How Reese Witherspoon Grew From a Cliché Blonde Into a Big Movie Boss and Started Making Films Especially for Women

Reese convinced everyone that they should follow their dreams .
Laura Jeanne Reese was born in 1976 in New Orleans .
At the age of 7 , she was cast for a commercial for a flower boutique and when she was 11 , she won a talent contest .
And even though Reese attended a drama school , her biggest passion was education , “ I was a dork that read all the time , and in bookstores , I ’ d lose my mind : I wanted to buy everything.
” When the future star was 15 , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her friends went to the casting of The Man in the Moon to be extras , the producers liked her so much that she got the main part .
In her first role as Dani , Reese instantly won the hearts of not only the viewers , but also the critics .
She was even nominated for the prestigious Young Artist Award .
She graduated from the all-girls ’ Harpeth Hall School in Nashville , where she was a cheerleader during her time there .
Then , she attended Stanford University as an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year of studies , she decided to change her life completely : despite protests from her family and friends , she left college to start her acting career .
And now we know it was the right decision .
She proved that children are not an obstacle but a source of inspiration .
After the premiere of the film , the couple got married , and in September 1999 , Reese gave birth to her daughter Ava Phillippe .
The actress said that this time was pretty hard for her , “ You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of another person .
You can ’ t go get your groceries without thinking about another person .
You don ’ t think about whether you ’ re cold or hot ; you think about your kid and whether they ’ re cold or hot .
If you want to be a mom and that ’ s important to you , you should have every right to do that .
Don ’ t put it off because of all the things that seem like a barrier .
You ’ re going to figure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reese didn ’ t have family or friends .
She went to a yoga class and found support in her new friends that helped her with Ava .
The actress remembers that time with a smile , “ I had to grow up really fast and figure out what woman I wanted to be for my daughter .
For example , once I was told to dress sexy for a meeting with a studio boss .
And you ’ re 23 , you have a baby at home , you need the money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that by people who know what they ’ re doing .
Oh God , if somebody told my daughter to do that , she ’ d be like , I really hope you ’ re joking.
” Her marriage ended in 2008 .
Going through a rough divorce , the actress surprised the public , who wanted details .
But her behavior was quite unusual .
She didn ’ t make a show of it and she ended all the gossiping by saying , `` I ’ m not interested in the fallacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have perfect children who never cry , we never have problems , we never argue , we ’ re always best friends .
That ’ s just not true .
We ’ re normal people with normal problems .
We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate .
They remain committed to their family and we ask that you respect their privacy.
” She proved that it ’ s possible to achieve everything by working hard .
And then she had other great roles : the ghost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Just Like Heaven and the elegant girl in Water for Elephants .
The actress got an amazing number of awards for the film Walk the Line , where she portrayed the second wife of Johnny Cash .
She won an Oscar , a Golden Globe , and a BAFTA for Best Actress .
Her romantic life also got better : in 2011 , Reese married casting agent Jim Toth and one year later , she had her third child — son Tennessee James Toth .
The couple is still happily married .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ t like the rules of the game , create your own rules .
Despite the number of offers she was getting , the actress felt that Hollywood producers weren ’ t really interested in the fate of women : there were very few films for them and about them .
And the scripts were terrible : women were nothing more than decorations .
Reese remembers , “ I was sick of seeing scripts where there was one female role , poorly written , and yet every actress in town wanted the part because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do what she felt was the right thing : make Hollywood play by her rules .
In 2012 , Reese set up her own production company to produce projects about strong women .
The actress also started a talk show , Shine On with Reese , where she interviewed successful women to find out how they achieved their goals .
In order to make the role of women in the industry even stronger , Witherspoon started the Filmmaker Lab project to teach teenage girls how to create movies .
As promised , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around the world : they watch the films , empathize with the characters , and recognize themselves .
This is what happened with the movie Wild , based on real events .
The story is about a writer that decides to walk a long distance in order to learn to live again , figure some things out , and get through a divorce and her mother ’ s death .
Reese was great in the lead role .
The actress actually walked 1,100 miles by herself and repeated what Cheryl Strayed , her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she had bloody calluses , and the crew was filming all of it .
For this role , she was nominated for an Oscar again .
So , from a cute-looking actress who had roles in romantic comedies , she grew into a serious dramatic actress .
Later , Hello Sunshine , her production company , filmed the TV series The Morning Show .
This story of a news anchor was full of tragedy and became one of the most discussed events in the industry in 2019 .
Thanks to Hello Sunshine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the TV series Big Little Lies .
Witherspoon did all of this with one goal in mind — change the role of women in the modern world .
“ There was a Columbia University study that concluded that a woman with ambitious traits seemed selfish and less worthy of being hired than a man with the same traits , which made me wonder , what the heck is wrong with being ambitious ?
I have been ambitious all my life .
In fact , I vividly remember telling my third grade teacher that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president of the United States .
Ambition is simply a drive inside of you—it ’ s having a curiosity or a new idea and the desire to pursue it .
It ’ s been exciting for me to watch women in my business secure some major wins.
” — Reese says .
She taught people to fight for their rights .
Reese probably thought that she needed to pay homage to her second passion — literature , so she founded an online book club .
Now , it has more than 1.7 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chooses the books for the club and tells the subscribers about them .
Some books instantly become bestsellers .
The same happened in 2017 when the actress chose Little Fires Everywhere as the book of the month .

