Make The Celebration Special With A Personalized Baby Shower Gift

by Donald Saunders

There are a dozen effective and beautiful ways to personalize any baby shower gift and the results can make a gift truly special.

A gift could be personalized by adding a simple sticker on the underside, embossing it on the side or stitching it across the top. It could display the baby’s name, the the names of the parents, the grandparents’ names or the name of the giver.

A baby shower gift can even be decorated with a meaningful logo, phrase or photo. The text may be chosen by the giver or conceived by the gift’s designer. A logo may be created by a professional designer or by the person who gives the gift. A photo might be chosen from a range of professional stock images or supplied and incorporated into the baby gift.

Personalization literally transforms an otherwise impersonal gift into a keepsake that will be treasured forever. It offers a reminder of festive events and provides an incentive to hand the gift down from generation to generation. Monogramming can add names to items made of cloth and printing can personalize anything that is capable of absorbing ink.

A Slumber Bear, for instance, makes for an ideal present. Babies love the soft, teddy bear design and parents feel safe knowing the present is durable and made from good materials. In later years both parents and the then baby can look back on the baby shower at which the gift was received and personalization will make the memories all the sweeter.

Yet another wonderful gift is a Dilly the Duck cashmere booster pillow which offers the ideal opportunity to stitch on the baby’s name. In the years to come this present will progress from a loved nursery item to a reminder of those tender years. Years after it has been given both parties can remember back to the happy moments spent reading a story while the young one’s head rested on it.

And storybooks can themselves be personalized in the shape of a Fairy Tale book that carries all sorts of of individual markings. For stories which are written by the child’s parents, they can simply be signed with the author’s name and date. When the book is bought then the giver can sign and date the book and print the name of the recipient. All these methods and more turn a simple storybook into a cherished souvenir of childhood.

Yet another baby shower gift which offers the opportunity for personalization is a birth plate on which to paint the baby’s name across the rim or on the base. Here the best option is perhaps to print the baby’s name, birth date and weight along the rim to commemorate the birth of that very special individual who entered your life on that day.
