Personalized Baby Gifts and Keepsakes

A keepsake is a small item that is kept for a long time while reminding people of specific events. Personalized keepsakes are very special, and are terrific options for a baby gift.

If you are searching for a classic personalized keepsake for a child's first birthday, consider a First Tooth and Curl Set. The silver plated boxes in this set safely protect some of the most precious "first's" that a baby experiences. Make this gift extra special by having the child's name engraved on the front.

For a religious family, consider getting the child a Keepsake Baby Rosary for their first birthday. Held in a gift box and accompanied by a heartfelt poem, the handmade baby rosary is crafted from Italian porcelain. Personalize this gift by having the initial of the baby's first name engraved on the charm.

A personalized pewter heirloom baby cup, with an adorable moon and stars design, is also a great keepsake for a baby's first birthday gift. The six ounce silver cup can have any inscription engraved on it, including names and birthdays.

Besides baby keepsakes, other thoughtful first birthday gifts include picture frames and photo albums. My First Birthday frame is an exclusive gift that celebrates the first year of a child's life. Laser engraved with the saying "my first birthday," the child's first name, and birthday symbols, this wooden frame is a unique gift that can be mounted on a wall or stand on a tabletop.

For multiple photos, consider getting the family of a one year old a frame that can hold a picture for every month that the baby has been alive. The Baby's First Year wooden frame is available in pink or blue, and can hold twelve of the family's favorite two by two photos.

Another great gift to consider for a baby's birthday is a photo album. If the parents like to take pictures, and document everything their child does, a personalized photo album is a classic gift option that never goes out of style. The Bless This Child photo album can hold up to one-hundred of the many pictures taken during a baby's first year alive. Personalize the front of this solid-wood album with a message, name, and date that is engraved below a genuine, pewter, guardian angel medallion.

If the baby is born during the holidays, consider getting the family a Baby's First Christmas Album. This wooden photo album can keep one-hundred of the families favorite memories safely organized. Add an extra touch by personalizing the front of the album with the child's name and a message such as "baby's first Christmas."

Besides keepsakes, picture frames and photo albums, baby necessities are also important first birthday gifts. Both parents and children alike will appreciate gifts such as attire, bottles, blankets, and more.

To keep their baby warm, think about surprising the family with a set of baby long johns for a great gift. Available in nine colors and a range of sizes, these cotton long johns can have the child's name embroidered directly on the button-up back flap. Long johns are perfect for playing, sleeping, and many other activities that baby's like to engage in.

A Silver Plate Baby Cup is another baby necessity, and a much-appreciated first birthday gift. The silver plate baby cup can be personally engraved with the name and birth date of the baby, and can hold up to five ounces of their favorite drink. Complete with a convenient, plastic lid, this cup is spill-proof and can be taken along anywhere.

Many times, the first blanket of a child becomes a source of comfort and confidence as they grow older. The Honeycomb Cotton Baby Blanket, embroidered with the name and birthday of the child, is covered in calming honeycomb heart designs, and is available in soft pink or baby blue. This lightweight blanket provides warmth, and is washable to safely remove any unwanted germs and bacteria.

Toys and stuffed animals are usually gifts that the baby will enjoy the most. Due to the personalization on many of these items, these gifts can be kept as keepsakes, and passed down for years.

An adorable, eight-inch, plush baby elephant can be the perfect companion to any growing child. As the child grabs onto the elephant's long trunk or large ears, they can bring their new, soft friend with them on all of their adventures. Available in pink or blue, this elephant can have the child's name and birthday embroidered on the ears in polka-dot lettering.

For the ever-curious one year old, a Noah's Ark Plush Set is also a great first birthday present. The set includes Noah's ark, four soft, plush animals that make noise as you play with them, and a Velcro closure and carrying handle so that the baby can easily be entertained wherever they go. Make this gift extra special by engraving the baby's name on the top of the ark.
