Personalized Baby Gifts

I have been wanting to keep a list of some of my favorite personalized baby gifts that I have bought/seen/we have received for Paddy.  We were so fortunate to get so many special gifts and these are just a few...

1.  License Plate Onesie (part of the reason this is so cute is that was sent to us by a dear guy friend of ours (thanks, crazy Uncle Micah!) - I am dying to know if a girl told him to get this or if he really found it himself!)

2.  My Own Name book - I have given this as a gift to so many people, and was thrilled when we got one for Paddy - thanks, Aunt Sarah! :)

3.  Birth Art - I had been contemplating creating a birth announcement similar to the following birth art...needless to say, I was pretty much jumping up and down when the one that the Ser's sent us for Paddy arrived!  Sommer can read my mind!

4.  Personalized Block - This is such an adorable keepsake with all the important birth stats!  We love ours...thanks to the Thomas & Rykard families!

5.  Custom sports team onesies - I found these on eBay, and it was even cuter in person when we received Paddy's!

6.  Personalized stroller blanket - I love the quality of this blanket that we received...it is so thick and soft, it has been perfect to keep him warm when going outside...thanks, Lara's!

Mr. Bean

Talented Brenda made us the most lovable baby gift for the shower...his name is Mr. Bean.

Meet Mr. Bean:

Brenda knitted Mr. Bean out of New Zealand wool, and I just adore the little guy. At the shower, someone said that they can just picture Sidekick walking around, holding Mr. Bean by his neck. His head is precious as it is very floppy, so I can just see the photos now of Sidekick dragging sweet Mr. Bean everywhere with him!




Glory likes checking out Mr. Bean too...although I have to imagine she smells her buddies, Brenda, Randy and Smokey Dog!

Fun with Baby Gifts

So, this is one of those projects that I have been meaning to do for a long time. I finally took the time to do it last night. I had so much fun making these! I found this idea on Oh Happy Day. I used Anna Maria Horner fabrics.

Some of you may be seeing some of these arrive in the mail soon...you can probably figure out who you are :)
