Summer Gift Guide: Thoughtful Baby Gifts for Warm Days and Sweet Beginnings

 

Last summer, our family welcomed a beautiful blessing -my granddaughter.  It's hard to believe that she's turning one! Her gifts in the early days included: practical, sentimental, and functional gifts, but the gifts that my daughter cherished the most were handmade.  I personally made my granddaughter's oversized receiving blankets and baby bottle covers.

Now that we're back in the season of baby showers, outings, and trips, I'd like to share a few of my favourite handmade gift ideas from my shop.  Whether you're celebrating a new baby, shopping for a young family, or preparing for a first birthday, these greeting cards and baby bottle covers are designed to be meaningful and functional just like the gifts we received a year ago.
