New Babies and Christenings: New Gift Ideas

I’ve been making some new baby and Christening gifts just recently – and I thought you might enjoy a little peek:

The toy soldier canvas was a customer’s idea: she wanted something to match a new baby’s nursery – and this is what I came up with.  It fits in with the colourscheme as well as the design of the bedding and accessories in the room. 

The little signs between the soldiers show the time and date of birth, as well as the baby’s weight

and the baby’s name is above the smiling soldiers

I love it and I’ve just heard that the recipients do too!  It will become a new addition to the website, as I love the colours, the soldiers are so jolly and I think it’d make an unusual and welcome gift idea for a new baby boy.  It’ll be available in 3 sizes: 18cm, 25cm and 35cm.  All the canvases are deep-profile and are painted on the sides so the painting can be hung without framing.  If you can’t wait till it goes onto the website to order one, you can email me at: wendy@1stuniquegifts.co.uk. The price will be similar to the canvases on this page: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/newbornandchristeninggifts.html

OK, so the fairy clock and moneybox aren’t really new … but the idea of putting the baby’s Christening details on them is!

This storybook canvas (below) makes a lovely gift for a little girl’s Christening (or maybe birthday) and comes in three different sizes.  The wording in the open book reads: Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess called Holly.  You can, of course, choose absolutely any other name to make it personal for your very own beautiful princess – these products are all painted by hand to order so you can specify other changes too, such as colour.

The stork canvas comes in 3 different sizes too and is always a popular gift, available in other colours but the neutral cream (shown here) is the most popular.

 And these letters make a fabulous gift: you could choose a name

Alfie

or a word

baby

and you can choose any colours you like!

These letters are a maximum of about 15cm in height – some are quite a bit smaller than that.  They come with optional sticky pads on the back for quick and easy fixing to a wall or door (no extra cost).

If there are no little babies or little people in your life to buy for, we do cater for lots of other occasions: you can see more here: www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk
