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 baby shower gift could even be decorated by adding a meaningful logo, phrase or photo. The text may be selected by the giver or added by the gift's designer. A logo may be drawn by a professional artist or by the individual who gives the gift. A photo can be chosen from a wide 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.
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 great gift is a Dilly the Duck cashmere booster pillow that provides the ideal opportunity to stitch on the baby's name. In the years to come this present will evolve from a loved nursery item to a reminder of those youthful years. Years after it has been received both parties can remember back to the many happy times spent reading a storybook while the young one's head nestled into 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.
Another baby shower gift that allows personalization is a birth plate on which to paint the baby's name across the rim or on the bottom. Here the best choice is probably to print the baby's name, birth weight and date along the rim to mark the birth of that special person who came into your life on that date.
