What We Love Right Now: Gray & Yellow
As designers, we tend to get obsessed at times with certain colors or patterns, and right now we really love the combination of yellow and gray together. This color combo can be soft and sophisticated, bright and cheerful, or rich and chic, not to mention it works just as well as a gender neutral palette as it does for feminine or masculine designs.
In addition to our personalized baby gifts, we’ve pulled together some gorgeous yellow and gray décor ideas for nurseries, baby showers, and 1st birthday parties.

Corporate Gifting: Personalized Baby Gifts
Personalized growth charts and personalized onesies make excellent baby shower gifts, we’ve given them to our friends and families for years, but we recently realized that they are also a perfect choice for corporate gifting.
We know plenty of people who have received flowers from their employers once their baby was born. And though flowers are beautiful and appreciated, most new moms and dads are so absorbed in their new baby that they don’t have the time (or truthfully, the energy) to enjoy them. So when we realized one of our long time repeat customers were buying personalized growth charts for their employees’ newborns, the light went on. A personalized growth chart or a set of personalized onesies costs about the same as a nice bouquet of flowers and while flowers wilt within days, these personalized baby gifts will last for a long time. Brilliant!
Do you purchase “welcome baby” gifts for your employees? Do you stick with flowers or have you chosen personalized baby gifts, like tees, onesies or growth charts?
Baby Gift Trend: Pantone’s Spring Colors
Groundhog Day was this past Sunday and Punxsutawney Phil declared six more weeks of winter, which means we’ll need to dream of spring a little longer. Surrounding ourselves with bright hues, like those Pantone forecasts as the top colors of the season, is one way to make it through another month and a half of cold weather.
And if you’ll be attending a baby shower soon, why not choose a present in one or more of these springy tones. To inspire you, we’ve picked a few of our favorite personalized baby gifts in some of these fab colors.
Personalized onesies in shades of Radiant Orchid, Placid Blue, Dazzling Blue, and/or Celosia Orange will surely be a big hit.

For a boy, girl, or gender neutral baby shower, a personalized growth chart is an ideal gift. To be on trend for Spring 2014, choose a personalized growth chart that features a mix of Paloma, Radiant Orchid, Placid Blue, Dazzling Blue, Cayennne, Freesia, Violet Tulip, and/or Celosia Orange (What is your favorite Pantone Spring 2014 color?
