Is it just me, or did 2020 seem like a never-ending stream of pregnancy announcements and Baby showers? Even though birth numbers did decline from 2019, there still seemed to be an endless string of virtual baby showers to attend. The usual conundrum on what to get for the parents-to-be, or the new baby is less problematic because most parents sign up for a registry. While buying gifts from the registry is easy, it’s also boring. If you’re looking to get something a little extra special for the next baby shower - this list of personalized baby shower gifts is a great place to start!
1. Personalized Pebble Baby Feet Art
While this isn’t exactly a baby shower gift, it still makes a wonderful keepsake for new parents. This customized framed pebble art piece features tiny pebbles that make up the baby’s feet. The framed piece also has the baby’s name, weight, and date of birth printed. The pieces are handmade and can also be personalized for weddings and other special occasions.

2. Personalized Constellation Growth Chart
This personalized growth chart is a beautifully illustrated star map with whimsical shapes and objects that can also have the baby’s name on it. The chart comes with markings on the side that can be used to track a baby’s growth. The chart goes all the way up to 5’2” and is printed on high-quality canvas. The chart can be hung or laid on the ground and makes a really great background for those periodic Instagram posts! You can also choose to add the words “Love you more than all the stars” at the bottom of the chart.

3. Your Baby’s Story
Your Baby’s Story is a sweet story of how your baby came to be! The story starts out with two parents trying to figure out what’s missing in their life until they realize what it is: a baby! The book can be personalized with a name as well as all the characters. You can customize the mom, dad as well as the baby’s skin and hair color by choosing from 5 different options for each of those elements. You can also add a custom dedication. Your Baby’s Story makes for a great gift for new parents, or for a baby shower - as long as you know the baby’s name!

A personalized baby photo album is a great gift for a baby shower. The album has a customized wooden engraved cover that can have the baby’s name and their date of birth as well.

7. Personalized Baby Keepsake Library
It’s ‘Your Baby’s Story’ - but for a sibling! When a second child comes along, the first child often feels displaced.

In this edition, you can also customize the appearance of the older child and add their name to the book as well!
