As many gender-neutral designs as we create, we still can’t tear ourselves away from creating classic blue and pink looks. It may sound cliché, but sometimes there’s just nothing wrong with giving a girl something pink and a boy something blue. We recently introduced some pink and blue onesies (as well as gray and our standard white to satisfy all tastes) and if you’re buying personalized baby gifts, we thought we’d round up some additional gifts to add to onesies to create a fantastic, custom gift set.

Baby Shower Theme: Orange
July and August are some of the hottest months of the year, also the months with the most births, so we’re guessing you’ve got a baby shower or two in your future. If you’re planning to throw a shower or just attend one, a sunny theme for décor and gifts is orange. This juicy hue is gender neutral, so whether you know the sex of the baby or not, you really can’t go wrong.
Here are some of our favorite citrusy picks for baby shower gifts and décor:
Onesies are a must for newborns. Make them personalized baby onesies and you have a super thoughtful gift that will be both used and adored. Pair with booties or a rattle for a great gift set.