She demonstrated that life after 40 is just beginning .
When Reese was 37 years old , her finance consultant told her , “ You need to start saving .

In 2017 , her career took a new turn and she became popular again when the TV series Big Little Lies was released .

And the rules can be changed .
We wish Reese luck and we ’ re always eager to see her new work .

Reese Witherspoon is on the list of the 100 most powerful women on the planet, according to Forbes. What’s more important is that she didn’t inherit her money or her power, but she actually built it all by herself.
We at Bright Side decided to take a look at the life path of the actress we love and find out how she became the symbol of feminism and a beacon for women from all around the world. And in the bonus, we’ll tell you about the role we’re going to see her in very soon.
Reese convinced everyone that they should follow their dreams.
Laura Jeanne Reese was born in 1976 in New Orleans. At the age of 7, she was cast for a commercial for a flower boutique and when she was 11, she won a talent contest. And even though Reese attended a drama school, her biggest passion was education, “I was a dork that read all the time, and in bookstores, I’d lose my mind: I wanted to buy everything.” When the future star was 15, she got really lucky: when she and her friends went to the casting of The Man in the Moon to be extras, the producers liked her so much that she got the main part.
In her first role as Dani, Reese instantly won the hearts of not only the viewers, but also the critics. She was even nominated for the prestigious Young Artist Award. She graduated from the all-girls’ Harpeth Hall School in Nashville, where she was a cheerleader during her time there. Then, she attended Stanford University as an English literature major. But after a year of studies, she decided to change her life completely: despite protests from her family and friends, she left college to start her acting career. And now we know it was the right decision.
She proved that children are not an obstacle but a source of inspiration.
In 1997, at a party for her 21st birthday, a dashing young man appeared — actor Ryan Phillippe. Young and happy, in 1999, they went to the casting of the drama Cruel Intentions, which was an adaptation of the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. They both got the roles.
After the premiere of the film, the couple got married, and in September 1999, Reese gave birth to her daughter Ava Phillippe. The actress said that this time was pretty hard for her, “You can’t go out without thinking of another person. You can’t go get your groceries without thinking about another person. You don’t think about whether you’re cold or hot; you think about your kid and whether they’re cold or hot. If you want to be a mom and that’s important to you, you should have every right to do that. Don’t put it off because of all the things that seem like a barrier. You’re going to figure it out.” In Los Angeles, Reese didn’t have family or friends. She went to a yoga class and found support in her new friends that helped her with Ava. The actress remembers that time with a smile, “I had to grow up really fast and figure out what woman I wanted to be for my daughter. For example, once I was told to dress sexy for a meeting with a studio boss. And you’re 23, you have a baby at home, you need the money, and you’re being told that by people who know what they’re doing. Oh God, if somebody told my daughter to do that, she’d be like, I really hope you’re joking.”
Even though people expected the young mom to be out of the business loop for several years, Ava actually gave her power. In 2000, she set up her company called Type A Films. And the name was chosen for a reason — it’s a reference to the school nickname Reese had for always being an A-student. Reese continued to appear at castings and raise her children: in 2003, Ava had a brother, Deacon Phillippe.
Her marriage ended in 2008. Going through a rough divorce, the actress surprised the public, who wanted details. But her behavior was quite unusual. She didn’t make a show of it and she ended all the gossiping by saying, "I’m not interested in the fallacy of the Hollywood relationship: “We have perfect children who never cry, we never have problems, we never argue, we’re always best friends. That’s just not true. We’re normal people with normal problems. We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you respect their privacy.”
She proved that it’s possible to achieve everything by working hard.
In 2001, Reese got the part of the beautiful law student, Elle Woods, in Legally Blonde, which was a turning point in her career. Thanks to this part, the entire world knew who Reese was and her Golden Globe nomination only solidified her success.
And then she had other great roles: the ghost of a girl in the romantic comedy, Just Like Heaven and the elegant girl in Water for Elephants. The actress got an amazing number of awards for the film Walk the Line, where she portrayed the second wife of Johnny Cash. She won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for Best Actress. Her romantic life also got better: in 2011, Reese married casting agent Jim Toth and one year later, she had her third child — son Tennessee James Toth. The couple is still happily married.
She showed that if you don’t like the rules of the game, create your own rules.
Despite the number of offers she was getting, the actress felt that Hollywood producers weren’t really interested in the fate of women: there were very few films for them and about them. And the scripts were terrible: women were nothing more than decorations. Reese remembers, “I was sick of seeing scripts where there was one female role, poorly written, and yet every actress in town wanted the part because there was nothing else.” Witherspoon decided to do what she felt was the right thing: make Hollywood play by her rules. In 2012, Reese set up her own production company to produce projects about strong women.

