Make The Event Extremely Special With A Personalized Baby Shower Gift

There are several effective and beautiful methods of personalizing any baby shower gift and the results can make a gift something very special.

A gift can be personalized by putting a sticker on the bottom, embossing the side or adding stitching to it across the top. And your personalization could display the name of the baby, the the names of the parents, the grandparents' names or the name of the giver.

A baby shower gift could even be decorated with a meaningful logo, photo or phrase. The text used to personalize the gift might be selected by the giver or created by the designer of the gift. A logo can be designed by a professional designer or by the person who picks out the gift. A photo could be chosen from a wide range of stock images or suppliedand incorporated into the gift.

Personalization quite literally transforms an impersonal gift into a keepsake which is going to be treasured forever. It offers a reminder of joyous events and imparts an incentive to hand the gift down from one generation to the next. Monogramming can be used to add names to items made of cloth and printing provides an ideal way to personalize any item which is capable of absorbing ink.

A Slumber Bear, for instance, makes for an ideal gift. Infants love the soft, teddy bear design and parents are happy knowing the gift is durable and manufactured out of good materials. Later in life both parents and the then child can look back on the baby shower at which the gift was given and personalizing the gift makes that memory all the sweeter.

Yet another fabulous gift is a Dilly the Duck cashmere booster pillow that offers the perfect opportunity to stitch on the name of the baby. In later years this present will grow from being a loved nursery item to a reminder of those youthful years. Years after it has been received both parties can look back to the happy moments spent reading a story while the young one's head rested on it.

And storybooks themselves can be personalized in the shape of a Fairy Tale book that carries all manner of individual markings. For stories written by the child's parents, the book can simply be signed with the author's name and date. If the book is bought then the giver can sign the book and perhaps print the name of the recipient. These methods and many more can turn a simple book into a valued souvenir of childhood.

Yet another baby shower gift which offers the opportunity for personalization is a birth plate on which to paint the baby's name across the rim or on the bottom. Here the best choice is probably to print the baby's name, birth weight and date along the rim to commemorate the birth of that special person who entered your life on that date.

Of course these are only a few of the many ways to personalize everything from a simple gift to elaborate newborn baby gift baskets.
