FREE DOWNLOAD: CHRISTMAS TAGS

Have you started wrapping presents yet? You’ve put so much thought into your holiday shopping list, including personalized children’s gifts, so to help you wrap them with as much care, our busy team of designers have created the perfect DIY printable tags. 

Download our free Christmas tags here.

With Santas, penguins and snowmen, as well as heartfelt season’s greetings, these adorable tags will top off all the treasured baby keepsakes ensconced inside.
But if you’re still looking for a last minute gift, there’s always the eGift Card option so your little elves can choose their own personalized growth charts, big brother tshirts, or big sister tees, or new mamas can pick out their fave personalized baby onesies.

CELEBRITY SIBLINGS OF THE WEEK: Kingston and Zuma Rossdale

In addition to being gorgeous and truly talented, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are also the parents of two rock star-in-the-making boys: Kingston and Zuma. These little trend-setters have worn it all – from preppy to punk, and can pull off any look as well as their stylish mom and dad.

Rock On Big Brother Tshirt from Petite Lemon

If we were to pick out a big brother tshirt for Kingston, it would definitely be our Rock On design. This tee can pair as easily with jeans and sneaks as a pair of camouflage pants and boots, perfect for this fashion chameleon that can rock any look, even a platinum blonde Mohawk.
Personalized growth charts are a great gift for little brothers, so they can show off how tall they’re getting too, and for Zuma, the sure-to-be future star who was named after a Southern California beach, we think either the Shooting Star personalized growth chart or Under the Sea personalized growth chart would make a great fit.

DECEMBER THEMED COLORING PAGES

What are you doing this weekend? There are probably a lot of events on the calendar, including visits with Santa, parties, etc, which is always fun but can get the kids wound up! For a little relaxing downtime, print out these fun and festive holiday-themed coloring sheets we designed. The kids will enjoy coloring them in and you’ll get a moment to chill out too!

Tip: Add the year to the December coloring sheet and place it into their scrapbook of baby keepsakes.

DESIGN OF THE WEEK: LOVE TO SKETCH

One of the most popular designs in our big sister tshirt and big brother tshirt collection is Love to Sketch – it was even featured on People.com’s Moms & Babies site!  The big brother tshirt comes in blue/green and primary color options, while the big sister tees are also in blue/green and primary, as well as candy and purple/aqua hues. We love the fun, oversized sketch-style font, which is hip and stylish, while still child-like.

HOW DO OUR TEES FIT?

Personalized tees make excellent baby keepsakes, but you also want to get the most wear out of them before putting them away with your little one’s most treasured items, so fit is a big factor. We’ve put together videos that offer good insight into the fit and care of any of our personalized baby onesies, cap sleeve, short sleeve, long sleeve and baseball sleeve tshirts.

5 GIFTS FOR BIG BROTHERS

Last week we featured five great gifts for big sisters, so of course we wanted to follow that up with fab holiday gifts for big brothers.

Under Construction, Modern Fun, and Playful Owls big brother tshirt

A big brother tshirt that displays his status as big bro will be worn proudly well beyond the holidays.
Meal time will no longer be a chore when he gets to work on anything you serve on this Construction Plate & Utensils from Uncommon Goods.

Ho Ho Ho will turn into Yo Ho Ho when your big boy opens up his very own personalized pirate book, complete with a skull-emblazoned black bandana from Red Envelope.

He’ll spend hours of constructive playtime on this super Workbench we found on Rosie Hippo.

Creative toys make lifelong gifts by building imaginations, so we especially loved these Gluten-Free Aromatic Play Clay Sets from MamaKs on Etsy. Plus each color is scented with organic essential oils, perfect for active (and sometimes stinky!) boys.
P.S. Don’t forget, today is the final day to order baby keepsakes, like personalized growth charts, alphabet posters, big sister tees or personalized baby onesies, with expedited delivery in time for Christmas. Plus, we’re offering $10 off any order order $45 with rush shipping, so now’s the time!

GETTING PERSONAL!

We love names, they inspire us and what we do, but personalization isn’t just about a first name. There are a variety of ways to create personalized tshirts for kids or childrens growth charts that fit any family’s style.
Though there is a 12 character limit, personalization is also about customization. Here are a few different ways to create the perfect look:

 

Instead of one name, show off two, like the Over the Rainbow big sister tshirt which features both sisters’ names, or this Butterfly Kisses personalized growth chart which has both the first and middle names.

 Make it a family affair, like the My Town and Picture Me personalized growth charts, which can highlight the last name (especially great for kids who share a room or maybe even for the grandparent’s house)!

Monsterrific, Perfect Pennant, and Name it personalized growth charts

If there are multiple kids, consider a personalized growth chart that says “Sisters,” “Brothers,” or your nickname for them, like “Angels”.

COOL NAME OF THE WEEK: CHARLIE

Though Charlie means free man, this good-time name is equally sweet for both boys and girls, making it our Cool Name of the Week. Of English origin, Charlie was most popular for boys in 1950 and is a diminutive of Charles (German for strong man), as well as Charlotte (French for petite and feminine).
Below are some personalized growth charts and big brother tshirts inspired by a few of our favorite Charlies.

Little brother Charlie may want to give Harry a big brother tshirt (like Double Trouble) for biting his finger in this adorable YouTube video, which is one of the most watched videos of all time.

 

The Up Up Away personalized growth chart would have been a wonderful reminder to Charlie Bucket of his amazing experience in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

Whether fans of jazz (Charlie Parker) or country (Charlie Daniels), the Rock On big brother tshirt is a great choice for any music lover.

Though Lucy was always pulling back the football before Charlie Brown could kick it, he still loved playing sports, so we think the Junior Varsity personalized growth chart would be a real score with him.
Do you have a Charlie?

TOP 5 HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR BIG SISTERS

Being the big sister means having to share so much – attention, toys, and definitely clothes at some point down the line – so giving your firstborn daughter a special gift just for her for the holidays is a nice way to let her know she’ll always be your special girl. Here are some sweet gift picks she’s sure to love:

A personalized big sister tshirt is all about her and something she will cherish (and won’t have to share!).

We love these personalized rag dolls from Red Envelope, they’re adorable and a perfect way for a big sis (or sister-to-be) to show affection and nurture a little one.

These darling little hand-stamped aluminum cuffs from KgDesignsJewelry on Etsy will be worn in stylish pride.
She may not have forgotten she was once the baby of the family, but this sweet personalized book On The Day I Was Born will let her know you haven’t forgotten how big of an impact she had on your life.  (Image found on The Creative Mama)

If she’s moved from the nursery to her own big girl room, a personalized growth chart will add a nice touch to her new space. (Petite Lemon personalized growth charts)
