Buying a gift for a newborn baby is fun and exciting. However, giving a personalized gift makes gift giving even more exciting, knowing you have chosen something very special in celebration of a very special life. Choosing a personalized baby gift gives you the opportunity to choose things that match with the baby’s emerging personality or nursery color or décor.
An excellent choice is personalized clothing. Whether choosing the baby’s full name, nickname, or initials, you can purchase rompers, sleepers, hats, jackets, and other clothing items, having them personalized with embroidery, paint, or embellishments. Personalized clothing is something the child can use and the parents enjoy as well. As an example, you could hire a tailor to add embroidery, choosing a design that is whimsical or specific to a little girl or boy.
Bibs and blankets also make outstanding personalized baby gifts. For this, you can choose cute animal designs with the baby’s initials or perhaps special trim added with paint, also using initials. If grandma calls, her new granddaughter “princess” or her new grandson her “big boy”, then several clothing items can be personalized with the nickname, along with other designs.
If you want a unique personalized baby gift but something the parents would 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 less expensive. For instance, parents can learn how to puree various foods and then freeze them in ice cube trays. With this, 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 raise a healthy, happy baby, 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 sonograms, you can choose have the photos blown up in either black and white, color, or a nice mixture of both. Baby photo quilts are somewhat new on the market but growing in popularity. As the baby grows, he or she will be fascinated with the “baby” on the quilt. For the parents, the gift becomes something sentimental.
Although a personalized baby gift requires a little bit of research and creativity, it is well worth the time invested. With this type of gift, you can be certain the new parents will be overjoyed that you went to such an extent, choosing something unique and special for their baby. Keep in mind that personalized gifts can be something made as well. Therefore, if you have talent for artwork, calligraphy, sewing, or other crafts, perhaps you could make a personalized gift.
