Baby Keepsake Boxes For Memories

If you're about to have a baby (especially your first one) you've probably already begun looking into purchasing a baby keepsake box for him or her. It's a smart investment, something you'll be able to keep for the rest of your life. There are simple boxes you can buy or there are more deluxe gift sets, but there are a few things you'll want to be sure you have.

Some sort of memory book would be a good basic item, so you can keep a running diary of what your baby did and when. Some books have stickers you can use to mark their first steps, first words, and so on, or you can just write them in yourself. Some of them also have pockets you can use to hold pictures accompanying the event too. I recommend you capture your own thoughts in writing, as future readings will bring the memories back even stronger.

Many of the boxes have small drawers to keep things in. This could be anything, from a lock of hair from your newborn's head, or the first tooth they lose, or nail clippings even. Any of these are good suggestions to save, and as a new parent you'll probably go a little overboard, but that's okay.

Finally, some parents like to store their child's clothing as well. This would be more special event clothing, like what they wore when they came home from the hospital, or their baptismal outfit, first birthday outfit, or practically anything else that has sentimental value to it. You can get these outfits specially stored in airtight boxes if they have a lot of value to you, or can simply be stored.

I consider baby keepsake boxes to be more like a collection of memories for you and your child to enjoy, when they get older. By keeping a variety of things you can make it even more special.

Personalized Baby Gifts That Have Lasting Memories of the Child

Looking for a sweet present for the upcoming baby? Finding a really nice gift for someone is actually pretty easy, but when it comes to finding a gift for a baby, we often tend to think of our choice must be something really cute and memorable. Finding a present that has lasting memories of the child has become not as easy as finding present for teenagers. To make sure that you are buying a right kind of present that sure to be remembered, it has to be personalized. Today, when almost everything can be personalized, even baby gifts are available for customization depending on your desire.

There are actually a lot of benefits that personalized baby gifts can bring. One of which is that you can have them made according to your own measurement. For example, when it comes to infant clothes, the measurement need not be too tight as it makes the child feel uncomfortable. Also, if you will buy personalized baby outfit, it is ideal to choose fabric that is airy for the a baby, but safer than any other non-organic fabric materials.

Aside from baby clothes, personalized baby gifts also come in other forms like bibs, blankets, soft pillows, crib beddings, bath towels and other baby layettes. So now, you don't have any reason not to come up with personalized gift for an upcoming bundle of joy. To make your choice more personalized, you can have the child's name or initials inscribed on it. There are also other customized options like custom stickers that are designed for baby outfits, making them look more eye-catching and exciting while worn by baby. There are also other fun ideas such as including funny lines or texts on the baby items.

Personalizing a baby present simply means adding a thoughtful touch to the present. This is actually a way to emotionally show the between you and the recipient of the gift, which can hardly be explained by words sometimes. For twin babies, personalized gifts make an excellent option as well. For example, if you opt to give them clothes of the dame style, you can have their names be included on the fabrics so that there will a bit of difference that defines one from the other.

Where to find personalized gifts? Finding items that can be personalized is more easy these days because of the Internet. There are lots of websites that offer a wide variety of items that can be engraved, embroidered or can even be added with a photo of the baby. You are free to browse the Internet anytime of the day and check on choices that can either be personalized for free or for a minimal cost. If you want to go for embroidered choices, chances are online stores will offer your embroidered baby blankets, clothes and other baby outfits, socks, bibs, hats, and even embroidered diaper bags. However, if you prefer an engraved one, there is a wide array of selection to choose from including engraved baby picture frames, memory or keepsake boxes, baby jewelry, photo album and many more.

The Best Baby Shower Gifts

Here are among the top gifts to give during baby showers:

1. Baby shower favors - You can choose from the many baby shower favors available today. There are baby candles, photo frames and compilations, and stickers. If you take on the responsibility of distributing baby shower favors for the guests, the future parents will not worry about it anymore. All they have to do is remain excited for the upcoming baby shower. Just make sure you have a copy of the guest list to be certain that you have enough for all the guests.

