Baby Shower Trend: Nautical

Expecting a summer baby? A nautical theme is not only perfect for the season, it’s also easily done for boys, girls, or gender neutral showers. Highlighting anchors, boats, whales and other sea creatures, we’ve found some beyond sea-worthy décor and gift finds for a nautically nice shower.

Hanging this mobile from Jaded Rabbit on Etsy over a crib will surely inspire an ocean of dreams.

Cool Name of the Week: HANK

Though most people think of Hank purely as a nickname for Henry, which is of old Germanic origin meaning “ruler of the house,” it’s a solid
name that can stand on its own and has for some legendary men. And falling off the popular baby name charts, it’s slowly rising back to popularity again, which is why Hank is our Cool Name of the Week.
We’ve chosen a few big brother tshirts that would make perfect personalized childrens gifts for little Hanks.

A fan of baseball legend Hank Aaron or music man Hank Williams Jr? The Batter Up Big Brother Tshirt or Rock On Big Brother Tshirt are great choices.

The Retro Style Big Brother Tshirt is perfect for the boy who can carry off this formerly old school name.

Which big brother tshirts do you think are fitting baby keepsakes for boys named Hank?

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo is this Sunday and though margaritas, guacamole, and mariachis are a fun way for mamas and daddies to celebrate this cultural Mexican holiday, the kiddos would prefer a fun fiesta with piñatas. We’ve rounded up some fun kids’ activities and gifts to pay homage to the 5th of May.

SheKnows.com has several fun Cinco de Mayo themed DIY tutorials, including this one for paper cup Maracas.

Do your wee ones speak Spanish? Whether they’re bilingual or not, the multilingual Around the World Big Sister Tshirtand Big Brother Tshirt from our line of personalized tshirts for kids make a fun way to inspire an interest in languages.

Birthday Party Theme: Numbers

What kid doesn’t love showing off how old they are, whether it’s with their fingers or by saying “I’m 3 and a half” or “I’m 5 and a quarter”? So why not use their age as a theme for their next birthday party. We’ve rounded up some numeral themed décor and gifts.

DECOR:

Numbered cookies, like these from Cookie Coterie on Etsy, make tasty party favors.

Not just great for party décor, this cut out number from My Primitive Boutique on Etsy also makes a perfect photo prop.
A crepe paper number makes a great décor centerpiece, like this one we found on At The Corner of Happy and Harried blog.

An ideal gift for a number themed birthday party, this numbered wood puzzle from mnflash on Etsy is adorable, fun and educational.

Gifts that inspire hobbies or passions are always wonderful and a paint by numbers set, like this one from Faber Castell, could create a budding artist.

Celebrity Kids: Sadie & Sunny Sandler

She may be about to turn seven next month, but funnyman Adam Sandler’s daughter Sadie already has seven movies under her belt and her own IMDB page, in addition to being a big sister to Sunny.
A great birthday gift would be some big sister tees inspired by the movies she’s appeared in.

The lei-themed Blooms Big Sister Tshirt brings to mind Just Go With It, which was set in Hawaii.
The Charming Castle Big Sister Tshirt or Looks Like Me Princess Big Sister Tshirt would be perfect for Sadie, who played the “Sweetest Medieval Girl of All Time” in Bedtime Stories.

Sadie teams up with sister Sunny in Grown Ups and the upcoming sequel, so this pair would look adorable in the Double Trouble Big Sister Tshirt.
Which of these big sister tees do you think fits Sadie’s style best?

Cool Name of the Week: Lucas

Some names just never go out of style. Usually it’s because it sounds good, is easy to pronounce, has a sense of solidity, and has an interesting meaning behind it. Lucas, of Latin origin meaning “bringer of light,” fits that criteria and so we’ve chosen it as our Cool Name of the Week.
We’ve rounded up some big brother tshirts and personalized growth charts that fit this popular boy’s name, which can also be shortened to Luke or Luca, and would make great baby keepsakes.

The Super Big Brother Tshirt and Preppy Pennant personalized growth chart in Butter Yellow definitely brings the light to a boy named Lucas.

Saint Luke was the patron saint of artists and creatives, so the Love to Sketch Big Brother Tshirt, Color Me personalized growth chart, or Playful Doodles Big Brother Tshirt would be a good match

Not just popular in the US, Lucas (and its variants) top baby name charts globally, so the Around the World Big Brother Tshirt is an ideal choice.

Which of these big brother tshirts would you choose for your Lucas?

He may not want to carry a diaper bag that looks like a purse, so a masculine bag, like this one from Diaper Dude, is perfect.

Nursery Design Trend: Photos

When creating a nursery, everyone wants theirs to not only look nice, but to also be special and different. One way to make a nursery uniquely your own is to incorporate family photos and baby keepsakes, like mom and/or dad’s own framed baby handprints. Consider a mix of family photos in a variety of frame shapes and sizes along with other personalized items, like childrens growth charts and photo posters, as well as artwork, oversized letters, mirrors, or items from your own childhood.

Shown: Picture Me and All About Love personalized growth charts.

Photo posters make great décor that will become the best baby keepsakes.

Bookends that also act as photo frames, like this one we saw on Pinterest, are super cute and multi-functional.

Create a simple “family tree” of pictures with a removable wall decal, like this one from WallDecalTime on Etsy.
Here are a few photos from Project Nursery that show various ways to display photos in your nursery:
