"Most babies haven't developed a personal style yet, which makes them the perfect recipients for gifts that aren't for them at all. That 3-month-old won't find a crinkly newspaper toy funny, wood toys unique, or tiny Mary Janes squeal-worthy, but the parents sure will. And maybe that bunny bonnet is really for you, because who doesn't wanna see a baby with rabbit ears?"

Most babies have not yet formed a personal style, so gifts often serve the parents' taste more than the infant's. Infants do not process novelty in the same way adults do, so a crinkly newspaper toy will not amuse a three-month-old, wooden toys will not feel uniquely charming to them, and tiny Mary Janes will not elicit squeals. Parents derive joy from seeing intentional, whimsical items on their children. Playful accessories like a bunny bonnet often function as visual treats for adults who enjoy the cuteness of baby animals.
