A diaper bag as a baby gift or on your registry: what to look for
Looking for a baby gift that will truly be used? Or putting together your own baby registry and want something you'll enjoy for years to come? A diaper bag is one of the few baby items that comes along every day, from the very first walk to the toddler years. That's what makes it a gift that lasts.
But what should you look for when you give a diaper bag, or add one to your registry? In this article you'll find the most important tips.
Why a diaper bag makes such a lovely baby gift
Many baby gifts are adorable, but outgrown within a few weeks. A diaper bag is different. It's used on every outing, every visit to family and every trip to daycare. And because it's something a new mom often wouldn't buy for herself, it feels extra special.
- Everyday use: the gift is truly seen and appreciated.
- For mom herself: not just for the baby, but something for her too.
- Made to last: a timeless bag stays beautiful as the little one grows.
What to look for in a diaper bag as a gift
1. Her style
Look at what she wears now. Does she love sleek and classic, or soft and warm? A diaper bag that doesn't feel like a diaper bag is often the best fit. Neutral colors like Black, Espresso and Olive are easy to pair with any wardrobe.
2. Her everyday life
Is she going back to work after maternity leave? Does she love to travel? Does she walk a lot with the stroller? A bag that suits her rhythm is the one that gets used most. Not sure which style suits her? Read Jimmi, Jackie or Mosi: which diaper bag is right for you?
3. Smart organization
A beautiful bag also needs to be practical. Look for pockets for bottles, zippered pockets for valuables and a lining that's easy to clean. Every The Rhae bag has 6 inside pockets with room for bottles, zippered pockets and an easy-to-clean lining.
4. Material
The Rhae works with premium vegan leather and vegan suede. Lovely for anyone who chooses consciously, with a refined look that suits a gift.
5. The option to exchange
If you're giving the gift as a surprise, it's nice to know an exchange is possible. At The Rhae you get 14-day returns.
Three styles, three kinds of moms
- The Jimmi (€179.95): sleek vegan leather with a gold-tone zipper along the full top. For the mom who loves timeless and classic.
- The Jackie (€189.95): soft vegan suede in Espresso or Olive. For the mom who falls for soft textures and warm tones.
- The Mosi (€189.95): the 4-in-1, to carry as a handbag, shoulder bag, crossbody and backpack. For the mom who's always on the go.
Build a complete set
Want to make the gift extra complete? Pair the bag with one or more accessories. It's not only practical, it also makes the gift more personal.
- The Lucy Pouch (€49.95): a pouch with elastic pockets that fits in every The Rhae bag. For changing essentials or for her own makeup and charger.
- Stroller Hooks (€24.95): a set of two sturdy metal hooks to attach the bag to almost any stroller.
- Stroller Straps (€24.95): two stroller straps in vegan leather, or in vegan suede to match The Jackie.
In the set builder you put the set together in a few steps. Choose a bag with one accessory and you get 10% off. For the complete set it's 15%.
Adding a diaper bag to your baby registry
Expecting and making a baby registry? A diaper bag is a smart choice to add. It's a slightly bigger gift, which makes it ideal for people who want to give something together.
Tips for your registry
- Be specific: name the style and color, for example "The Jackie in Olive". That way everyone knows exactly what you'd like.
- Add the link: many online baby registries and wish lists let you add a link to a product from any web shop. That makes ordering easy.
- List the accessories separately: so one person can give the bag and another the Lucy Pouch or Stroller Straps.
- Think group gift: a diaper bag is a lovely gift from colleagues, friends or family together.
When to give the gift
You can give a diaper bag during pregnancy, for example at a baby shower. Then it's ready when the baby arrives, and she can pack it for those first outings. Visiting after the birth? It's just as lovely then. Tuck in a few small extras, like a pack of wipes or a treat for mom herself, and your gift is ready to use right away.
