Birthday Love

Having received lots of well intentioned but sometimes random baby gifts, I’m always on the lookout for something special, affordable, useful, and unique to gift to those little bundles of joy.  Of course I’d recommend a framed newborn photograph to add to the nursery, but I have a few other ideas as well.  My latest obsession with Etsy finally paid off when I spotted these fabulous personalized prints.  Who doesn’t love a company called “Happy Hippos?”  These are great as newborn or first birthday gifts.  You send them all of the info, including nicknames and birth stats, as well as the colors that you’d like.  I personally added the matte and frame, but it’s an option to order these as well.  This one I photographed is for my cousin’s son, Jamie, who just turned one a few weeks ago.  I added a few photos of the little guy when he was just a wee one month old…hard to believe that he just started walking last week! I “shipped it up to Boston” and it was a hit!  What are some of your favorite baby gifts?
