Once you’ve been (back on) the receiving end of baby gifts, it lends some good perspective on what you might want to give unto others, in turn. With no disrespect intended toward all the blankets and bibs, this one was a stand-out, even without the bonus points it took on from coming as a gift from the obstetrician (what obstetricians DO that)?..
 
   
Give them “My Very Own Name”

It’s a personalized book— a concept which we’ve seen and even written about before. But this particular one doesn’t just laser-print in the appropriate name in a couple of places; following a personalized dedication page, “My Very Own Name” features animals “creating” the perfect name for a child, by introducing a letter each page that cumulatively spells out the child’s first and last name by the book’s end.

Each letter in the child’s name corresponds to the first letter of that animal’s name, and with a glossary of 53 animals following the story, the learning opportunities are myriad. Illustrations are also particularly vivid.
 
   
It’s a great gift for older children too–

Though first introduced to us as a new baby gift, “My Very Own Name” seems even more perfect for toddlers and early school-age children (what better way to enjoy reading a book than when the story is all about you)? Alternatively, the company now offers a new edition, “My Very Own Fairy Tale,” that is particularly suited to the princess-inclined.

From I See Me! Inc., each book is $29.95 (with a 100% satisfaction guarantee). You do need to allow at least three weeks for production and shipping.
