A short story of a special baby gift I received two years ago.

 
Two weeks after giving birth to my son in 2019, my sister paid me a surprise visit. The last time I saw her before she came with her gifts was three years ago, so you can imagine how excited I was (luckily, I got to spend quality time with her in Nigeria recently). She brought lots of gifts for my son, including the ones my brother and her friend sent over, but one of the items was a well-thought-out gift; a blanket she knitted.

Words can’t express how much I  really love and appreciate this lovely blanket because it must have taken her so much time and effort to get it done, and I love how the baby holds on to it. (She’s an ardent reader of the blog, by the way, so hi sis. ) My son is two years old, and that is his favourite blanky, so you can imagine how much love he has for her!

Do you want to be like my sister by creating a special homemade gift for a baby? Here is a list of items to consider making below. First, you need to let the parents know or have an idea of what you will be making (just so you won’t be offended if it isn’t used), and if you get the go-ahead, some items will be much appreciated if they are in a bigger size so the baby won’t outgrow them so soon.

  • Mittens
  • Socks
  • Cap
  • Painting or drawing
  • Blanket 
  • Clothes
  • Bibs or burp cloth 
  • Hand bands 
  • Baby bag
  • Nursing cover
  • Stuffed doll
  • Diaper changing pad
  • Customized items (baby pillow, plates, bag etc)
  • Bow ties 

This will be convenient to make if you have the time to; however, some items are more time consuming than others.

Let me know what items you will consider making in the comments section below.

  1. One more thing is that when you are evaluating a good on the internet electronics shop, look for online stores that are consistently updated, keeping up-to-date with the most recent products, the best deals, plus helpful information on product or service. This will make certain you are doing business with a shop which stays atop the competition and give you what you should need to make knowledgeable, well-informed electronics expenditures. Thanks for the crucial tips I have really learned through your blog.

  2. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you
