New parents can use a rocking horse to add a touch of whimsy to a nursery until the baby is old enough to use it. Wooden rocking horses are available in a wide variety of colors, from traditional unpainted or white to bright red or blue. Choose a high-quality solid wood rocking horse featuring a soft yarn mane and tale and a leather saddle. If you're handy in the work shop, restore a vintage rocking horse back to its original luster to create a charming gift. You can also have the rocking horse engraved with the newborn's name as a personal touch.
Jewelry

Treat a newborn baby to sweet, rocking horse-inspired jewelry, which she can wear right away or enjoy when she is older. Choose a piece featuring the baby's birthstone, such as rubies for July birthday celebrants or sapphires for September celebrants. If you're looking for something less extravagant, pick vibrantly hued crystals instead of gemstones. Rocking horse-themed jewelry items include bracelet charms, necklace pendants and stud earrings.

Wall Decor

Parents-to-be can use personalized wall decor to brighten up the baby nursery's walls. Choose a wooden sign featuring a painted blue or pink rocking horse design and have it personalized with the baby's first name. If you're crafty, embroider a boutique-worthy cloth sign with whimsical rocking horse designs and the newborn's name, along with his birth date. Use rocking horse-inspired peel-and-stick wall decals to give the nursery a customized look.
Ceramic Bank
-
Display a decorative rocking horse-shaped ceramic bank on the baby's dresser or a wall shelf. The elegant item will also become a keepsake item. Depending on the baby's gender, choose a pastel blue or pink bank, or stick with a neutral white version. As a sophisticated touch, pick a polished sterling silver bank. Have the gift painted or engraved with a special message, such as "Baby's First Bank."
