The Gift Of Personalized Baby Clothing

By Michelle Bery

The birth of a baby is a joyful and momentous occasion – one that is shared with family and friends as we unite to welcome this new life. Part of the celebration of birth is often the gathering of loved ones for a baby shower – presenting the parents-to-be with gifts for their new family member. While many gifts are utilitarian in nature – and much needed – such as a car seat, changing table, or stroller, others are more personal in nature. Personalized baby clothing can be a lovely gift for a new baby and a keepsake for many years to come.

Personalized baby clothing can be described as any clothing that is monogrammed with the baby’s initials or full name. For those interested in purchasing personalized baby clothing, there are a great many options from which to choose; you are only limited by your imagination and budget.

Personalized baby clothing for a newborn can include anything from a hat with the baby’s initials sewn into the material to a receiving blanket beautifully stitched with the baby’s full name, birth date, birth time, and birth weight. Not only is this a useful item, but it will stand the test of time as a treasured keepsake for you and, eventually, your grown child.

You may also wish to consider monogrammed shirts, sweaters, towels, socks, diaper bags, even onesies. The more creative you are in your search for personalized baby clothing, the more cherished the gift will be for years to come.

Keep in mind, however, that personalized baby clothing cannot be simply handed down to another child once it has been outgrown; it serves its purpose for one child – albeit a dual purpose as an article of clothing and then as a keepsake item.

You can find personalized baby clothing in a number of different places including clothing boutiques for children. Most often you will choose the item that you want and the personalization will take place according to your instructions. Many times monogramming is free of charge.

The Internet is also a great place to find personalized baby clothing. The prices are usually affordable and the convenience of ordering from home can’t be beat.

Personalized baby clothing can be a wonderful way to welcome a new baby and present the parents with a timeless keepsake.
