Ideas For Personalized Baby Gifts

Do you ever long for giving a baby gift that will be beyond the ordinary

, run of the mill experience? Personalized baby gifts are a beautiful way to show that you care. From personalized cradles, to hand painted toy boxes, to baby blankets embroidered with the baby's name, there are hundreds of different baby and children's items that are even more meaningful when a child's name is painted on them. You can personalize a baby gift by yourself, or opt for finding a personalizing gift company. A personalized gift company will embroider, emboss, engrave, or paint a dear little baby's name on the gift of your choice.

Baby shower gifts are often notorious for being run of the mill, filled with ordinary presents that the mom and dad could easily pick up at Target or Children's Place. These gifts are really useful and always appreciated, but if you want to give a present that will always be remembered, there's nothing like a personalized baby gift.

With a little creativity, some supplies, and an hour or so of your time, you can personalize just about everything. Here is one idea to get you started. You can personalize most baby furniture with a child's name with paint (from cribs and toy boxes, to smaller but oh-so-necessary items like step stools). If the furniture is wooden, and it's painted, then it's really simple to paint a name onto it. It can be a little trickier if the furniture is a natural wood color, or stained, since some finishes do not accept paint. Some finishes can even be ruined by paint, so make sure the finish will accept paint before you try it.

Other types of finishes might be difficult to "erase" and correct if you make a mistake. Before you paint on any kind of kid furniture, check with the experts at a painting supply company, where you pick up your paint, or talk to friends who are do-it-yourself experts (you know, those amazing people who spend all free time either constructing things in the garage or browsing through Home Depot).

You can personalize a Thomas the Train set by hand painting a child's name on the bottom of the engines (which really comes in handy when every little boy on the block brings their own Thomas engine over to play on your kid's train set... believe me, there can be some pretty nasty arguments amongst 4-year-olds who think their beloved toy is being taken home by someone else!). Whatever you decide to personalize, remember that the time you take to personalize a baby gift will make it all the more meaningful in the years to come.