2. Diapers and other supplies - There are several ways of giving diapers and baby supplies. You can give diaper cakes or diaper animals. There are also baby bouquets packed with different baby outfits, towels, and socks. You can also give a baby bath time set, or a baby bottle set.

3. Baby furniture - If you can, baby furniture is a great gift you can give to both the baby and the couple. There are beautiful baby cribs or cabinets that you can pick. A dresser and organizer will also make a perfect gift for the couple. Just make sure that the couple does not have these pieces yet. You can ask the couple's interior designer, close friend or the couple themselves to make sure that your gift will not end up in the corner and gather dust.

4. Diaper bags - These are also great items to give because parents will surely need them when they take their baby to the park, or to visit other family members. You can also fill it with diapers, baby bottles and other baby stuff.

5. Gifts for mom or dad - You can also give something that mom or dad can use. Instead of giving diaper animals alone, why not accompany it with books about parenting or other helpful reading materials. These can be very helpful especially for first time parents. If you are a very close friend of mom, you can give her a stretch mark solution. Stretch marks have always been a problem for most expecting mothers.

You can also give dad a special gift. There are wonderfully designed diaper bags especially for guys as well as diaper changing aprons.

Make your gift count. Think of what the baby or the parents really need. You can make parenting a bit easier for future parents if you consider their needs when giving gifts.

Deliver Gifts

The things that we are able to do with the internet's technology today is pretty amazing and you can select or buy just about anything in today's market. What I find interesting and very useful is when a florist expands their services to accommodate their customers. They saw a need and a chance to provide a service and added it to their store selections. They sell more than flowers; they also offer plants, gift baskets, fruit and candy, balloons and stuffed animals which allow them to help you complete any item you purchase with that extra special touch. The "even better" part about this is the delivery options available to you, the customer. You are able to call up using the telephone or go on-line using the internet, place the order and know it will get delivered.

On several florists websites, there are pages upon pages of pictures and suggestions of items and products that you may be interested in purchasing and having delivered to a person you need to say something to... It does not matter where the person lives in the United States or out of the country; the florist will take care of your order. They offer several options to do this, for example FTD, Teleflora, Interfloral Florist International and then there is local delivery.

If you look at some of the gift products you will have to agree they are beautiful, who would not want a box of Belgium chocolates, a basket of fresh fruit, a food basket is always appreciated and then the imagination various places use by putting together a baby basket, what a creative gift and how welcomed it will be by the expecting parents. Several offer selections for a variety of special occasion ideas that are a standard designs or I should say "popular designs" or "customer choices"; most go well above and beyond to satisfy their customers. Sometimes having these options available takes the guess work out of things, especially if you have no idea what to send. You want to know they will like it and this is where you would probably ask "What is popular for an occasion like this?" Most florists have been in business for years so take advantage of their experience and let them guide you. then whatever arrangement is sent to your friend will be beautiful and appreciated when it is received. Everyone likes gifts so surprise someone today.

Are Personalized Gifts Superior?

Generally, I do think that personalized gifts are better gifts, but of course I can't say that this is true for every single gift.

What about the gift recipient who doesn't want his or her name on things? A gift is for the recipient so we should always focus on them and try to understand their preferences. A gift can still be a wonderful thing - whether it is personalized or not - as long as the 'mood' of the gift is right.

So my question is not so much if personalized gifts are superior, but rather if personalization of a gift makes it a gift better.

Naturally, every gift begins with a choice. What is my gift going to be? This is crucial regardless of whether a gift is personalized or not. A mediocre gift will still be mediocre even if you add a name, logo or photo to it.

Personalization cannot make up for the fact that a particular gift does not focus on the recipient's preferences, desires or special interests. For example, a monogrammed ring will probably not be the best choice for a guy who doesn't like to wear jewelry - no matter how much you may like the ring yourself.

