Have you ever thought of giving a baby gift that's timeless and long-lasting? Something that will grow old with the baby and useful for a longer period than just infancy?
Unique baby gifts shouldn't simply be amusements for one day; they should also be useful and meaningful and relevant for a period of time if not forever. Let's put on our thinking caps and search for something evergreen and long-lasting and give it some extraordinary touch. Can you think of anything like that?I bet that's surely easy. Especially if you're a mom or dad; or a person coming from big families where baby showers and birthdays are regular ceremonies.
We've mentioned about turning a regular blanket into something special before and a blanket is one of those things that are timeless and could last for a long long time. A blanket is not only a baby's need, everybody young and old will need one snuggly blanket to brave on the cold winter nights especially these days when you can feel extremely cold temperatures even in Spring and at times during Summer! Such are the nature of regular things of daily needs. Some people even treasure this kind of items so dearly, that they are inherited from generation to generation. Just like a diamond ring or a wedding gown that is passed from a mother to a daughter and later the granddaughter. I, myself even had some baby bedding set from my aunt when I was expecting my second child. They were her daughter's and she kept them for years until she found someone dearly related to pass them on. She lived so far away from the family therefore it took here some years until I came for a visit and she was ready to let those things go.

I guess these usual things have their own unique character for being very close and frequently used by a person that they keep so much memories to remind us of the personality and life with him/her. I believe every parent will understand how it feels seeing pictures and things belonging to our children and their childhood. They remind us of those sweet little days and adventures we've went through, together. If you're thinking of continuing this love tradition by giving something you dearly own...why not? It might need a little cleaning or maybe something to add on creativity but there's nothing wrong with this generous idea. So maybe, your unique baby gift after all is hiding somewhere inside the storage?
Even if you're not in for the hereditary option, you can always choose to get or make new items of the same evergreen nature to make unique baby gifts. Bath towels for example or maybe something of decorative nature. What about soft toys that could even function as transitional objects when the baby needs to be weaned off and sleep on his/her own later? Don't forget, we want them to be useful and long-lasting but also unusual and awesome. So remember not to leave these common things on their own without spicing them up with some creativity.

There are a few main ways to get something unique for new babies and old (other than
newborns):
1) Get something rare and unique like things people never really think of as a baby gift or could ever be one. Like a bank account or a savings bond.
2) Get something normal but turn them into something special and different, one of its kind. For example a simple personalised blanket, with a picture or the baby's name and date of birth.
3) 'Produce' something on your own. What comes from the heart goes to another, and human touch will always be special and treasured life-long. Just like the way people treasure their kids' childhood and memories through videos, photos or written journals, online and offline. You could always sing a lovely lullaby and record it on tape specially dedicated to the lovely baby.
Well here are just some rough ideas for you to start off. But don't worry there'll be more and more to come so that you can have a clearer view and examples of what you can do. And a variety of choices too. For now, good luck with your unique baby gifts mission and see you soon :)
