20 Best Personalized Baby Gifts of 2022

By Shanna Shipin

Baby names aren't easy to come up with, and neither is gestating a human, so it's no surprise that personalized baby gifts to commemorate a little one are among the top gifted (and wish-listed) items for new parents.

You can probably skip the onesie or wall art, since the parents probably have more than enough of the former, and probably already have a unique vision for what they want their new arrival's digs to look like. If you’re not sure what they need, start with things that weren't snapped up from the baby shower registry, like burp cloths or a memory book. A great gift can also come with inspiration from a birth announcement—did they have a little animal-print theme going? Something simple or nautical? Whatever the parents’ (and thus little boy or girl's) style may be, we rounded up 20 personalized baby gift ideas ahead.
