I’m finding that more and more couples are recently electing to not find out the gender of their baby. There are multiple reasons for this. One reason is that it is really nice to have gender-neutral baby gifts and items that can be used with future children. If you announce the gender beforehand you undoubtedly will end up with a ton of pink or blue stuff.
Here are ten baby gifts that are easy to buy in gender-neutral colors and patterns. The new parents will thank you!
Every baby will need many drool bibs, no matter the gender. Starting around four months the drool is constant and then picks up even more with teething.
I love these bandana drool bibs from Posh Peanut. We have tried bibs from other brands but what makes these bibs stand out is the length. These drool bibs are much longer thus protecting more of the baby’s outfit from getting soaked. There are three snap closures allowing the bib to grow with your baby. Plus, the drool bibs are so soft and still look great after washing (unlike other brands I’ve tried). They come in many designs including gender-neutral options!
A classic, blocks are loved by all babies. They are great to chew on. Blocks help develop fine and gross motor skills. Plus, babies think it is hilarious to knock them over.
There are some great gender-neutral blankets out there. Whether you are looking for swaddle blankets or plush blankets, the options are endless.
If you follow my blog you know I’m an avid reader. Reading to babies is so important. Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter because books are for everyone.

I wish I had more gender-neutral onesies and sleepers for my babies. The majority of the clothes my girls were gifted as babies were extremely girly. I have tried my best to tone down the gender stereotyping when I dress them. Specifically, mixing in neutrals and denim wherever I can.
Lovies are great gifts to give a newborn. All babies love the silky edges and it gives them something to cuddle and get attached to.

Such great ideas! I love all the milestone marker gifts - unique and something different especially if it's not their first kiddo.
These are such great ideas! When you don't know the gender or you just know that mom isn't super into the pink and blue, these are going to be my go-to gifts!
