Buying that very first present for a new baby in the world is exciting. It’s your chance to share the joy brought into a home by that tiny person and to show how much you care.

As a recent new auntie, (last week in fact!) for the first time this is a child which I will love almost like my own, minus the labour pains, and for that reason, I immediately want to purchase something very special and memorable for my brother’s first little bundle of joy – a personalized baby gift.

Obviously, we have already done the ‘useful’ steam sterilizer gift for them, which you always want to do with family. The focus when a family member has a baby is always on providing things which will help them out rather than increase the array of newborn clothes and toys which will come from those who are not so closely related.

But as an over-excited auntie, I can’t just sit back and watch these beautiful toys and gift coming and be satisfied looking at my sterilizer – after all, my nephew will not be playing with it anytime soon! So, my thoughts immediately turn to what I can provide, without breaking the bank as I’ve already bought a gift, which will give my nephew a little something special which is his, from his auntie, uncle & 2 little cousins.

As I am also based in a different country to him, something that can make up for all the cuddles I am missing out on, leads me to a soft plush toy, and as a big fan, I will also be sending him the personalized kids Gund baby lamb gift that I feature on this blog. As I know it’s safe for him also, I know mummy and daddy will be happy with my choice too. I can’t wait to see him snuggling up to it on the webcam!

Many have asked me why I chose to feature this personalized baby gift product rather than the many others I mention in my various posts. This is because as a mother, I understand that when your child is small, baby safety is paramount. I confiscated endless toys given to me for the birth of my child or for their 1st birthday simply because they did not meet the safety standards I felt were key.

The cuddly aspect of this wonderful gift means that it can be a companion to your baby all the way through to being a toddler and you can wash it countless times.

The personalization aspect of it also means that it is unique and immediately becomes a memorable and special toy not only in my mind but also in the mind of my child. It is of course also an affiliate link, I am not going to lie! But, as a mother, I have relied on recommendations and word of mouth from other mothers and having personally purchased this product, I am confident in the quality and value that it provides.

What a super mom story! A resourceful mother I read about today, Abbey Pecoriello, turned to her own crafting skills to ensure her daughter did not miss out on designer personalized baby products.Many mothers gathered at her house and eventually she ended up also teaching art at her local community center.

She made so many wonderful items like personalized frames and even wipe boxes, that she ended up writing a book to help other mothers with no experience or established skills, to make their own personalized kids and baby gifts in an inexpensive way and suit them to their child’s interests and personality.

The book is called Crafty Mama Makes 49 Fast, Fabulous, Foolproof (Baby & Toddler) Projects, for all those interested in learning more.

If someone close to you is having a baby, for example, a family member or a very close friend, then you will want something unique, such as a personalized gift. I recently came across an article about Mobile Moms – about a lady called Eva Centeno who went on a worldwide search to find unique baby shower gifts which are special, meaningful and lasting.

“The birth of a baby is such an exciting and special occasion,” Eva comments. “My customers were telling me that they wanted to give personalized gifts for kids that would be cherished by the parents and that the child would enjoy having when they got older.”

I was very interested to hear that Eva has sourced her items from around the world and can personalize even towels and clothing with not only names but even the birth date, and has a variety of price points to allow all customers to buy gift that will be appreciated and loved for years to come.