In order to make the role of women in the industry even stronger, Witherspoon started the Filmmaker Lab project to teach teenage girls how to create movies. As promised, Reese started making movies for women all around the world: they watch the films, empathize with the characters, and recognize themselves. This is what happened with the movie Wild, based on real events. The story is about a writer that decides to walk a long distance in order to learn to live again, figure some things out, and get through a divorce and her mother’s death. Reese was great in the lead role.
The actress actually walked 1,100 miles by herself and repeated what Cheryl Strayed, her prototype, did. She cried, she had bloody calluses, and the crew was filming all of it. For this role, she was nominated for an Oscar again. So, from a cute-looking actress who had roles in romantic comedies, she grew into a serious dramatic actress. Later, Hello Sunshine, her production company, filmed the TV series The Morning Show. This story of a news anchor was full of tragedy and became one of the most discussed events in the industry in 2019.
Thanks to Hello Sunshine, we have the movies Gone Girl and the TV series Big Little Lies. Witherspoon did all of this with one goal in mind — change the role of women in the modern world. “There was a Columbia University study that concluded that a woman with ambitious traits seemed selfish and less worthy of being hired than a man with the same traits, which made me wonder, what the heck is wrong with being ambitious? I have been ambitious all my life. In fact, I vividly remember telling my third grade teacher that I wanted to be the first female president of the United States. Ambition is simply a drive inside of you—it’s having a curiosity or a new idea and the desire to pursue it. It’s been exciting for me to watch women in my business secure some major wins.” — Reese says.
She taught people to fight for their rights.
The actress is fighting studio bosses for equality, trying to stop sexual harassment at the workplace, she wants women to have the same equal working conditions as men and she consults with young actresses. Witherspoon says, “I always tended to be outspoken with my opinions. Whether they were appropriate or not.”
She made books popular again.
Reese probably thought that she needed to pay homage to her second passion — literature, so she founded an online book club. Now, it has more than 1.7 million subscribers. Once a month, Reese chooses the books for the club and tells the subscribers about them. Some books instantly become bestsellers. The same happened in 2017 when the actress chose Little Fires Everywhere as the book of the month. The novel became a hit and she decided to make a TV series based on it that aired in March 2020.
She demonstrated that life after 40 is just beginning.
When Reese was 37 years old, her finance consultant told her, “You need to start saving. You need to start saving right now, because you’re going to be making drastically less money in your 40s.” 3 years later, she became the third highest-paid actress in the world and she fired her consultant. “I believe in abundance, I believe creativity is endless,” she says. In 2017, her career took a new turn and she became popular again when the TV series Big Little Lies was released. Every episode was watched by roughly 8.5 million people.
Witherspoon portrayed one of the main characters — Madeline Martha Mackenzie, an activist that tries to be the best at everything and also figure out her own personal issues. Reese worked with Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz, and Alexander Skarsgård. Aside from her active public and creative life, the actress takes part in different charity organizations.
Bonus: We’ll see the next part of Legally Blonde.
In 2018, the actress hinted on her Instagram account that she’d started preparing for the third installment of the Legally Blonde franchise. She told journalists, “I want to discover what age means to that character.” And when she was asked about the story, she said, “So much fun. So full of fashion. So full of awesome feminist ideas.” We’re looking forward to seeing the trailer.
While writing this article, we studied the biography of Reese, along with many articles and news stories about her. And the most amazing thing is that there is no gossip around her at all. Only news about her helping someone, fighting for someone’s rights, and her plans for the future. Her movies became a beacon for women across the world, they made them believe in themselves and look at their lives from a different angle. Little Fires Everywhere, Big Little Lies, and Wild were huge breakthroughs. This is why we admire this wise woman and this great actress who shows us that anything can be achieved through hard work. There is always a chance to be heard. And the rules can be changed. We wish Reese luck and we’re always eager to see her new work.

