12 Gifts for New Parents They’ll Actually Use

Smart dimmers for under $100

This is the gift for new parents they didn’t know they needed, but they totally do. This dimmer switch on the Lutron Caseta Wireless smart lighting system is hooked up to an app on either your iPhone or android phone, and lets you control the lighting (or lack thereof) in your baby’s room while you’re just about anywhere with an internet connection. You can literally wake your baby up gently by increasing the amount of light in the nursery while you’re sitting on the toilet, or if you simply forgot to turn the lights out when you left the room, no worries — you can do it from the line at the pizza place where you’re anxiously awaiting your nutritious dinner.
