Parents-to-be register for all sorts of baby items they know they’ll need and want, from the essentials (car seats) to the the questionables (Mozart-playing mobiles). But you have lots of reasons to go off the registry, too. If they’re first-timers, there will be a hundred must-haves and nice-to-haves they don’t yet know they’ll want. Maybe you just want to get them something that’s a little different. Or maybe the registry has been picked clean, and you’re left with diaper-disposal containers and bottle brushes — useful, but not exactly fun. The gifts on this list, compiled by Wirecutter parents and made up of the little treats they never knew they needed (or even wanted) but came to love, fill in the gaps left by most registries. So by all means, get the nursing pillow or the wipe warmer, but then maybe throw in a cute radish teether, a delivery of dates, or something to get the baby’s library started early.
