There are always some must-haves when a new baby is on the way, but sometimes when you’re going to a baby shower, you just want to buy something that’s different and fun, not just functional. Because as much as parents need breast pumps or baby butt cream, as parents we know it’s the personalized or custom created gifts that will become the baby keepsakes we’ll want to hold on to.
Here are 5 of our favorite customized baby shower gifts:
Shown: Zoo Friends, 1 to 10, and Dinomite personalized growth charts
A personalized growth chart is a long lasting gift that parents will use for years and kids will eventually look forward to using as well to show off how tall they are.
Create a DIY quilt for baby and incorporate tshirts from the parents (and maybe a big sister tshirt or big brother tshirt too) to create a truly personal gift. (Image courtesy of Maiden Jane)
Being in the hospital is never fun, but creating a custom survival kit with the mama-to-be’s favorite snacks, guilty pleasures, pampering treats, etc will be greatly appreciated at a crucial time (Image courtesy of Hines Catch Up blog)
Parents can never have enough onesies, so they’ll especially love a small collection of personalized baby onesies that show them the love too.
A memory book will hold so many special memories and having one specially created for baby, like this one from Nanilu Design on Etsy, just adds to its nostalgic value.
