Delectable Monogrammed Baby Gifts
One of the most joyous occasions in any family is the arrival of a new baby. From that first visit to the doctor s office to the excitement and emotion in the delivery room, there is approximately nine months of anticipation, preparation, smiles, and celebration. Baby showers held both before and after the birth are very common to give an expectant and/or new mother. This is an enjoyable time for all of the family and friends.
It can be difficult sometimes to choose the best present for the new bundle of joy. Even with the aid of gift registries in most major stores, many shower-attendees are looking for ways to add a special and personal touch. This is not so easy to do with a package of diapers or onesies from a department store. If you have not already considered, monogrammed baby gifts may be just what the stork ordered.
Rock-A-Bye Baby
When you think of monogrammed baby gifts, your original thoughts may jump to a tiny ruffled pillow and/or a soft and snuggly blanket. The baby s name and date of birth are intricately embroidered into the fabric, with the initials added underneath. The blanket and pillow are certainly nice, sincere ideas and can be used in and for the nursery. They also make for lasting keepsakes as the child grows.
There are many other monogrammed baby gift ideas out there, aside from the blanket. Many viewers may remember when Charlotte receives an engraved baby rattle from Tiffany s on Sex and the City. She and her soon-to-be ex had already tried and given up on getting a bun in the oven by the time the teeny item had been delivered to the Park Avenue townhouse. You may not have the time or money to order a rattle from the ever famous jewelry store, but you can still find some beautiful sterling silver baby rattles at local shopping malls or jewel establishments.
Decorative wall art is another popular monogrammed baby gift; from blankets to hand-painted plates that include the birth information and foot prints. Baby spoon and fork sets, wash cloths, and diaper bags can be easily engraved with the little one s initials and a special message, if desired. A delicate jewelry box that plays a soft tune can make for a very special monogrammed baby gift; something that can be used long after the babe has grown out of onesies and receiving blankets.