If you fail to keep the recipient in focus when you choose a gift, your gift likely will not leave the lasting impression you were hoping for, (and if it does - it will probably be a bad one). Personalization also cannot compensate for a gift of low quality in terms of materials and production. In order to avoid this problem, be sure to stick to reputable retailers.

Once you've settled on a gift that reflects your recipient's personality and interests - and lets assume that you've found a gift that they will probably love - don't you think that personalizing that gift can make it even better?

Let's use a beautiful rosewood fountain pen as an example. Lets imagine two of these beautiful fountain pens sitting side by side. One plain and one personalized. In almost all cases a recipient will be more attracted to the pen with the personalization. Why is that? Why would a person like the personalized fountain pen more than the plain one?

In our experience, people (and especially Americans) simply like to see their own name, monogram or logo on things. It makes the item uniquely their own and expresses a measure of individuality and personal style. Personalization is popping up everywhere now as more and more people express their desire for unique and one of a kind goods.

So, does that make personalized gifts superior? Not necessarily, but we can say for certain that personalizing is a step that marks your gift as being more thoughtful and unique than the average gift and one that is truly meant for that special person you had in mind when you bought it.

Choosing the Perfect Baby Gift

Baby showers are the perfect time to give the new parents-to-be the essentials to prepare for the new addition to their home and lives. After the baby arrives, however, is the best time to shower the new parents with meaningful gifts selected specifically for their baby. Parents spend countless hours choosing a name so why not present the new parents with a unique gift reflecting the nature of the baby and his/her name? A gift given with the same careful consideration will be a gift cherished for years to come.

Knowing the parent's style or even the theme of the nursery will help you decide what to choose when selecting a great gift. From traditional to modern, you should attempt to find a gift that matches the recipient's personality. For example, a family who loves baseball would be thrilled to receive a gift basket full of baseball themed baby items.

Great gifts to give new parents are personalized items. Boutiques and specialty stores offer more unique options than major department stores or chains. You may have the option to personalize either with the store's help or after the purchase at an embroidery shop or engraving service.

Internet shopping allows endless possibilities of personalized items. A simple search yields thousands of items from backpacks to piggy banks. Some great new baby gift ideas include blankets, silver rattles, spoons or cups, burp cloths, diaper covers, photo albums, frames, etc. Personalized items let the recipient know that you've chosen something meaningful that will surely become a family heirloom. New parents are especially delighted to see their choice of names embellished on just about anything.

Who is not delighted to get a package delivered? Another benefit of shopping online is the ability to send the gift directly to the new baby. Most reputable online stores will offer gift-wrapping and a card. A beautiful presentation makes any gift special and thoughtful.

Safely shopping online is simple to do. If you find a site that offers the kind of gift you would like to send, you can search the site for references from other customers. You should choose a site with positive business references and a proven track record. You should also look for a high level of customer service. Check to see that there is a contact number that you can call with any questions or concerns. Look for ease of use when ordering and tracking your order.

Before you order a personalized item it is crucial that you have all the correct details. Since most personalized items cannot be redone, having the correct spelling and/or birth date along with accurate shipping information will ease the transaction and save time and money in replacement costs. In addition it will prevent an embarrassing situation for both you and the recipient. Know in advance what the approximate time of delivery should be. Make note on your calendar and keep in mind, personalized items are often made to order and take more time than other purchases.

It is appropriate to send a baby gift up to one year after the birth of the baby. Remember however, the first birthday is also a great opportunity to shower the thrilled parents who are celebrating the first year of parenthood as much as their child's birthday.

Whether shopping at a boutique, department store or online, a unique, personalized gift for a new baby is something to be treasured for years to come.

6 Design Tips to Save Your DIY Marketing Material From Disaster

One of the worst color combinations I've ever seen by someone designing his own marketing material is light pink text on a black page.

