Made of plush fabric with a satin border, Little Giraffe blankets are so soft and sure to be a favorite.

Molly Weber said:  This is a great keepsake that can be customized to match the nursery or playroom colors and will be used for years to come.

I gifted this Nookums Paci-Plush Buddy to a couple who considered themselves "pet parents" to their beloved dog before they welcomed their actual son into the family. They found this gift to be incredibly meaningful! It was a nice way for the dog to be recognized as a "lovie."

This brand sells plushies in a few other dog and cat breeds, too. (I was lucky their dog's appearance had a matching plush in this brand. Google shop for other brands that sell this type of plush pacifier holder if you can't match with Nookums.)

Made of 95% viscose from organically grown bamboo and 5% spandex, Kickee Pants Footies and Coveralls are the softest and comfiest for new baby!

Kelly R said:  Here's a practical way to showcase new baby's name! These personalized bands are available in a variety of colors, and stretch to fit around anything that needs to be labeled with a child's name. They're great for labeling bottles for daycare, sippy cups and snack containers for toddlers, water bottles for school-age kids, shampoo bottles for college kids, and more. They're reusable and dishwasher safe, and will last as long as you can continue finding a use for them! A great replacement for that "permanent" marker that is always washing off.

The sentiment behind this personalizable quilt stems from a Chinese custom, Bai Jia Bei, where friends and family contribute swatches with love to create a quilt to welcome a new baby. You can personalize the quilt with a short message.

This gift is for the very special baby in your life- maybe it's the child of a treasured sibling or friend. It is not just about frivolity though- silver has antimicrobial properties, making this actually a very practical, although indulgent, gift for feeding a baby. It also has excellent heirloom potential, as it's well made and meant for passing down to future generations.

Alexandra F. said:  These super soft, large hooded towels have been our absolute favorite baby gifts to give and receive since we first discovered them. No need to get those tiny (though admittedly adorable) baby towels you will only use for a few months - this wonderful towel may be the only one you need, even well into the toddler and preschool years! Add baby’s name to it for an extra special, personalized touch. It can take about a month to receive the towels after ordering them online, however, so plan ahead.

Erin P. said:  Parents put so much thought into selecting a beautiful name for their new bundle of joy. How about recognizing their adorable choice with a handmade gift? This great small business offers great gift bundles that come with a bib, burping towel and super soft blanket all which can be monogramed with baby's new name!
