Personalized Baby Gifts - How Special is That?


Personalized baby gifts have become my new favorite baby gift of all time!  I love the different thought processes new parents go through these days in thinking about the name for their new baby - so why not turn that into the most perfect baby gift ever!  Think about how new parents around you are approaching the name of their new baby.  Are they blending  two family names, naming the baby in honor of a special person, naming the baby after a favorite song or TV character, or making up a name that will be truly one-of-a-kind?  Why not use the fun of the new baby's name to be the perfect baby gift for their newborn baby!


I like hearing the stories of how a newborn baby gets named.  One Mom told me she offered to let her 3 young children name the fourth baby in the family.  The two oldest were boys (and you know how silly they can be!) and the youngest was just two and her name was Anna.  They knew the fourth baby in the family was going to be a girl.  So, the boys thought and laughed and giggled over the silliest names - but they finally decided they wanted to name the newest little sister in the family Dianna.  They told their Mom and Dad that they thought the new baby should be named Dianna because it was in honor of their littlest sister, Anna.  Their parents though that was so sweet and began thinking that sounded like a true, little Princess name.

They were kinda liking the sound of that name and the reference to both their little one, Anna and to Princess Dianna.  They liked it until they heard the boys saying "die Anna".  No malice was truly meant, but they were 2 little boys under seven years old and you know how they can be.  Well, little Dianna was named Claire - and truly looks and acts like a sweet Claire Bear! 

I bet you have heard stories of the sweetest or silliest or most unique name selection for a newborn baby.  Well, make it the most special gift of all for the newborn gifts!  Have a gift personalized with that newborn baby's name and see the delight and care that that special gift gets.  Make it personal!