My point isn't to make fun of the person who sent it to me for feedback. Instead, I want to illustrate what often happens when someone without a lot of design experience attempts to tackle things on his own. He's not the first to do something like that and he won't be the last.

On one level, his idea had some logic behind it. He was talking about getting a pink slip and losing your job, so it was completely natural to use pink as a color for the text. That doesn't mean it was a great idea, just a natural one.

And I suppose the full-page black background was used as a contrast with the pink. But unless you know how to properly make the colors interact, and you choose the proper font, the results can be almost painful to read.

In another example he sent, pink text was used on a white background. It failed just as much as the pink-on-black. A light color (pink) on the ultimate light color (white) is rarely going to fly.

For the record, a magazine ad for the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure is an example of pink-on-black working. But it was because a professional designer knew how to make it work. Using a default pink that you find in your word processing program is different than the varieties of pink a designer can create with professional design software.

One of the primary design goals of any marketing piece is readability. And just about the easiest thing to read is black text on a white background.

Obviously, we stray from black-on-white in our marketing material. If we didn't, marketing material would be boring and look similar to what everyone else does.

So we know we're going to stray from black-on-white at times. It's knowing when and how far we can stray that separates professional designers and DIY designers.

I realize not everyone reading this is going to hire me, or any other designer for that matter. So let me give you some tips if you're doing small-scale design projects yourself.

1. Stay away from fancy fonts, at least at first. As you're doing your draft, stick with common fonts like Times New Roman and Arial. That doesn't mean Times and Arial will be the fonts you end up using. But I don't want you to get distracted from what should be your main purpose...

2. Get all the pieces in place without any thought to color or fancy fonts. Text, graphics, your logo... whatever it is, just get the raw pieces organized on the page(s). Make it readable at it's most basic level without getting sidetracked by other issues. Ensure that any graphics you throw in, especially stock photos, have a clear relationship with the copy. Copy and photos should be sending a unified message.

3. Look at your basic layout in all it's non-fancy glory. If you could only print your piece in black & white (like in a newspaper), how would it look? Would everything be readable? Would there be an obvious relationship between the copy and any graphics you're using to support the copy? If not, go back to step #2.

4. If things are looking good, now is the time to make color and/or font changes. But don't go crazy, and don't always feel that you have to be literal. Just because you're talking about pink slips doesn't mean you need to use pink. Pink text, in many cases, is a bugger to read. Obviously there are exceptions. But, and I don't mean this to be insulting, unless you have some sort of design background, you're unlikely to know what those exceptions are. The same applies to other color combinations that seem clever, but really aren't.

5. Take a moment to study what others have done. For example, let's say you're designing an ad for your local business newspaper. Get some recent issues of the paper and see what people are doing. What's standing out to you, for good and bad reasons? I'm not suggesting you copy ads, but I think you'll find the easiest-to-read ads are not too complex. They grab attention (since they're fighting for it among the news and articles that people actually want to read) while being very easy to read.

6. Get feedback on your layout from someone you trust. In fact, phrase it this way: "I designed this ad and I really want you to rip it to shreds. Tell me every little thing that you don't like about it and why you think it might fail." The goal here is not to boost your ego with praise from someone who doesn't want to hurt your feelings. Your goal is to make money with your marketing material. For that, you need people who aren't afraid to tell you that, in a manner of speaking, your baby is ugly.

Now, I have to be honest... there is so much more to the design of marketing material than these steps.

If you're counting on your marketing material to help you make sales, yet you're doing the layout of your material yourself and have no real experience, you're asking for disappointment.

In the business world, "disappointment" is usually translated as "waste of money," "missed opportunities," and "our first impression made us look foolish and unprofessional."

But I know that, for a variety of reasons, it's not always possible to bring in a professional.

If that's the position you're in, use these steps to at least give yourself a fighting chance.

