Need Personalized Gifts? You Name It Baby!

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Finding the right gift for kids can sometimes be like looking for a needle in a haystack. You know it exists but the search can be painstaking. I know most kids like toys and the latest gadgets but, unless I know it is an item on their wishlist, I may end up taking the more practical route. Clothes, accessories, art supplies or other consumables, for example. Or I might lean towards a more personal gift that still has a practical twist. I recently discovered a local store here in Toronto that offers a myriad of unique personalized products for kids. Blankets for baby? They've got 'em. Artwork for the nursery? Sure thing! Personalized school supplies? You Name It Baby!

In all my years as a mother, I have never before seen so many one-of-a-kind personalized gifts for babies and kids all in one place. I'm telling you, the selection is endless! In fact, I think it has multiplied since I last hopped onto their site. If you head on over to younameitbaby.com, be prepared to drool over the incredibly adorable hooded animal towels or the luxurious Egyptian cotton bath towels that can be personalized with a monogram or a child's name. They even have plush sports pillows, stuffed animals, beanbag chairs and stools that can be personalized as well. Of course, the teacher in me headed straight for the Cool For School section. We're talking personalized notebooks, school folders, journals, place mats, story books and even clipboards. It's like a teacher's dream come true!

You Name It Baby! Personalized Lunch Bags

If you have school-age kids, you can appreciate how useful it is to have your kids' names on all of their belongings. For my kids, it's seems to be the only surefire way to ensure everything is returned home. Last month, You Name It Baby kindly sent over a set of personalized school items for my son. This is included a lunch square, a backpack and a sports water bottle, each with his name on it.

After checking out the selection of kids' bags, my son opted for the Navy Grey Collection and a space rocket themed water bottle. We even had the option of picking out the hair and eye colour for the boy's image on the water bottle. There are also ten different embroidery fonts to choose from. It was hard to narrow down which one we liked best but we ended up going with the Kidz font. The material of the bags is quite durable and the lunch square has ample space in it for a big kid's lunch. I really like how the school bag has padded straps, a padded backing, a large front zippered pocket and side pocket, a padded tablet/laptop compartment and a side pouch that's perfect for a water bottle.
