Baby Name Pillows Make Wonderful Gifts

By Marci Glover


New parents spend a great deal of time choosing names for their children. This is why there is something special about giving baby name pillows as gifts. Personalization is a growing trend, especially due to advances in technology which makes this trend not only more efficient but more affordable too. Such a gift will often remain in a family for decades, reminding them off a special occasion in their lives.

A pillow like this can create a great accent piece in any nursery. For example, it adds color and interest to a room when placed on a rocker. Bright and bold, elegant or vintage, there are styles available to suit every type of decor. There are many different colors to be selected too, from soft pink and buttercup yellow to ocean blue. Various sizes and shapes are also available from small rectangles to large squares.

Many different fabrics are used too, such as cottons, linens, satins and even knits. The type of fabric chosen will depend on factors such as what occasion the gift will commemorate and whether it is intended only as a keepsake or will be used by a child. Names are embroidered or appliqued onto the fabric and another popular trend is to use a monogram instead of a full name.

Shopping for these items has become a simple matter of going online, comparing options, making a selection and placing an order. Once you have selected an item, you will need to choose the size and color. You will also need to give the names and other details, such as the date of birth you may want on the pillow.

The birth of a baby is one occasion when a pillow with the name of the baby and other details of the birth makes a wonderful gift. It can even have the names of the parents included. This will often prove to be a special keepsake that stays in the family for years. Items are usually beautifully made and finished with intricate details like scalloped edges.

Another occasion on which such a gift can be given is for a christening. Once again the occasion, date and name of the baby can be requested to appear on the pillow when it is ordered. Details such as scalloped edges and softly colored trims give the product a beautiful finish.

A pillow has to be well made if it is to be a keepsake and last through many years. It is no use ordering custom lettering or embroidery on a pillow that is going to quickly fall apart. A removable cover is a good option to ensure easy cleaning.

When choosing a pillow, one has to bear in mind factors like quality, durability and value for money as well as appearance. Make sure you choose a reputable supplier to ensure you have no problems with your product or its delivery. Reading online reviews can be helpful when making a decision. The experience of shopping online for such a personalized product is not difficult today and the recipient never fails to express great delight when seeing your thoughtful gift.
