Thoughtful Personalized Baby Gifts

If you’ve ever received an invitation to a baby shower or found out someone close to you was expecting, one of the biggest questions is what to get them. There are more baby products on the market than we can keep track of, and some of them will make you wonder what they are even used for. So instead of getting overwhelmed by all the items out there, buy something more thoughtful and customized for the new baby. Here are some personalized baby items sure to make great gifts.

Purchasing a Baby Gift

Even though these gifts will make wonderful presents at a baby shower, they can also be great for a new parent to purchase for their little one. Below are a few key points to think about before you buy anything:

• Use: While not all personalized baby gifts can actually be used, why not try to make sure the one you buy can be? From rattles to blankets to stuffed animals, there are plenty of personalized gifts out there that also serve a purpose.
• Size: Babies grow quickly, so if you want your gift to follow the little one into toddlerhood, be sure to buy something larger or appropriate for the specific time or age you have in mind.
• Safety: There a few people more worried than new parents (especially first-time parents), so make sure anything you purchase is safety certified—no dangerous small parts or strings attached.
• Nontoxic: Things such as teethers or binkies will be in the new baby’s mouth a lot, so make sure they are safe and nontoxic, especially free of anything like BPA.
