As a mother of three, I love shopping for my children and also get excited about the gifts that they receive throughout the year and on special occasions, especially when they are more personalized. With this in mind, I want to share the reasons why monogrammed baby gifts hold a special place in the hearts of many mothers, myself included.
Embracing Each Child’s Uniqueness
When thinking about my children, they are all special and unique in their very own ways. And, for this reason, I choose gifts very carefully and in alignment with their uniqueness and individuality.
As an example, when my daughter was born, I ordered her a beautiful gold baby bracelet with her full name engraved in cursive. And, when my oldest son was a baby, we had his name engraved on a necklace while shopping at the mall. These gifts that were thoughtfully given while the children were babies are still acknowledged, loved, and appreciated to this day.
While I chose to gift my children personalized jewelry, other family members have gifted them with other items such as monogrammed blankets.
Monogrammed Christmas Blankets for My Boys
When my boys were young, one was under one and the other was five, their Grandma and Poppie gifted them both soft and fluffy monogrammed Christmas blankets. One was red and white and the other was light blue and white.
I remember thinking back to my oldest son’s expression when he opened his gift. He was so excited to have a blanket with his full name on it! My boys are now 13 and 18 and to this day, they both still treasure their monogrammed Christmas blankets from their Grandma and Poppie
Typically, during the year, the blankets stay neatly folded in the hall closet, and as soon as December 1st hits and holiday decorations emerge, they pull out their blankets to enjoy during the Christmas holidays. They love getting wrapped up in them during movie nights or using them as an added layer on their beds. It’s genuinely a special token of love that they relish, and I love it for them.
A Beautiful Pink Monogrammed Christmas Blanket for My Daughter
As of now, my daughter does not yet have her own monogrammed blanket, so, this holiday season, we will be sure to shop for her own beautifully monogrammed blanket, as well. I can already envision it being a beautiful and fluffy, pink and white blanket with her name beautifully scripted on the corner of the blanket very similar to what the boys have.
Once she has hers, I’ll be looking forward to the Christmas holidays seeing them wrapped up all cozy in their childhood monogrammed Christmas blankets for movie nights, no matter how that they get.
Final Thoughts
In summary, choosing gifts, especially monogrammed gifts shows my children how much they are loved and cherished. And, when they receive these precious gifts in their childhoods, they are gifts that continue to grow closer to them throughout their lifetimes.
