Craft-E-Family Personalized Baby Block
This personalized baby block that highlights new baby's birth stats makes a great keepsake.
The Night Sky Star Map
Nancy L.: Customize a star map from the night baby was born. Create your star map as a grid, constellation, or as simple stars in the sky. Each map comes with the option to personalize it with a message, add a time and place signature, and choose a frame. Create a thoughtful gift and beautiful piece of nursery décor.
Zutano Baby Booties
Alexandra F.: These booties are amazing...they actually stay on your baby's feet!! While most booties - adorable though they may be - usually end up lost on the floor somewhere mere minutes after you've gotten them on your little one's kicking feet, these ingenious booties will stay right where you left them, keeping baby's feet nice and warm. They come in a cozy fleece and lighter weight cotton so you can use them any time of year!
Personalized Wooden Puzzle Stool
Kristy Pepping: Personalized wooden puzzle stools are some of the most unique and personal baby gift ideas we've received. We got one for each of our three children and they still use it in their rooms years later! These stools are wood and come with a child's name on them. The letters are all removable so makes for a fun puzzle as well.
Trumpette Socks
One size: 0-12m
Trumpette socks that look like shoes make for an adorable gift and come in a variety of styles from ballerina slippers to tennis shoes.
Aden + Anais Burpy Bibs
Made of 100% cotton muslin, Aden + Anais Burpy Bibs double as bibs with a snap closure and burp cloths and come in a variety of fun prints.
Jellycat Stuffed Animal
From monkeys to dogs to lions, Jellycat makes the most adorable, softest, quality stuffed animals that are sure to be cherished.
Hanna Andersson Baby Sleepers
Kelly R: Hanna Andersson pajamas are a splurge, but the quality can't be beat and they can be handed down to kid after kid. The baby sleepers are made from soft organic cotton, and the full-length zipper is so convenient and wonderful that the new parents will want to dress baby in them all day long.
Birth Announcement Elephant
Kristy Pepping: It's so nice to get a baby gift with your baby's birth date and other birth information on it. Give one of these elephants for you and your new baby to enjoy. It's one of my favorite unique and personal baby gift ideas.
Crate&kids Nod Chair
Thera Thibeault: In what world is this not the cutest little accompaniment to a growing baby's nursery? Available in tons of colors and patters, this chair is perfectly sized and comes with a machine-washable cover. You can also buy just the cover so it's easy to switch up styles!
RuffleButts Bloomers
Erin P.: Check out Ruffle Butts for adorable baby bloomers and diaper covers. Their sweet lace and ruffled bloomers are way too cute! I brought a pair to the hospital when each of my daughters were born to snap those fresh newborn pictures. But don't feel left out if your bundle of joy is a boy. They have great boy styles as well!!
Pottery Barn Kids Sherpa Baby Blanket
Yoli B: The Pottery Barn Kids Sherpa Blanket will not only be cozy and warm for your newborn, it can also be personalized with their name or nickname. You will never have to worry about a blanket mix-up again!
Personalized Birth Stats Throw Pillow
Molly Weber: This is a great keepsake that can be customized to match the nursery or playroom colors and will be used for years to come.
Poppy Tree Collage Frame
Erin P.: So many mamas are into snapping monthly milestone pictures of their growing babes that this would be such a fantastic gift for a newborn. Their parents can fill the frames month-by-month and then it would make such a fun display for their first birthday celebration!
