First, the pregnancy test came back positive, marking the beginning of a new journey. Then, 8 months flew by, followed by anticipation and preparations, and now you have a little one arriving anytime. As I navigate this exciting phase of life, I realize there are many expecting parents or current parents who share my passion for gaming. They may also want to pass it on to their little ones. I got kicked off the baby registry when I tried to add a PlayStation 5, so now I invite you to my gaming-inspired registry.
Pokémon Crochet Stuffed Animals
Collection of Pokemon
This shop immediately caught my eye as affordable and offering adorable crochet plushies. In the end, I decided to purchase Dobby and Squirtle. What’s even better is that you can opt to have a rattle inserted as well! This was one of the first things I ordered and had my first, “Oh crud, this is happening” moment when it arrived. The owner of this shop is a complete joy to work with.
Teething Controller
NES Teether
Babies love to put everything in their mouths, but what about your gaming controller? A baby would love to chew on your controller, but that is expensive. You need to get them their own teether that looks like your favorite controllers here.
Mario Night Light
Mario Night-Light
First, who even likes sleeping in the dark anyway? Getting this question-block-themed nightlight will surely help make sleeping in the dark much more bearable. If it is good enough for the mustache-sporting plumber, then it should be good enough for your baby.
Fisher-Price Gaming Items
My Own Lil Gamer
Fisher-Price makes 3 awesome gaming items for kids. Firstly, there is the controller, designed in a Game Boy style that offers a nostalgic gaming experience. Additionally, there’s the Nintendo Switch style, providing versatility and modern gaming features. Despite their differences, all three products are exceptional in their own right. You can’t go wrong with any of these. Read more about the Fisher-Price items that I recommend here.
Miyoo Mini Plus
Miyoo Mini Plus
Before you could be gaming anywhere and have the biggest handheld available, but now you have a little one to hold. The Miyoo Mini Plus is a great device that is pocketable. It’s also easy to play with one hand therefore it is a great handheld for when you are up in the middle of the night with the baby.
Baseus 65W 20,000 mAh Power Bank
Baseus Power Bank
Naturally, you are comfortable holding the baby, but you are far away from an outlet. Finally, that dreaded low battery symbol flashes on your device. Unquestionably, this power bank is a tank and I use it for my Steam Deck.
Having a baby is scary and might fill you with anxiety. At least you can have fun and share your interests with them with these great items. Finally, let us know if you have any other suggestions!
