About Eva and Best Baby Gifts

Hi there and welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here and interested in getting to know the mom behind this website. My name is Eva Dittmer and I’m a mom of three - a girl, a boy, and another girl. As a mother, gift-giver, and creative mind, I’ve spent years curating the best baby gifts to make shopping easier and more meaningful for new parents and their loved ones.

Why Trust Best Baby Gifts?

The recommendations on this website don’t just come from research and books, they come from real-life experience! Before becoming a mom myself, I worked as an au pair, babysat regularly, and cared for my nieces and nephews. And now, after raising three kids, I know firsthand what parents appreciate most when it comes to baby gifts.

Beyond my parenting expertise, I also have a deep love for words. With a background in English literature, I’ve spent years writing and collecting poems—many of which you’ll find here, from heartfelt baby congratulations to sweet scrapbooking messages.

And if you’re looking for creative baby gifts, you're in the right place. I’ve crafted and sold over 3,000 diaper cakes and diaper gifts (yes, really!), and my step-by-step DIY tutorials will help you create unique and thoughtful gifts of your own. Whenever you see a diaper cake photo branded "Windeltorten by Evi" (WtbE) or Best-Baby-Gifts.com, you’ll know it’s one of my designs.

A Little More About Me

I created this site to help anyone who may not have the time, experience, or up-to-date knowledge about choosing the perfect baby gift. My goal is to make gift-giving easy, fun, and meaningful. So you can celebrate the new arrival with confidence.

When I’m not researching the latest baby must-haves or crafting diaper gifts for my online business, I love to read, travel, garden, and do creative projects. I also try to run twice a week - and I'm super proud to have completed two half-marathons!

In my "former life", I studied International Business and worked in Export & Marketing for global companies. But after having kids, my focus shifted, and I couldn’t be happier working as a WAHM (Work-At-Home-Mom), running this website on my own schedule while connecting with visitors from all over the world.

A Decade of Baby Gift Inspiration

I launched this website in 2011 and ever since, I have been dedicated to keeping it up-to-date with the latest baby gift ideas. Over the years, I have continuously expanded my knowledge, researched new trends, and refined my expertise to ensure that my recommendations are not only practical and thoughtful but also relevant and high-quality.

As baby products evolve, I make it a priority to stay informed about innovative gift ideas, must-have baby gear, and eco-friendly options that parents truly appreciate. Whether it’s discovering the newest personalized keepsakes, testing out creative DIY gift ideas, or curating adorable yet functional presents, I strive to provide fresh inspiration and help you find the perfect gift for every occasion.

Through my hands-on experience as a mom and my passion for creative gift-giving, I continue to enhance this website, and making it a valuable resource.
