A Mom loves receiving a personalized gift for her baby but only if they are practical. These three easy steps will help you buy a gift she will cherish.

1) Buy useful items: Blankets, clothes, pictures frames, jewelry, nursery decor can be used or worn by the baby or in the nursery.

2) Keep Focus on Baby: While cute sayings are tempting, a new mom can find them annoying. It is best to keep your personalization simple: Name and Birthday.

3) Keep it Small: Be thoughtful and remember she has to lug over-sized gifts home from the shower, office, or worse, hospital. When it is over-sized, ship it to her home.
