Personalized Baby Shower Gift

There are a dozen beautiful and effective methods of personalizing a baby shower gift and the results can make a gift something really 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 quite literally transforms an impersonal present into a keepsake which is going to be treasured for many years. It provides a reminder of festive occasions and imparts an incentive to pass the gift on from one generation to the next. Monogramming can add a name to items made of cloth and printing can personalize any item which can absorb 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.

Another lovely gift is a Dilly the Duck cashmere pillow that offers the perfect opportunity to stitch on the baby's name. In the years to come this gift will grow from a treasured nursery item to a reminder of those tender years. Many years after it has been given both parties can remember back to the happy moments spent reading a story while the youngster's head nestled into it.

And storybooks themselves can be personalized in the shape of a Fairy Tale book which carries all sorts of of individual markings. For stories that have been written by the parents, the storybook can simply 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 perhaps print the name of the recipient. These methods and more can turn a simple book into a precious memento of childhood.

Yet another gift that allows personalization is a birth plate on which to paint the baby's name across the rim or on the bottom. The best choice is perhaps to print the baby's name, birth date and weight along the rim to mark the birth of that very special individual who entered your life on that day.
