Make The Celebration Really Special With A Personalized Baby Shower Gift

There are a lot of beautiful and effective methods of personalizing a baby shower gift and the results can change a gift into something very special.

A gift could be personalized by adding a sticker on the underside, embossing the side or adding stitching to it across the top. It can display the name of the baby, the parents' names, the grandparents' names or the name of the giver.

The baby shower gift may even be decorated with a meaningful logo, photo or phrase. The text used to personalize the gift might be selected by the giver or added by the gift's designer. A logo could be drawn by a professional artist or by the individual who buys the gift. A photo might be chosen from a wide range of professional stock images or suppliedand incorporated into the gift.

Personalization transforms an impersonal gift into a keepsake that is going to be kept and treasured forever. It gives a reminder of happy events and imparts an incentive to hand the gift down from one generation to the next. Monogramming can add names to items made of cloth and printing can personalize any item which will absorb ink.

For instance, a slumber bear makes for a wonderful present. Babies adore the soft, teddy bear design while parents feel safe knowing the gift is strong and manufactured out of good materials. In later years both parents and the then baby can look back on the baby shower at which the gift was given and personalization will make the memories all the sweeter.

Another wonderful gift is a Dilly the Duck cashmere booster pillow which affords the perfect opportunity to stitch on the name of the baby. In the years to come this gift will change from a loved nursery item to a reminder of those tender years. Years after it has been received both parties can remember back to the many happy times spent reading a storybook while the youngster's head nestled into it.

Those storybooks can themselves be personalized in the shape of a Fairy Tale book that carries all sorts of of individual markings. For stories that are written by the child's parents, the storybook can be signed with the author's name. 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 turn a simple storybook into a treasured reminder of childhood.

Another baby shower gift which offers the opportunity for personalization is a birth plate on which to paint the baby's name around the rim or on the bottom. The best choice is possibly 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.

These are of course only a few of the many ways to create personalized baby shower gifts.
