Personalized Gifts for a Baby
A personalized gift can mean a lot to a baby when she grows older. Birthdays and Christmas are the perfect time to pick out a personalized gift. Choose a personalized gift for the baby's christening as well. Have the baby's name or her initials monogrammed on an item that she hold onto for years to come. Does this Spark an idea?

Photo Gifts
-
When a baby is born friends and relatives typically send gifts. Congratulate the new parents by creating a photo gift. For instance, have a silver frame engraved with the baby's name and her birth date. Another idea is to create a photo gift from photographs of the newborn. Scan images into a .jpg format and use an online photo printing company. Turn the photos into a calendar to memorialize the baby's first year. Add captions and titles to each page of the calendar.
Ornaments
-
Give a Christmas gift that the baby cherishes when he is older. Order a Christmas ornament that has the baby's name on it. Several online retail stores specialize in personalizing items. Pick out an ornament that says "Baby's First Christmas." Just enter the baby's name online and have the personalized ornament sent to the baby's house. Send a few ornaments to help the family remember this special occasion. Another idea is to include the names of the entire family.

Religious Gifts
-
A religious gift is perfect for the baby's christening. Pick out a cross and have it personalized with the baby's name. A personalized cross is a beautiful addition to the baby's room. Or, have a rosary bracelet personalized so the baby can use it to learn about spirituality when she grows older. Also, bake some cookies for the baby's christening party. Add the baby's name to the cookies and a little cross under the baby's name.
Other Items
-
A baby's room that has little furniture could look great with a monogrammed beanbag chair. Also, pick out a plain onesie and monogram the baby's name on it. Take a stitching class to learn to monogram the baby's name on clothes yourself. Sew the baby's name on a sweater as well. Or, have the baby's stocking monogrammed with his name for Christmas. Sewing the name yourself shows that you made some extra effort.
