Buying a gift for a new baby is fun and exciting, but then when you have a gift personalized it is even greater knowing that you have chosen something very special for a very special life. Choosing a personalized baby gift gives you the opportunity to choose things that best match with the baby’s blossoming personality, nursery color or décor, or simply something unlike any other gift.
An excellent choice is always personalized clothing. Whether choosing the baby’s full name, nickname, or initials, you can have rompers, sleepers, hats, jackets, and other clothing items personalized with embroidery, paint, or embellishments. The personalized clothing is typically higher quality in that you have chosen to have something made special.
For instance, with the embroidery, a skilled seamstress or clothing maker can add a nice touch of whimsy or something dainty for a little girl. For clothing that is hand-painted, special care is taken to use beautiful colors and designs that will last for years, even when placing the item in the washing machine.
Bibs and blankets always make outstanding personalized baby gifts. You can choose cute animal designs with the baby’s initials, or a special trim can be added with paint also using initials, and so on. If grandma calls her new granddaughter “princess”, or her new grandson her “little man”, you can have several clothing items personalized with the nickname and then designs for enhancement. For the granddaughter, the word “princess” could be beautifully embroidered inside a hand-painted tiara and for the grandson, the words “little man” could be part of the stitching on a hand-painted football or baseball.
If you want a unique personalized baby gift but still choose something for a specific baby that the parents will also enjoy, you might consider buying a book for mom and dad on how to make homemade baby food. Not only is homemade food healthier, but it is also much less expensive. Visit a health food store or check on the Internet for the option that would work best. For instance, the parents can learn how to puree various foods, freeze them in ice cube trays, and when time to feed the baby, a cube or two is popped out, heated up, and served. Since most parents are looking for ways to ensure their child’s safety and health, this makes the ideal personalized gift.
Another excellent personalized baby gift is to have a 4 x 4 foot baby quilt made that features various photographs of the baby. Using hospital pictures, home pictures, and even a few from the sonograms, you can choose to have the photos blown up in either black and white, color, or a nice mixture of both, perhaps with black and white on one side and color on the other side. Baby photo quilts are somewhat new on the market but beginning to catch on. The baby, especially as he or she begins to grow older, will be fascinated with the “baby” on the quilt and the parents will be touched by the unique and sentimental gift.
Choosing a personalized baby gift only requires a little bit of research and creativity. With this type of gift, you can be certain that the parents will be overjoyed that you went to such a degree to choose something unique and special just for their baby. Keep in mind that personalized gifts can be something made as well. If you have a talent for artwork, you could create a gorgeous calligraphy of the baby’s name, framed and matted to match the nursery. The possibilities are truly endless and special.
