In writing about the products we offer at A Gracious Plenty, I try to include useful gift ideas for various occasions. So if you're ever stuck for ideas on what to give for an event or occasion I invite you to visit us here at our blog for a few suggestions, and I hope you find these helpful!
Today I'd like to mention some birthday gift suggestions for babies. I know that no matter what the age of the recipient, gifts that can be remembered for years are the best. When children are under 3 years old, especially, I think it's a great time to give them keepsake gifts. Why? Often, they don't really need yet another toy (that will hold their attention for all of 3 minutes!), and they'll grow out of that adorable-but-expensive outfit you're thinking of getting them in a matter of milliseconds (okay, months, maybe...but trust me, as a mom, I know!).
For the same amount of money that you would spend on a fancy outfit baby will outgrow quickly, why not give a keepsake he or she will have for a lifetime? When baby gets older and she's looking at her baby book, or she is getting ready to pass down that keepsake to her children is when she will remember you and think of the thoughtfulness of your gift.
If it is important to you to give a gift that is both practical today and keepsake-worthy in the future, I recommend something from our collection of monogrammed baby bibs, burp cloths and baby blankets. We carry personalized baby blankets in two sizes. The smaller one, which we call a blankie, typically is used as a "softie" or a "lovie" by baby. These are great as travel blankets; parents love them because their smaller size is convenient to carry around with baby's gear. We also carry larger baby baby blankets that are great to use in the crib or stroller. Both blanket sizes can be personalized with an embroidered monogram or name in a variety of fonts and thread colors!
If you're looking for an extra-special keepsake that will be treasured and passed down for generations, consider selecting a gift from our collection of sterling silver personalized baby jewelry. A Gracious Plenty has monogrammed baby bracelets, monogrammed necklaces and baby lockets, and monogrammed silver pacifier clips. We engrave all of our sterling silver baby keepsakes right here in our Atlanta studio, offer a selection of fonts, and even offer additional engraving (of a date or brief inscription) on many items.