Bright Side wants to remind designers that visual appeal is important, but so is usability.

” “ I have allergies and I wanted to buy an air purifier , but I saw something on the internet that said you can use a filter and a fan instead .
Well , I cross my fingers it ’ ll work.
” “ 54 years ago my grandfather ‘ repaired ’ this toilet paper holder by sticking a pencil into it.
” What “ use to the last drop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinks that I ’ m crazy because every time we celebrate a birthday , the first thing I do is take off all the paper from the presents to later use it to give a present to somebody else.
” “ I really wanted a backpack vacuum cleaner , but the prices were very high .
Fortunately , I already had this fella and a skein of rope.
” “ Since the shipping cost of tires seemed too high for my parents , they decided to carry it like carry-on baggage and saved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours sorting out my father ’ s collection after learning that coins that were released before 1965 could contain silver .
Bottom line : I found 2 silver coins , earned $ 3 , spent 5 hours of my life.

” “ People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I work out by cleaning up all the garbage in my area.
” When all means ALL : “ I ’ m a spender , so I found a way to deal with this problem and froze my credit card in the freezer .
”

There are people who know the topic of saving money inside out. They carry brewed coffee in a thermos, take homemade food with them, and use public transport to spend less on fuel. But the approach “many a little makes a mickle” can sometimes transform into a real passion, that can make a person do crazy things.
Bright Side read some users’ stories who have a very creative approach to saving money.
“I decided to present my father with a set of tools, but I didn’t want to bother myself with the packaging. So what? Everything will come in handy.”
“I always cut sponges in half so they last longer.”
“My wife’s grandmother and her friend have been saving money on birthday cards and just resending the same ones to each other.”
“I broke up with my girlfriend, because she tried to throw this away.”
Here’s a life hack on how to get free grapes.
“My father pours his collection of free shower gels from hotel rooms into our container at home.”
“I have allergies and I wanted to buy an air purifier, but I saw something on the internet that said you can use a filter and a fan instead. Well, I cross my fingers it’ll work.”
“54 years ago my grandfather ‘repaired’ this toilet paper holder by sticking a pencil into it.”
What “use to the last drop” looks like.
“My husband thinks that I’m crazy because every time we celebrate a birthday, the first thing I do is take off all the paper from the presents to later use it to give a present to somebody else.”
“I really wanted a backpack vacuum cleaner, but the prices were very high. Fortunately, I already had this fella and a skein of rope.”
“Since the shipping cost of tires seemed too high for my parents, they decided to carry it like carry-on baggage and saved $110.”
“I spent 4 hours sorting out my father’s collection after learning that coins that were released before 1965 could contain silver. Bottom line: I found 2 silver coins, earned $3, spent 5 hours of my life.”
“The car dealer wanted $600 to replace the climate control panel, but here’s my solution for $10.”
