We’ve done some fun roundups of great gift ideas for babies and kids before, because honestly, who doesn’t love surfing around on the interwebs looking for cool stuff, but we’ve been thinking more about the meaning behind gift giving. What is it that makes a gift truly memorable?
Is it special because it came from someone special or because it was homemade? Is it because it was pretty or just plain useful? There can be many reasons, but thoughtfulness is at the top of the list.
Of course we think personalization makes an ideal gift as it definitely fits the recipient to a tee (no, we won’t make a Big Sister Tshirt or Big Brother Tshirt pun here, though we kind of want to!).
We wanted our personalized growth charts, alphabet posters, and personalized shirts for kids to be individualized not just by name, but also by a child’s favorite color(s), interests (cars, animals, etc), personality or sibling status.
If Emmy was an animal lover who also liked the colors blue and purple, we’d choose our Zoo Friends personalized growth chart, Animal Crackers alphabet poster in Tutti Frutti, or Playful Doodles Little or Big Sister Tshirt to proudly declare her sibling status.
For Joshua, who likes trucks and tractors, as well as the colors blue and orange, we’d pick the Let’s Get to Work personalized growth chart, A To Z alphabet poster, or Modern Fun Little or Big Brother Tshirt (depending on his place in the family line up).
These gifts would be memorable ones because it shows we know the recipient and put some thought into what it is they like most.
