Unique and Personalized Gifts for Baby Girls & Boys

Are you looking for a perfect gift for your little baby, and realizing it is harder than you thought it would be? He or she is not old enough to play with many toys and there are only so many clothes that will fit in their dresser. What can you buy that is both useful and age-appropriate? Why not buy a keepsake that will be cherished for years to come? Just like photos, keepsakes can be a great way to relive happy family memories and will be cherished for generations.

We have come up with a list of our favorite baby gifts and keepsakes:

Kid’s Meal Plates: Kids love to eat their favorite food but always struggle with eating their veggies. Help your child become more excited about each meal with personalized meal plates. Each plate comes with a vibrant, design such as butterflies, airplanes or cupcakes; additionally having your child’s name on it will add a special touch. Our plates are made of ceramic or melamine, measure at about 8” or 10” and most are dishwasher safe. We also have personalized kids lunch boxes to make healthy eating enjoyable at school too.

Christmas Ornaments: While Christmas ornaments can't be played with, they are still a great gift for small children. When your son or daughter grows up and has children of their own, they can share the stories of where and when each ornament was received. Parents can choose from baby, sports, or holiday themes for their monogrammed Christmas ornaments. Photo ornaments serve dual purpose as a Christmas ornament and shows how much the child has grown each year.

Kid's Step Stools: Personalized step stools are wonderful for small children. Once kids learn to walk, they generally want to do everything for themselves. Step stools can foster this newly learned independence. With bright colors, their own names and personalized designs, girls or boys will love their step stool and will find more excuses to use it. A storage step stool can help teaching your children organization skills and a flip stool works great in a reading nook.

Interactive Growth Charts: It always feels like that our kids grow up so fast. Keep track of your child’s growth (height and weight) by using a personalized growth chart with their name. You can mark milestones and exciting events such as when they lost a tooth. You can also add simple, happy notes such as “I love you” along with the measurement. When they are old enough, you could frame the growth chart as a new gift to them.

Finding the right presents for your little girl or boy has never been easier. Combine fun and functionality into your gifts with a touch of personalization and your little ones will cherish them for years. We hope these ideas help you find the perfect gift for your child every time.

How to Make Reading Fun for Kids

As an adult with a love for reading, you know that there is nothing better than cozying up with a good book to read. And would it not be great to instill that same love for reading in your child too. To get children excited about reading, you have to make it a fun process with incentives for completing certain tasks. Here are some great tips to make reading fun for kids:

• Create a list of 5-10 books that you would like your child to read. Make a chart and mark their progress in reading. Seeing it visually helps them understand better. When they complete a task such as “finished 20 pages in a day” or “learned 2 new words with their meaning”, you could reward them with a gold star. Start with the My Name is… book where you can personalize the book’s dedication and story to make it special for your child. This nature story has bold visual imagery that allows your child’s name to pop off the page and takes them on a magical adventure.

• Teach them life lessons & values through their books. For example, you can teach them to love the plant and how little things could make a difference in saving the planet. Our Save The Planet Name Storybook offers several ideas like not letting the water run when brushing their teeth to remembering to turn off the light switch.

• We have seen that kids seem to enjoy stories that have an interesting leading character having a fun adventure. With that in mind who could be a better star of a story than your own child! With personalized storybooks, you can educate and entertain while hopefully instilling a love of reading in your child. A great example would be the magical story of Unicorn Name Storybook. It begins with your child awakening to find a magical unicorn named Misty. Misty befriends the child and takes him/her on a mystical journey filled with fun and beauty. What better adventure for a little girl or boy?

• Read-Along books are perfect for kids who are just getting started with their reading. These books are highly interactive and help them learn faster. They could also read it aloud and tell you the story instead of you telling them. Our favorite is the Happy Birthday Storybook which is a mixture of birthday party fun and the joy of cake baking.  All about your little star, this personalized rhythmic book invites your child to read-along and learn in a simple language pattern. 

• One of the main goals of inspiring the habit of reading is to help your child learn new things. And if you make that learning a fun experience, your kids will be hungry for more knowledge. A great way to incorporate that is with the Zoo Name Storybook that will take your child on a majestic zoo adventure. The animals challenge the child to find his or her name camouflaged in each setting. Your child will marvel at the magic these mammals possess and engage in the interactive fun.

• Gift them a book as a reward for their chores or for good behavior.  You can encourage them to share the story they read with rest of the family. Let them know that they will earn a new reward for their efforts (which could be a book again).

There you have it. With these tips, you can make reading much more interesting and engaging for your child. So next time on their birthday or Christmas, give them a storybook instead of toys or video games. Make it extra special by personalizing the book and making your child the star of the story.
