Personalized Baby Gifts - unique gift for a newborn baby: no one else will be

When it comes to picking up personalized baby gifts, parents and friends of parents tend to go overboard one way or the other. Some people choose personalized baby gifts based on the baby's sex or perceived athletic proclivities. Others buy up initialized hoodies, knitted blankets, customizable teddy bears, and the like. Still others go for the "outrageous" but useless by buying stars, planets, or even a piece of land on the moon for their lucky little ones.

If you want to stray from the beaten path of personalized baby gifts, consider ordering a personalized magazine cover. If you've got a photo of the young whippersnapper, you can easily digitally upload it and create a hilarious and/or moving tribute. Customize your headlines, add thoughtful notes, poetry, song lyrics, bits of advice, or silly goo-goo talk in the headline areas. You can craft the image so that the baby strikes a regal pose or just mess around with the layout and background to get the tone you think would mesh best with your intentions for the keepsake.

You need not have any experience as a graphic designer or editor to give these personalized baby gifts. Simply plop yourself at a computer, toy with the free templates, and let your imagination take you where it will. Unlike other personalized baby gifts - such as toys, clothes, or baby books - your magazine cover will offer a distinct snapshot of the child's earliest weeks on the planet. And, no doubt, when the child grows up, he or she will look back at the gift with intensely curious eyes.

Welcome your baby with brilliance - visit YourCover.com the moment you can to design an imagination filled, sentimental, memorable and warm magazine cover that will last forever. Make it a gift for his or her birthday every year thereafter.

How To Save Hundreds Of Dollars Per Year On Baby Gifts

Think for a minute. How many baby showers have you attended in the past year? Now think about how much money you've spent in the last year on baby shower gifts. One, two, may three hundred? For some, the answer could easily be several hundred dollars. Wouldn't it be a lot easier and cheaper if you just made the gift yourself? I know what you're thinking, "But I'm not creative. I can't make anything." The truth is, there are many gifts you can create with very little time and effort.

One idea you might consider are baby gift baskets. You'll find wicker baskets, as well as decorative ribbon and lace at your local craft store or discount store. To fill your basket, purchase baby care items like lotions, baby wash, shampoo, and other baby necessities. You could top it off with a nice stuffed animal or toy.

Another great idea is to make a diaper cake. A diaper cake is new, but increasing popular baby gift made of diapers, shaped in tiers resembling a cake. The diaper cake contains everything a new baby would need such as bottles, blankets, toys, and baby care items. Many online stores care them, but if you have the time, you could easily make a diaper cake yourself. You can find step by step diaper cake directions online also. It's a good idea to find diaper cake directions with pictures, so that it is easier for you.

If you really want to impress the new mom, make a gift basket just for her! So many times, we tend to forget the mom and focus just on the new little one. Moms need love too and she'd appreciate it so much. A good gift basket idea for a new mom is a pamper me theme basket. This basket could include a nice scented candle, foot bath, lotions, soft slippers, etc. Present this to the expectant mom at her baby shower an watch her eyes light up.

There are so many creative ways to save money on baby gifts. Gifts that are both practical and useful often mean the most are are the most appreciated.
