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.
The gift can even be decorated by adding a meaningful phrase, logo or photo. The text could be selected by the giver or conceived by the designer of the gift. A logo can be drawn by a professional or by the person who picks out the gift. A photo might be selected from a range of stock images or supplied by the giver 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.
For instance, a slumber bear makes for an ideal present. Babies love the cuddly, teddy bear design and parents are happy knowing the present is durable and made from good materials. Later in life both parents and the then baby will be able to look back on the baby shower when the gift was given and personalizing the gift 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 themselves can be personalized in the shape of a Fairy Tale book that carries all manner of individual markings. For stories that are written by the child’s parents, they can be signed with the author’s name and date. When the book is purchased then the gift giver can sign and date the book and print the name of the recipient on the flyleaf. These methods and many more can 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.