Preserving Baby's Memories Through Personalized Baby Gifts

Whether you've just had your first baby, or second or third, chances are you'll want to preserve every little detail of her babyhood for beautiful memories with personalized baby gifts. After all, babies grow super fast and your quiet little angel will grow into a playful toddler in just a year's time. As her physical features change, you'll love looking back on what she used to be like.

Thankfully, you have a wide variety of choices as far as personalizing your child's memories go. One of the oldest and most charming ways of preserving baby memories is to preserve baby footprints. Till a few years back most hospitals would give you a little footprint of your baby to take home with you. Although fewer hospitals follow the procedures now, you can easily find readymade gift kits that enable you to create baby handprints and footprints for memories' sake. These baby handprint and footprint gift kits are easy to use, and come with detailed instructions. They are an excellent way for the whole family to get involved.

First time Daddies who might otherwise be too nervous about sharing in baby's day to day caring routine won't have a problem using a personalized baby handprint and baby footprint kit to preserve their bundle of joy's marks on the sands of time. Siblings can also be asked to join in, and this will help alleviate any feelings of jealousy or rivalry.

A personalized baby book is another way to preserve special memories that go beyond taking photographs and pasting them in an album. A personalized baby book allows you to preserve not just photos and capture your thoughts, but also different milestones in her life including her very first word and the date of her first step to mundane activities like baby's first solid food. These also help give an insight into the culture and society baby was born in. For instance, you could note down a popular song at the time baby was born, or a major movie or book that came out, important personalities who were shaping events in the country and around the world and major events that occurred. When your child's old enough to read these baby books and understand these happenings, it will give her a feeling of being rooted in a community that's bigger than her immediate family or circle of friends.

A baby book is also a terrific gift to give your kids when the time comes for them to leave the nest!

What to Give As Baby Shower Gifts

Parents usually give away personalized baby shower gift favors to those who attend the baby shower. It is a great way to make the event a truly personal one where expecting parents can share their delight with family and friends. This gift does not need to be a super expensive or extravagant, you can give away classy tokens without breaking the bank.

However, parents can have a hard time to decide what to give away as a token of gratitude to friends and relatives. Some occasions as special as a baby shower needs something really sweet and unique to give away as favors.

One of the most popular items to be given for these gifts are chocolate candies. Few can resist the temptation of a scrumptious bar of chocolate. It is the sweetest thing to give away to the guests to remember that the little one is on its way. You can also personalize the wrappers on the chocolate candy bars with designs and messages to make the baby shower special. There are also a lot of flavors for the chocolate itself like dark chocolate, white chocolate and milk chocolate.

In addition to chocolates, candies are also one of the popular items to be given as a baby shower gift to guests. There are different flavors for candies like mint, strawberry, chocolate center, champagne and comes in varying colors. As with chocolates, you can also personalize and decorate the container or box of the candies to mark the special occasion.

In order to save money, you can use baby booties and other cheap baby items and fill them with candies or mini chocolates. Before giving them as gifts to to friends and families, you can use them as decorations by hanging them in the ceiling, wall or a banner. These will make cute decorations while giving the party a baby shower ambiance. After the party, you can give these decorations as baby shower gifts.

An alternative as baby shower gifts to guests are giving away baby picture frames with the babys pictures on it. If the baby is not yet born by the baby shower, you can include an infants sonogram or ultrasound image in this gift. This is a great and long lasting gift to give to family or friends. You can even have the picture frame personalized to add the babys name or a sentimental note to add a wonderful touch to the keepsake.

In order to save money, you can buy plain picture frames at your local craft store and then decorate them yourself to match the theme of the party. You can even invite your friends to help you make the baby shower gifts and have fun while at it.

These are just some of a few ideas for the baby shower gifts. You do not have to spend all of your time and money for this type of gifts yet you can still add a personal touch. Before buying baby shower party gifts, it is important that you have already chosen a theme for the baby shower so that the theme has ties to these gifts.
