A new baby is one of the happiest reasons to send a gift. The gifts parents hold on to are usually the ones with the baby's name on them: a blanket, a bib, a keepsake they will pull out years from now. Because we run our own embroidery machine in our Chestnut Hill studio, personalized baby gifts are some of our favorite things to make. Here are the ideas we recommend most.
Why Personalized Baby Gifts Stand Out
New parents receive a lot of the same essentials. Adding a name, a monogram or a sweet stitched design turns a practical gift into a keepsake. It also helps your gift stand apart at the baby shower table.
Embroidered Baby Gift Baskets
Make Way for Ducklings Baby Gift Basket
Our Make Way for Ducklings Baby Gift Basket is a nod to the most famous family of ducks in Boston. A sunny yellow pail holds a duck plush, a copy of the beloved storybook, and a bib and burp cloth embroidered with a waddling duck, plus a few treats for the new parents. Larger sizes can add a fleece blanket embroidered with the baby's name.
Bear Necessities Baby Gift Basket
The Bear Necessities basket gives baby a very first teddy bear, along with a board book and a bib and burp cloth embroidered with a little bear face. Choose the blue Baby Boy version or the pink Baby Girl version. The keepsake size adds a fleece blanket embroidered with the baby's name, birth date and weight.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Baby Gift Basket
For sweet dreams, the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star basket arrives in a star shaped container with a plush lamb, a board book, a star plush, and a bib and burp cloth embroidered with a moon and stars. It includes note cards printed with the baby's name. Choose the soft pink or soft blue version.
Diaper Cake Baby Gift Basket
A diaper cake is a baby shower centerpiece that is as useful as it is sweet. Rolled diapers stack into three tiers and are dressed with baby essentials such as a plush toy, a rattle, socks and a bib and burp cloth, with note cards printed with the baby's name. Choose the blue Diaper Cake or the pink Diaper Cake.
Personalized Keepsakes on Their Own
Baby Stroller Blanket
The Baby Stroller Blanket is a soft fleece patchwork blanket with fringed seams, with the baby's name embroidered on one corner square. It comes in blue and red or pink and purple, and it goes from the stroller to the nursery.
Personalized Baby Bib
Our Baby Bib is a soft white terry bib edged in gingham trim. Choose a stitched design, the baby's name or both. Pair it with a matching burp cloth for an easy, thoughtful shower gift.
How Personalization Works
- Add the name on the product page: Type the baby's name, and the birth details where asked, before adding the gift to your cart.
- Not born yet? If the baby has not arrived or the name is still a secret, call us and we will talk through your options.
- Timing: Embroidered and personalized gifts ship within 3 to 5 business days, so plan a little extra time before a shower date.
- Gift message: Add your note in the order message box at checkout and we will tuck it inside.
