How to Give Christening Gifts from the Heart

When it comes to christening gifts, it’s a big world out there, with a myriad of products to choose from…in a world of nearly limitless possibilities, how do you choose something truly meaningful? To help you narrow it down, here are a few things to consider:

1-Think about the recipient: what do you want them to remember & feel when they see or use your gift?

2-Think about the purpose of the gift: do you want it to be snuggled? Viewed? Worn? Carried?

3-Think about the type of gift: do you want to give something soft & cuddly, extra-ordinary or fancy, neutral or long-lasting, a personalized keepsake?

4-Think about the message you want to send with your gift: Love? Faith? Comfort? Thoughtfulness?

5-Think about how you’d like to present the gift: in a pretty bag, carefully wrapped, with a special letter or note?

When all is said and done, the gift should really be a symbol of the relationship you intend to nurture with your gift recipient: for that is what truly matters.

 

Favorite Things: Baby Shower

Favorite Baby Shower Gifts

We have three baby girls due in the One Small Child family in the next few weeks, and it’s been fun to watch our little mamas get ready to meet their much-anticipated daughters. With impending arrivals, of course we’ve had a baby shower or two!

I decided this was a perfect opportunity to share some of my favorite baby items with each of these girls, here’s the low-down on what made my list:

-A size range of our Pima Cotton Camisole Bodysuits: I had these for my baby girl, and let me tell you, it was a sad day when they were all in the wash & we had to use a regular old onesie…an absolute baby essential item. (There’s also a great sleeveless bodysuit option available for boys.)

-A hand-made bag for holding diapering essentials: such a nice thing to pack in your diaper bag, car, every room in the house…you really can’t have too many of these to keep diapers and wipes together and on-hand for a quick diaper change. Also, these were quick and FUN to make.

-Guess How Much I Love You is hands-down one of my favorite children’s books: I still read it to my 10, 8, and 6 year-olds!

-Soothie/Gumdrop pacifiers were  a must with my youngest.

Of course, there’s a lot more that could have gone into these bags: when it comes to baby gifting, the options are blissfully endless…what is your favorite baby shower gift to give or receive?

Glimpse of Heaven Personalized Lullaby Album

Sister Song Glimpse of Heaven Personalized Lullabies

I first listened to this amazing album, Glimpse of Heaven by the talented sisters of Sister Song six years ago, when my oldest was just a baby. The tender lyrics and soothing music touched me deeply, and for most of her life, my little daughter has drifted off to sleep accompanied by lullabies recorded with her own name.

Over 1200 names are available (can you imagine recording an album 1200+ times?!). The album comes with baby’s name printed on the case, any spelling of the names listed can be used. If your child’s name is not listed, custom recordings can be made for an additional charge.

Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a godchild, or your own child, this CD is guaranteed not only to be the hit of the party, but to be loved and cherished for a lifetime. Order yours today!
