Gifts for New Baby

Personalized baby blankets are a gift that is practical now and can also become a keepsake in the future. Recently, I gave birth to my first child and received a blanket with a special message on it as a gift. I had never seen these blankets before and I was really overwhelmed by the gift.

A great way to give a message to a new family is personalized baby blankets. I have been really surprised by all the love and support I have received from friends since Harry was born. I am an only child, so there are some aspects of motherhood that didn’t come naturally to me. Leading up to the birth I was really apprehensive. My family put in together to get the blanket for Harry.

Personalized baby blankets can say whatever you want. My family included Harry’s name, his birthday and a very touching message:

For Harry, from his family who will always be there to love and support him

My family are not the kind of people who are overly touchy-feely, so this was their way of telling both me and Harry that they would always be there to help whenever we needed them.

Little Harry loves his personalized baby blankets. The term security blanket really applies in this instance, Harry likes to have his blanket with him wherever he goes. In a soft powder blue colour, it looks just adorable when I push him around the block in his stroller and he is tucked into his blanket.

Passers-by will often coo at Harry, they see his name on the personalized baby blankets and greet him. He now responds whenever he hears anyone say ‘Harry’. He is such a clever little boy, he really amazes me everyday.

Two of my friends are due to have babies very soon. I used to spend a lot of time shopping for the perfect baby gift whenever someone in my family or group of friends was expecting. I don’t need to shop around anymore, I always order a personalized baby blankets straight away.

I think that personalized baby blankets make a great idea. Even if someone buys the same gift as you, the message on the blanket is bound to be different. Of course, all new parents will tell you that you can never have enough baby blankets. If you are just a casual friend of the parents, simply have the baby’s name embroidered. If you are particularly close, you may want to have a longer detailed message included.

You can find a really great variety of personalized baby blankets online. They come in a whole range of colors and fabrics. Some will just have the baby’s name, others will allow you to have a detailed message of up to 200 characters embroidered onto the blanket.

Everyday both myself and Harry enjoy the personalized baby blankets that we received. If other people get as much sue and enjoyment out of the blankets as we do, then you simply could not find a better baby gift.
