Etsy artist sweetcarolinadesign offers a unique piece of custom-made artwork based on a child’s sonogram. She offers 8″ x 10″ prints of the sonogram on professional photo paper, accompanied by a color, font, and wording you choose. For just $22, this is a wonderful way to preserve this most precious first photo of your child. It’s a great gift idea for a friend or family member as well, as long as you can “borrow” their ultrasound photo long enough to scan and email it to sweetcarolinadesign.

With my older son starting school in September, I’ve been busy buying things here and there for him to wear (and use-like backpacks and lunch bags.) I like to choose things that are well priced but also things that he will like and look good in. I love the vivid and large graphics on etsy shop  OhBananas’ tees. Super cute and not overpriced at $20, you’ll find something your little one will love as well.

There are many companies who make beautiful baby blankets, but few will allow you to design your own blanket for your little one. The Polka Dot Tot is such a company, and their Posh Blankets are custom-made to your specifications. First, choose a blanket size, from Itty Bitty (7″ x 8″, for $10) to the largest, Adult (59″ x 72″, $120). Then the customer chooses the fabric for the front side of the blanket, fabric for the back side, whether she wants a ruffle border, monogram, checkerboarded fabrics, and option to gift wrap. The blanket is then custom-made, which takes up to 3 weeks to complete (rush orders are possible if you contact the company). The fabrics from which to choose are all so soft and luxurious, and the blankets themselves are simple and irresistible, just begging to be touched. You can view the array of choices for custom-made blankets and some pre-made blankets and gift sets available at ThePolkaDotTot.com. Upscale Baby readers can use the code posh4baby at checkout and receive 20% off an order.

I’m always on the lookout for new, affordable handmade custom designed clothing for children. That’s why I noticed this Lightning McQueen Boys Outfit by Hollywood Kids Clothing Boutique recently on ebay.com. Available in sizes 12 months to 8 years, the outfit consists of t-shirt, pants, and hat, all for just $21.99. The proprietor is the sole seamstress at Hollywood Kids Clothing Boutique, and therefore she guarantees each and every item she sells. If you’d like to support handmade children’s clothing, visit her ebay store at Hollywood Kids Clothing Boutique.

Here is a wondereful idea for decorating your child’s room, or really any room in your home.  You email 1-5 possible photographs and pick out a background.  Artist Emily Wagner works with your photo digitally and integrates it into the background you have chosen.  The results are quite impressive, and would make a wonderful (and very thoughtful) gift that any parent or grandparent would love.

A number of sizes are available from 8 x 10 ($160) to 18 x 24 ($265).  You can order one from Juvie.

The Snobby Babies Customized Photo Diaper Bag makes sense to moms and caregivers. Name tags get worn and unreadable and eventually fall off. What better way to find your diaper bag than to have a photo of your baby on the front of it? Having your child’s personal photo as a part of the diaper bag guarantees no one will mistake your bag for theirs.

The bag is 15.5″Wx11″Hx5″D and features 2 elastic side bottle pockets, interior zipper pocket, cell phone pocket, and mirror pocket. The Snobby Babies Customized Photo Diaper Bag also has metal feet, 1″x24″ handles with nickel loopers, and an interior attached key fob. You can send up to two photos for one side of the bag or for both sides. Price $125.00 @ Snobbybabies.com.

Talk about a princess bed…this one puts all of the others to shame! Your little girl will feel like Cinderella in this Fantasy Coach bed. This bed is the most elaborate piece of furniture I’ve ever seen. It’s hand-made in England from wood and fiberglass with the interior measuring approximately 6 feet in diameter.

This bed doesn’t come cheap, because of the intricate design and the fact that it’s hand crafted, you can expect to pay around $47,000 and wait up to 6 months for delivery. If you want to find out more and see other spectacular children’s items, go to www.poshtots.com.

See Greta’s previous review of the of the Fantasy Coach on our Baby Blog.

I’m not sure who actually buys this product, but I have to smile every time I see it. I think this is the flagship item for Posh Tots, as it is prominently displayed on their Web site and was on the cover of their catalogue.

I think most little ones would enjoy the opportunity to sleep in this magnificent fairy-tale inspired coach, but at $47,000, I can’t imagine that many will have the opportunity.

This product is custom-made and handcrafted in England. It requires six months for construction and completion, which must seem like an eternity to the lucky child awaiting its arrival. The dimensions are 9’6” L x 5’6” W x 8’ H. You can buy one at poshtots.com.
