Newborn, Baby Shower and Baptism Gift Ideas

A new baby brings a wave of celebrations: the baby shower, the birth, the first visits, and often a baptism or a first communion. Each one is a chance to give something the family keeps as the child grows. Personalized pieces, with the baby’s name and birth date, are the gifts parents photograph and hold on to.

Gifts for the newborn

• A name sign for the nursery. The baby’s name in soft, rounded letters, ready to hang above the cot. See Name Signs & Door Plaques.
• A night light with the baby’s name. A moon, a cloud or a star glowing softly makes night feeds easier. See Lamps & Night Lights.
• A birth announcement plaque with the name, date, time, weight and length. See Commemorative Plaques.
• A keepsake box for the hospital bracelet, the first curl and the first shoes. See Boxes & Keepsake Boxes.

Gifts that grow with the child

• Educational puzzles with the child’s name, the alphabet, numbers or Arabic letters: a baby gift that becomes a toddler toy. See Educational Puzzles.
• A growth chart in wood, engraved with the child’s name, to measure their height year after year.
• Wall art for the nursery with animals, stars or a mountain scene. See Wall Art.

Baby shower ideas

For the party itself, a welcome sign, a cake topper with “Oh Baby” or the baby’s name, and small favour tags for guests set the theme. As favours, engraved keychains, magnets or small wooden ornaments in the shape of a bottle, a pram or a star are keepsakes guests take home. See Welcome Signs, Cake Toppers and Small Gifts & Accessories.

Baptism and first communion souvenirs

In Lebanon, baptism and first communion souvenirs are part of the tradition, and every guest leaves with one. Laser-cut pieces make the tradition personal:

• Small crosses, doves or angels engraved with the child’s name and the date.
• Magnets and keychains that guests use daily.
• Favour tags tied to the traditional sugared almonds (mlabbas).
• A commemorative plaque for the family with the church, the date and the godparents’ names.

See Favour Tags & Place Cards and Commemorative Plaques.

Tips

Confirm the baby’s name spelling (and in which language) before ordering, and order souvenirs at least two to three weeks before the ceremony.
