Parenting is exhausting.<\/span> If there’s a new parent in your life, whether it’s your friend who is the new parent of the group or a family member who just had a baby, there are a lot of ways to show some love. Showing up, checking in on how they’re surviving, and bringing something that can improve their life are all great ways to support the new parents in your circle.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of parenting and baby gear out there, and not all of it is created equal. Not all of it will suit what the parents in your life might need, either. This guide is organized into a handful of different categories of parenting gadgets, smart home gear, little luxuries, and even food deliveries you can send to their door. All of these are tried and tested by WIRED’s reviewers (many of whom are parents) and can confirm the difference it’s made in their lives.<\/p>\n

Great Parenting Gadgets to Gift<\/h2>\n

It’s easy to remember to register for things like the car seat and baby clothes. But there are a lot of small gadgets that make parenting a little easier, things that new parents don’t realize they might love using. Here’s some of our favorites from the parents here at WIRED.<\/p>\n

Electric Baby Nail Trimmer<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Baby nails are sharp, but it’s also easy to clip their tiny nails too far. The solution? An electric nail trimmer. No more scratches on mom and dad or baby’s new, beautiful face. Plus it can be less scary for parents than wielding traditional nail clippers near baby’s tiny fingers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Munchkin<\/p>\n

Mini Portable UV-C Sterilizer+<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

This was a gift from a friend that wasn’t actually on my registry, but I used it more than so many things I did register for. Pacifiers fall all the time, and get grimy instantly. I kept this portable UV sterilizer hooked to my diaper bag, and loved popping a pacifier in after drops (after wiping it down with a wet wipe first).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
