Fancy Girls Love Pearls!

One of my daughter's favorite books is Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Conner. If you have never read a Fancy Nancy book, they are about a little girl who delights in everything fancy:  clothes, words, events...the fancier, the better.  My daughter just loves these books and I admit it, I indulge her fanciness. And what could be fancier than a formal tea party?  Little girls can dress up in their finest frocks to celebrate and enjoy their tea and sandwiches.  And what ensemble would be complete without a little bijoux?  (Oh dear!  I'm starting to sound like Fancy Nancy!)  Worn beautifully here by our sweet little friend is our freshwater pearl bracelet with a monogrammed sterling silver charm.  (My thanks to Mia of JTM Photography for the wonderful photo.)

Now, as you may imagine, A Gracious Plenty has a great selection of personalized items to help your precious little one in her quest to be fancy!  In addition to our monogrammed sterling silver bracelets and necklaces, one of my favorite items is a monogrammed sterling silver barrette.  You know how beautiful those big grosgrain bows are in little girls' hair?  Well, wait till you see those darling curls pulled back with a classic sterling barrette with her monogram on it!  We offer several styles and sizes for you to choose from!

Feature Friday: Personalized Baby Bank

For this week's Feature Friday Item, I picked one of my favorite first birthday gifts, our stainless steel engraved baby bank adorned with raised lettering. This is a great gift to commemorate the first birthday of a special child in your life.

It's a cute and practical gift for a child's birthday, and will become a keepsake for many years to come. It's a great way to teach a young child how to save.

The bank can be personalized with two engraved lines of up to 15 characters per line and comes in a gift box. Size: 2.5" x 2.5". Gift wrap (in pastel baby-themed paper with a coordinating bow) is available.  

 

Birthday Gift Ideas for Baby

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.
