A Baby Gift for My Friend

A friend from work is expecting her first child after years of trying to have a baby. She and her husband are so excited and since it is their firstborn every last detail is important. I have worked with her for almost five years therefore she is a pretty good friend so I want to get something really special for the shower.

I have shopped in all of the local stores and nothing really caught my eye. I know my friends style so I have taken the task of purchasing the baby bedding. I finally directed the search online and I found a really great site with some more interesting options. I found some beautiful custom crib bedding and several other sets that were equally adorable. I finally decided to go with a ten piece set that has little caterpillars and butterflies on it. The hand embroidered set even comes with valances, a toy bag, and a bib that matches the theme.

I know my friend is going to love the set and I cannot wait to give it to her. I realize that having her first baby is a really event and I know my gift will express that I am commemorating the occasion along with her.

Did that set allow you to embroider the name of the baby on the pillows or blankets? I found a site that did that and I think it was really a nice touch. Custom baby blankets are always popular!

Baby gifts for your close friends are hard, because you want to get them something more than just the traditional things - you want your gift to be special. I knew someone who named a star after their baby's friend as a gift, and it was a really popular present.

That set you picked out sounds absolutely charming! I found a great company that sold lovely bedding in large gift baskets, so the appearance was really lovely. It included a quilt, pillow cases, and some really soft bubble bath oil that smells like lavendar. So cute!