“The seller saved money by shipping a package in this box. It was a clever reusable idea, and the size is perfect.”
“People pay for a gym membership, and I work out by cleaning up all the garbage in my area.”
When all means ALL:
“Unless you answer ‘YES’ to all of these... Do not turn on the heat! — Are you wearing a hoodie, pants, socks?
— Is it November?
— Do you pay the gas bill?”
“I’m a spender, so I found a way to deal with this problem and froze my credit card in the freezer.”

” “ I started making my wedding dress a few years ago , but I didn ’ t finish it until the night before the wedding.
” “ I made my wedding dress and the wedding outfits for all the participants in the ceremony .

Every bride probably dreams of being unique on her wedding day, but it may not be that easy to capture your unique character in a dress from a store. For those who don’t want to be among the beauties who have to choose a ready-made dress, there’s an “simple” life hack — make your wedding dress yourself. And many women have done just that and evoked the most admiring glances from their invited guests.
We at Bright Side went through hundreds of wedding photos from brides who made their dresses on their own. It’s amazing to see women who have such different ideas about what they want to look like on one of the most important days of their lives.
“I made my own wedding dress. 79 ft of fabric, countless hours of work... It was worth it!”
“We both love fast food, so I made my wedding dress from burrito wrappings. Our love for each other is as cheesy as a quesadilla.”
“I fell in love with a dress, but it cost $2,200, so I decided to make the same one myself. I used scotch tape and a T-shirt to make a mannequin, and bought 26 ft of silk and lace.
Here’s the result.”
“I wanted my wedding dress to sparkle.”
“I bought a dress from a thrift store for $50 and transformed it. A lot of sweat and tears were shed during the process, but I felt like a princess at the wedding!”
“Sounds a little girly, but I made a wedding dress!”
“I spent at least 100 hours working on my outfit and felt great in it! I think my husband and I looked fantastic.”
“I knitted my own wedding dress. Enjoy!”
“I worked on my outfit for 8 months with the help of online courses. It didn’t work out perfectly, but I did it, and this is the most important thing!”
“I made myself both a wedding dress and an outfit for my husband. We wanted a celebration with forest fairy aesthetics. And this is what we got.”
“I knitted my lace wedding dress on the bus on the way to work. It took 5 months and less than $30 to create this beauty.”
“I sewed a wedding dress with the help of videos online. There is a lot of handmade work here.”
“I made a custom wedding dress. This is my first major project.”
“I made a wedding outfit with my own hands.”
“On my wedding day, I was still hemming one of the edges of my outfit... Creating your own dress isn’t for the faint-of-heart.”
“I made my own dress and got married last month! I changed the pattern a bit, adding pockets and more fullness in the skirt. The bolero is also hand-sewn.”
“My DIY wedding dress”
“I made my wedding dress. I wanted something unique that would really suit me, and it turned out great.”
“I crocheted my dress in 4 weeks!”
“I made my wedding dress and the wedding outfits for all the participants in the ceremony. It took about 6 months.”

Even though some men would happily welcome their child and help their partner during delivery, there are some of them who don’t want to be present during childbirth. This raises many questions about the advantages and disadvantages of having them there. That is why it is important to learn more about the things that can happen in both cases.
Today, Bright Side wants to show you some positive and negative sides of a man’s decision to be a part of the big moment. As a bonus, we have several stories from families who went through childbirth together.
Con 1: The pain can be more intense.
Oxytocin, known as the love hormone, is needed for an easier and less painful delivery. That’s why it’s better if men who are not ready, less informed, or afraid of the whole process stay away from it. Their anxiety can add tension to the whole environment and can even lead to a situation in which the adrenaline level of the mother increases and love hormone decreases.
Con 2: He might experience depression.
There are men who start to feel powerless and hopeless after witnessing childbirth. This happens because they can’t do much to help, the staff avoids them, and they get scared for the woman’s life. These feelings aren’t usually expressed and are tucked down deeply in their subconscious. Symptoms of depression may include weight gain/loss, headaches, fatigue, or even isolation from friends and family.
Con 3: It might complicate your love life.
While most men are fine after seeing the birth of their child, there are some who weren’t prepared. That is why some couples’ love lives will suffer. Witnessing childbirth can minimize the feelings the couple has for each other, transforming their relationship into just good friends.
Con 4: The delivery may take longer.
When the mother gets to hold the baby for the first time, she needs to be focused only on the little one. Looking at her child’s eyes for the first time, smelling them, and experiencing skin-to-skin contact will distract her from everything that is happening around her. This will also help her push the placenta out, because the love hormone is essential even after delivering the baby. But if the father is there, he might be the reason for an adrenaline rush and a decrease of the necessary hormones.
Con 5: Some things men do annoy their wives.
Even if men decide that they want to be there for their partner and their child, this can turn into a really bad idea. This is especially true if the labor lasts for more than 12 hours. Some of them start eating in the room, watching videos on their phone, and may even leave during the delivery. Also, they may start feeling sleepy because of the adrenaline rush they had while trying to get to the hospital on time.
Pro 1: He will be present during the first minutes of the baby’s life.
Even if some men are afraid and having second thoughts before the big moment, the unpredictability labor won’t give them a chance to choose. Seeing their loved one in pain and being beside her was all they could think of, and then it turns into this unforgettable moment and gives him a chance to see his baby’s first minutes in this world.
Pro 2: He can help with breastfeeding from the start.
It is not that easy for a new baby to latch right away, but once they do the mother doesn’t want to move so she doesn’t interrupt the baby. Even from the first try in the hospital, the dad can help. He can pass you a drink, add a pillow or 2, burp the infant, and even give you a light massage.
Pro 3: He can give emotional and physical support.
Future fathers should be beside their wives during labor because they can help them feel relaxed and also make them laugh. Even the anxious talk about meeting the baby can help in a roundabout way and significantly improve the labor experience. The new mom will be sleep-deprived and exhausted, probably under medication too, but when her man is there she will be able to relax knowing that the baby is in good hands.
Pro 4: He will be more connected with the child after birth.
In recent times, fathers have become more involved in their child’s lives. Being present during the pregnancy test, check-ups, ultrasounds, and childbirth can have a big impact. This also affects the emotional and cognitive development of the child.
Pro 5: He will be able to make quick decisions.
Sometimes childbirth can go sideways even though labor goes smoothly and without any complications. In that case, you might have to make a decision that is not in your birth plan and he will be there to help you. There are even cases where the husband’s presence saved the wife’s and child’s lives.
Bonus: People shared their stories from the delivery room.

Of course, the “go-to gifts” that comes to mind is money, diapers, and clothes for the baby. But even these options are ambiguous and won’t necessarily bring the new parents any joy.
We at Bright Side have reviewed opinions on various forums to determine what’s worth giving new parents and what’s undesirable. And, of course, we couldn’t do without some awkward situations and sparkling stories related to this special gift-giving.
Disappointing options
Handmade presents — New parents won’t have enough time to be touched by your efforts and read wishes on DIY cards. It’s also better not to sew soft toys or mobiles for the crib with your own hands if you aren’t doing this professionally. After all, it’s important that all materials are hypoallergenic and without small parts that can be easily torn off. And the list of such details can go on forever. The first thing you should think about when choosing a gift is practicality .

