What’s An Appropriate Gift For A Baby Middle Named After My Late Wife ?
i got a piggy bank that matched the nursery theme with my sons name engraved in it. it was simple, but it meant a lot to me. it was my favorite present – and i’m using it to start saving up money for him for later.
Traditional gifts would be something long-lasting and valuable, that would be used in childhood and preserved as a keepsake into adulthood. Sterling silver, engraved with the child’s name, is a usual choice, although I have also seen pewter and china. Here are some examples:
A sterling silver baby’s hair brush, with the initial of the middle name or a monogram engraved on the back.
A small sterling silver cup engraved with the baby’s given names
A small porringer (breakfast bowl) engraved with the middle name
A long-handled sterling infant-feeding spoon, engraved with the initial of the middle name
Although china cannot be engraved, it is also a common keepsake-gift: a “Bunnykins” china cereal bowl and mug, for example, might be used throughout childhood and then packed away as a keepsake.
thats such a lovely gesture on the childs parents behalf
why not give the parents something useful yet thoughtful? nappy service for a year? disposable nappies by the dozen? Maid service for a year?
or something memorable? A commerative coin set minted the year of bub’s birth? Name a star? Adopt a dolphin? Create a time capsule, with alot of information on your late wife, so the child knows where her name came from
There are lots of ways to say thank you, and commemerate bub’s birth
if she doesn’t have one, give the young mum a baby intercom, so she can hear from another part of the house if the baby is crying.
my son gave my daughter this when her child was born, and she said it was one of the best gifts she got.
Cards, baby clothes, bottles, wash cloths, diapers, stuffed animals.
Go CRAZY!!!!
a little bangle with the baby’s full name engraved inside.
With a lot of heart felt sentiment, a small piece of jewelry she might have chosen for the baby.
you can NEVER go wrong with gift cards! or diapers!
some bum wipes and a bit of baby sitting she needs no gift beside care and attention
