Personalized Infant Clothing
From LoveToKnow Baby
Personalized infant clothing makes a great baby gift.
Buying Personalized Infant Clothing
Many people steer away from personalized infant clothing, thinking that this type of clothing can only be worn for a short time and can't be handed down. While these are valid arguments, there are also some great reasons why purchasing personalized clothing for your baby or as a gift for someone else's child is a great choice.
- Create an heirloom. In many families, names are handed down from one generation to another. Think how wonderful it would be if your child was able to wear a piece of clothing that features the name he or she shares with an ancestor. While of course you can't predict the future, giving a piece of clothing that features a family name and has been handed down from one generation to another is a great way to create a treasured heirloom.
- Make a beautiful keepsake. If you are already a parent, you know how special some of your child's things are. While it just isn't practical to keep every piece of clothing your baby wore, you'll certainly want to keep a few pieces to remind you of how sweet and tiny he or she was. Personalized baby clothes make wonderful keepsakes that you can pass on to your child once he or she has grown and established a home of his or her own.
- Give unique gifts. If you are searching for clothing that features a unique look, then you really can't go wrong with personalized baby clothes. In many cases, new parents simply don't have to time to choose outfits and special order their child's name, or they don't want the added expense of having a child's name or initials embossed on clothing, blankets, etc. As a gift, however, this type of item will be welcome. You may find that your gift will be the hit of the baby shower!
Choices
What baby items can be personalized? Actually, just about anything!
- Shirts: These could include onesies, dressy tops, smocked shirts, etc.
- Dresses: Sweet infant dresses could feature baby's name or initials on the front or back.
- Bloomers: Purchase bloomers in pastels or white and have baby's name embroidered on the bottom.
- Gowns: Sleepers, dressy gowns, etc. will all look adorable with baby's name embroidered.
- Sweaters: Another great idea that will work for an infant boy or girl.
- Bubble suits: These are extremely popular for infants and toddlers, and they look great on little boys and little girls.
- Jackets: Lightweight jackets that feature baby's name along could also include a theme, such as flowers, sports related items, or animals.
- Hats: Any hat can be personalized, such as toboggans, baseball hats, sun hats, bonnets, etc.
- Accessories: Of course, there are numerous other accessories, such as bracelets, necklaces, backpacks, diaper bags, seat covers, stools, picture frames, Bibles, and books that can also have baby's name embroidered or engraved.
Not sure if the unborn baby is going to be a boy or a girl, but you need a shower gift? Why not purchase a gift certificate or an outfit in a generic color, such as yellow, green, lavender, or white? Be sure and tell the mom-to-be that you have already paid for the personalized embroidery. Do her a favor and take the outfit to be finished once the baby has been born.
