I think one of the best parts of the internet revolution is the fantastic personalised gifts you can find online. When baby boy was born we received the cutest fleece blanket with his name embroidered on it. It’s been used for everything from a make-shift bath towel to cosy picnic blanket and is definitely one of my favourite gifts.
I’ve seen lots of variations of personalised baby gifts, from monogrammed teddy bears to baby’s first story book. But I think personalised birth announcements and baby stationery have got to be the most original ideas I’ve heard in awhile. I don’t think I’d necessarily except it from a colleague or one of the ladies from my yoga class, but I can’t think of anything more touching than receiving bespoke cards to celebrate the birth of my little one from a close friend or family member.
I think it would be an extra special gift coming from your mom or sister. With the photo personalisation they could use one of your baby photos, together with your own baby’s. Or maybe they have a special candid shot that would make the perfect announcement card. Whatever the style or design, I can’t think of a better gift for a new mom and that gift of sharing the pride and love for her child with everyone.
