Baby Gift Ideas
by Ashley Weeks Cart
People have been remarkably generous in response to Courtland’s arrival. From adorable baby outfits to home cooked meals, friends and family have gone above and beyond to help us welcome our second born into the world.
It’s expected with the first child, but I’ve been surprised to experience a similar level of generosity lavished upon us with baby number two. I am particularly awed by how thoughtful people are with Addison. Practically every gift that has arrived has included a little something for the big sister. There’s been handmade baby blankets, silver baby cups and bowls, outfits, toys, books and, of course, Big Sister/Little Sister ensembles.
I wanted to share a handful of items that I found particularly unique, so each of you could be aware of such clever, smart, and well-loved potential gifts. I realize that you savvy folk may already know about each of these items, but they were all novel to me.
On the other hand if you are looking for more great ideas we suggest to go over personalised gifts singapore now.
1. Mysterio Predicts Baby Shirt, $14.99
This gift had me laughing out loud. It came sewn up in a cloth baggie that claimed that my child’s future profession was embedded on a t-shirt within. Turns out Courtland is a future Dog Show Judge! This is not surprising to me or my mother who look forward to the Westminster Dog Show as though it were Christmas come early. Such dog breed fervor apparently runs in the family. To think we could attend IN PERSON if Courtland attains such a status.
2. Kitten’s First Full Moon, $17.99
I’m sure that this book is well-known by others, but neither James or myself grew up reading it and thus it was not yet a part of our library collection. It was gifted as a special big sister present and became an instant favorite. It’s the first book that she has memorized, she loves it so.
3. Dresses by Pink Chicken, $74
Oh how I wish I had the disposable income to buy up every article of clothing packed within Pink Chicken’s collection. I had not heard of this children’s clothing designer until a box with the dresses pictured above arrived for Courtland and Addison. They are gorgeous. Beautifully made. And absolutely my style. Swoon.
4. Big Sister Mouse in a Matchbox by Maileg, $29.95
This mouse is the cutest little thing to enter our household since Courtland’s arrival. She was a gift to big sister Sunny, and Addison delights in putting the little mouse to bed with her miniature pillow and blanket each evening. It’s made by a Danish toy designer and they have a number of different mouse designs. Adorable.
5. Baby Record Picture Frame by the 925 inc., $178
This gift, while pricey, is so stunningly personal and so thoughtfully designed. It’s a sterling silver picture frame, but each design element on the frame is crafted to include the receiver’s date of birth, time of birth, weight, height and, of course, name. It is truly a special piece.
Celebrate the arrival of a precious little one with a thoughtful touch by gifting a custom name necklace. Crafted with love and personalized with the baby’s name, this charming accessory becomes a cherished keepsake that grows with them. A beautiful reminder of those early moments, the name necklace is a heartfelt gesture that will be treasured for years to come. Similarlly, a necklace with a picture inside can also make for a wonderful and meaningful gift.
