There are many factors to be taken into account when choosing the perfect gift. The first decision to be made when choosing your is whether you want it to be a practical gift for the new parents, such as a gift basket filled with baby clothes, nappies, a baby rattle, toiletries, blankets and other baby accessories, which lets face it, new parents can never have enough of or whether you want your gift to be something a little more special and much less practical or generic.



A new trend in gift-giving is personalised gifts such as personalised name prints featuring the baby's name meaning and origin, framed artwork for the baby's nursery, colourful children's name canvases and baby portrait canvases created from a photograph of the proud parents' little bundle of joy. The gifts can often also be personalised to include the baby's full name, date of birth, christening, baptism or naming ceremony date, a personal message and even a short bible verse or poem. They make the ideal baby keepsake for a newborn baby and a personalised baby gift is one that will be treasured by both parents and child for years to come.
