a house cleaner
We all know how messy the house can get in general, let alone when you're a couple of new parents trying to juggle life with a newborn AND keeping everything tidy. This Christmas, give the gift of a cleaning service! Something that all new parents wish for, but won't purchase for themselves, and chances are it'll be one of the gifts they appreciate the most!
2. At Home Date Night
Every new parent craves a night out with their partner, but with a newborn it can be overwhelming and a little daunting to try and make that happen. Instead, get creative this season and give your friends/loved ones the gift of a date night at home! A meal subscription kit or gift certificate for take-out at their favorite restaurant, plus popcorn and a movie is the perfect combo for a relaxing evening in!
