The books on this list are completely new to me! I find a lot of recs/lists online include the same set of classics (which are great), but love stumbling onto new finds. Hitting up the library to test a few out this weekend. Thank you!

I love that your top reco is second hand. Buy Nothing on Facebook has been such a delight for me, going both ways, for finding and giving things. It is also a way to connect with neighbors, re-weaving those thin little threads with "the village."

Yes! It's the greatest joy to be able to be part of the village — and reduce purchases as much as possible as sometimes they only need the item for a month!

Thank you Kate! I loved getting so many of these thoughtful gifts I could have never thought to ask for so I hope it does the same for your new-parent friends!
