The puzzle uses the classic shapes and colors – except when they pull up the piece, there’s a picture of a family member underneath!
The photos are added by you, so you can put whoever you want and change it as often as you like.
Letters to My Child

They’re beautiful, leather-bound journals that come totally blank so you can fill them with letters to your child and eventually give it to them when they’re an adult.
This is an amazing keepsake gift that will be so memorable for both the new mom and the baby once they’re grown!
Personalized Leather Bound Children’s Classics
If your mom-to-be is an avid reader or you know they have a love of children’s books, then these personalized leather bound children’s classics are an amazing idea!
The company will have the child’s name embossed onto the cover, which is a true leather version of the classic.
Here are the children’s books that are available for personalization:
Slumberkin with Affirmation Card & Book
There’s something really special about empowering a little baby to love themselves and that’s exactly what Slumberkins set out to do in the most adorable way!
Every set of Slumberkins comes with an adorable, flat stuffie (the kind of lovies that will be the first you expose your baby to!), as well as a board book and matching affirmation card. What is so special about these characters though is that each one teaches an important emotional development lesson, including affirmations that really empower them.
This is the kind of sentimental baby shower gift that you’ll start falling back on time and time again!
Let the Adventure Begin Baby Shower Card Holder
This baby shower card holder is such a wonderful gift idea for a baby shower!
The holder makes it easy to keep all of your baby shower cards together so you can go back and see them in the future.
It’s wooden and beautiful, so it can even stay somewhere on display if they want.
Welcome to the World Personalized Book
When you’re about to have a baby, you just can’t get enough books for them. And the adorable personalized ones like Welcome to the World always win out!
This book is a really sweet tribute to the amazing things the parents-to-be are about to do and the fact that you can personalize it makes it even better. What’s nice though is that you don’t have to personalize it, which is really great for baby showers when you don’t know the name yet.
DIY Book with Family Members
If you’re looking for an unforgettable DIY baby shower gift idea, then creating your own children’s picture book is an amazing idea – especially if it revolves around family!
The best thing about this kind of book is that you DON’T need to write a story. Quite the contrary. Instead, each page should just be one picture and one word. Include one for each member of the family, cherished pets, homes…or anything special that will be part of the baby’s life. There are lots of companies that let you create your own book – Shutterfly, Zno, and even Walgreens.
I hope these sentimental baby shower gift ideas help make this time extra special! Good luck with your shopping and all the new milestones to come!