It’s also better not to sew soft toys or mobiles for the crib with your own hands if you aren’t doing this professionally. After all, it’s important that all materials are hypoallergenic and without small parts that can be easily torn off. And the list of such details can go on forever. The first thing you should think about when choosing a gift is . Large gifts — If you haven’t previously agreed on such a purchase with the parents, you shouldn’t give a crib, a stroller, a playpen, or other similar things. Future parents purchase these types of goods early on and are in no need of 2 cribs or 3 strollers. Moreover, it’s very difficult to guess the right coloring and style.
Clothing — All babies are born with different heights. Someone needs newborn-sized things — up to 8 inches — and a baby who’s born with a height of 8 to 21 inches can quickly grow to up to 24 inches. As a result, your gifts won’t even have a chance to be worn.
Baby carrier backpacks — This is a very convenient thing, but some parents are wary of baby slings and similar “helpers” and simply won’t use your gift. In addition to this, there are many low-quality models and fakes of famous brands in stores that will only harm the backs of the parents and the baby’s spine. The purchase of such a gift should be agreed upon, and a model should be chosen in accordance with the baby’s age and safety certificates.

The purchase of such a gift should be agreed upon, and a model should be chosen in accordance with the baby’s age and safety certificates. The first photobook or diary for the baby — All the “first albums” are undoubtedly very cute, and some products even offer special places for the ultrasound scans, boxes for the first lost teeth, or a page for handprints. But not everyone is enthusiastic about such books, so it’s highly likely that your gift will be left on the shelf, collecting dust. Even mothers who swear that they’ll keep all the notes and photos safe will forget to do so because they’ll be so busy all the time.
Acceptable options
Of course, it’s better to ask parents about the gift directly. But if you’ve decided to make it a surprise, it’s better to choose neutral or technological options. Mats for the child — For example, developmental or musical mats are great. The kid can play with hanging toys for hours or click on the built-in music buttons while the adults do their own thing next to them. There’s a risk that someone will gift them with a similar mat, but parents often use several models when the same toys begin to bore the child. But this is very important: If you choose a mat with musical effects, songs, or fairy tales, check to make sure there are sound controls and an option to turn off these functions (like lighting effects or spinning toys). An equally necessary thing to check for is a thermal mat on the floor. It’ll be appreciated later when the child begins to roll over and crawl, and they’ll need a lot of space to practice new skills.

Or just give money!
This option is the simplest and most universal: if you don’t want to spend a lot of time doing research and choosing products, feel free to choose it. But keep in mind that many people will give money, and new parents will simply throw all the envelopes in one heap, and they’ll be unlikely to let you know what exactly your money contributed to. So what alternative do we have?
Discount coupons or food delivery certificates — Believe me, both mothers and fathers at the beginning of their parental career sometimes don’t even have time to drink tea, let alone cook food. And the opportunity to order something ready-made at a discount or even for free is a real life-saver, especially in the first months.

Don’t write off gift cards from hardware stores, because in addition to kitchen utensils, there are goods that will be useful for young parents. And whether they need a bottle warmer, a sterilizer, or a blender for baby purees, they’ll have the opportunity to shop for themselves.

And whether they need a bottle warmer, a sterilizer, or a blender for baby purees, they’ll have the opportunity to shop for themselves. “Coupons” to get your help — They can be written by hand or printed out. For example, 10 coupons for a 2-hour walk with a stroller, 5 coupons for a trip to the store, or a coupon for washing dishes are super helpful. Moms and dads are often shy about asking for help, especially at first. And such “coupons” will help reduce the feeling of guilt when they turn to you for help.
Don’t forget about the parents.
If a mom or dad of a newborn is very close to you, give them a gift specifically for them to enjoy. This will definitely be more appreciated than another pack of diapers that the baby will likely grow out before they can even wear them. Even a small bit of attention will be appreciated amid the flow of gifts for the baby.
