New Year, New Designs Contest Winner!

Not only do we have the best jobs designing personalized growth charts, big brother shirts and big sisters shirts, 1st birthday shirts, etc, we have THE best readers and customers!! Last week we asked you all to give us your feedback on your favorite designs in our line of personalized baby gifts and offer some ideas of your own as well and boy did we get some great material to work with.
We heard you’re looking for nautical elements, pirates, more foxes and hedgehogs and animals in general, robots that appeal to both boys and girls, even more vehicles (construction, fire trucks, police cars, etc), and an especially cute idea was a Looks Like Me baby and dog design. We have some very creative fans!
In return for all this treasured feedback, we offered one reader a $50 gift card good towards any of our personalized baby gifts and Chelsea Reid was selected as the winner! Here’s what she had to say:

Thanks Chelsea and all of our wonderful readers and customers!
XOXO

Nursery Décor Trend: Winter Wonderland

For babies born at this time of year, we love the idea of creating a nursery with a winter wonderland theme. The theme entails lots of white, textured pieces, and often woodland accents and can be whimsical, hip, or rustic, but these nurseries will never leave you feeling cold.
We found several rooms that fit the winter wonderland theme and paired them with our personalized growth charts.

We’d pair our graphic black and white Design for Minikind personalized growth chart with this rustic, yet hip nursery from kjerstis lykke.

Complementing the woodsy feel of this wintry nursery, the Hoot Hoot and Woodland Fun personalized growth charts would also add an extra touch of color. (Kelly Hicks Design blog)

We’d choose a personalized growth chart with icy blues, like Shooting Star, Preppy Pennant, or Picture Me, to go with this chic white nursery with cozy, textured accents. (Décor Pad)
Do any of these nursery and personalized growth chart pairings inspire you to create a winter wonderland themed nursery?

Announce Your Pregnancy With Big Brother Shirts & Big Sister Shirts

We know we’re biased, but we love our big brother shirts and big sister shirts and feel they are an ideal way to announce a new pregnancy. Several of our team members, friends, and family have dressed their kids in a big brother t shirt or big sister tshirt to break the news, either in real life or in pictures posted on Facebook. And as much as we love that, we’re especially thrilled when we hear from a customer who has purchased one of our big brother t shirt or big sister tshirt designs to do it.
Our customer Tiffany recently sent us some pictures of her 2.5 year old son wearing his Dig In Big Brother T shirt and posing with a sign showing the month of his new sibling’s expected arrival. Tiffany tells us Mason loves to show people his big brother t shirt and gave the pictures to his grandmas and grandpas to announce he has a new big job. She say, “He really got a kick out of it! The shirt is awesome! It was everything I wanted and totally surpassed my expectations! Thank you!”
No, thank you Tiffany for sharing this story with us! It truly warms our hearts and inspires us to continue to create the best personalized baby gifts.

Let the tees do the talking! Pose your kiddo in a tshirt that says it all and have them hold the ultrasound picture.

Décor Trend: Adding Horoscope Elements to Your Kid's Decor

Whether or not you believe in horoscopes, the various animals and symbols of the Zodiac can offer a unique nursery design idea. Tied to your wee one’s birthdate, the horoscope theme adds a personal element to the space.
We’ve rounded up a range of fantastic horoscope themed décor pieces, including personalized growth charts, pillows, mobiles, etc.

The Animal Crackers personalized growth chart works for a few different horoscopes, including Capricorn (the goat), Pisces (the fish), or Leo (the lion). A Leo can also go with the Zoo Friends personalized growth chart or Doodle It Up personalized growth chart.

For a Cancer (the crab) or Pisces, the Mermaid Delight and Under the Sea personalized growth charts and crib mobile from LilSproutCreations work for either.

Handmade wooden horoscope puzzles make fab décor for a nursery and will eventually become a treasured plaything as baby grows. (IntricutDesigns)

We’re big fans of Jonathan Adler’s colorful needlepoint Zodiac pillows. (Jonathan Adler)
Have you incorporated your kiddo’s horoscope into their nursery? If so, what did you use, a personalized growth chart, toy, or other accent piece?
