One of my favorite looks for my son is a nice polo shirt. It’s dressy enough for nicer occasions, yet casual enough to go from picture day at school to the playground. I really like these Personalized Polo Shirts by Periwinkle. Embroidered with the child’s name and monogram, these 100% cotton shirts are classy and stylish. You can even choose font style and thread color for the name and monogram. The shirt comes in light blue, white, navy (shown), red, and orange, and in sizes from 6 months to 8 years (size availability depends upon color chosen). Pick one up for $40 at PeriwinkleOnline.com.

This Monogrammed Bib & Burpie Set by One Little Birdie features one of my favorite color combinations: chocolate brown and pink. Specializing in personalized baby gifts, One Little Birdie was started by a stay-at-home mom of two, who hand-sews and personalizes each gift. Reasonably priced at $15, this set would be the perfect gift for a new parent or even a great holiday gift for a new little one’s first holiday season. You can purchase the set at OneLittleBirdie.com.

Anne-Marie’s Designs is a website that sells all sorts of personalized baby and toddler items. One of the cutest is this Monogrammed Diaper Cover. With eyelet edging on the leg and a durable double seat, the polyester/cotton diaper cover is a useful item for babies up to 24 months. The monogram sets off the diaper cover, giving it a touch of class. You can choose the font and color for the monogram, or for baby’s first name, if you prefer. These adorable diaper covers sell for $12.95 at Anne-MariesDesigns.com. They would also make a great gift.

I love the look of John Johns for baby boys, especially as a dressy alternative to a suit. PeriwinkleOnline.com features a great line of George John Johns, all with a monogram on the front. All of their John Johns are made from soft corduroy fabric and come in sizes from 0-6 months to 4T. The one above is in Chocolate, and other colors available include Navy, Light Blue, and Red. Personalized text can be placed on the front of the John John instead of a monogram if you wish. This would be a perfect Easter outfit for your little man. View the entire line of John Johns at PeriwinkleOnline.com, where they sell for $60.

This photo struck me because the little man looks so handsome and grown up in his roll neck monogrammed sweater. Made by Go To Baby, this 100% cotton roll neck sweater can be personalized using one, two, or three initials in a variety of fonts. The sweater comes in natural, navy blue, or pink, and monogram thread choices include green, navy, pink, red, or light blue. The color choices are very appropriate for a girl as well as a boy. You can view and purchase this sweater at GoToBaby.com, where it is currently on sale for $49.95 (reg. $68).

Here’s a great way to add a customized touch to feeding your baby.  Whether you bottle feed all the time or once in a while, Lola and Lali’s Bottle Buddies will let everyone know how special your child is.  Each bottle cover is made to fit most bottles that are on the market today, so you can use them with whichever bottle your child prefers. The cover also comes with an 8 oz, BPA-free bottle as an added bonus.  This would make a great gift, and, since the covers are pre-monogramed, you don’t have to worry about the shipping delays that affect custom orders from many other sites.

I also think these are a great option for daycare.  I know I always have a (hopefully irrational) fear that my child might end up with formula or milk intended for another child.  With a bottle cover that stands out, you have much less to worry about!

There are many great fabric designs to choose from, and most letters are available for the monogram.  There are styles to suit both boys and girls.  You can purchase one for $15 at lolaandlali.com.

The Polka Dot Cupcake Monogrammed Birthday Dress is a fun idea for your little cupcake on her birthday. This dress comes with your choice of name or initial monogram and the applique cupcake has your little one’s age inside.

Think about ordering this birthday dress well ahead of time. Don’t worry about it becoming inappropriate to wear after her birthday. She’ll be this age all year long! Then you can keep the birthday dress for a keepsake.

This adorable dress is available  in sizes newborn to 2T and in your choice of monogram fonts. It is just $54.99 price at Kangaroodles.com.

Called a “mommy gift”, these monogrammed sandals aren’t a bad idea for the shoe lover on your list. Though I would pass up some of the available options, these wooden numbers with polka dots aren’t half bad. Though I wouldn’t mind them in some other color, they’re still fairly versatile, good for matching with jeans, skirts, or casual pants. They’d be easy to slip into for parties on the patio (going in and out with drinks and to the washroom is much easier in slip-ons), for pregnant mommies who no longer have an easy time bending over to do up shoes, and for new mommies with no time for fussy shoes. As I mentioned, I’d prefer another color and that wouldn’t be a problem with the tons of options available to the choosy mom, including painted soles in animal print, dots, and zebra. With sizes going from 4 to 11.5 and a price tag of $120, yours can be customized at roseberrycreekdesigns.com.
