A good friend of mine had a baby girl back in October. I had been meaning to send them a little something for the baby, but honestly just kept forgetting. I know, I know some friend I am... Part of the problem was I kept forgetting and the other part was I really didn't know what to get. It was a second baby, so they already had all the necessities and I really didn't want to get clothes. After we had our daughter I pretty much vowed I would never purchase clothes as a baby gift again. I am so thankful for all that we received, but it was more than we needed; everyone loves to buy little girl clothes.
I was trying to think of something personal but not cheesy. Around that same time two things happened:
1. I had seen a birth announcement that I really liked; however, the seller was no longer offering her product on Etsy.
2. I got connected with Lisa from
wine and glue. Not only does she have a pretty sweet blog (sorry you just missed her HUGE giveaway) but she has a great Etsy shop too: h
ummingbird's view. She sells some pretty adorable nursery art. With Lisa's help we came up with this 8x10 print as a baby gift.

my photography skills are not doing this justice... |
How adorable is that?? And practical too. You'd think you'd never forget the date and time of your child's birth or how much he/she weighed, but you do. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has trouble remembering things like this... Please tell me I'm not. I can tell you that my friend LOVED it :)
It is a great gift idea and of course you can customize it to your liking. I can already tell you my mother's day present this year will be two of these: one for each kiddo.
Here are some of Lisa's latest designs:
Her photography skills are much greater than mine...
In addition to birth stat art, she will customize a child's dinosaur name, make a custom nickname print for your child, custom song lyrics...the possibilities are endless!
I have the twinkle, twinkle print framed and ready to hang up in Phoebe's "new" room with her "new" big girl bed! I can't wait!

These are so cute! And definite oops on my part. I just took clothes and a little bathing suit to the newborn girl some of our friends had. Oh well! I'll learn.
ReplyDeleteI love these! They're so practical and full of whimsy! Such a great gift to a new mother or heck a mother of 4! The one you've chosen for your daughters room is precious, excited for you to have it up in her new room :)
