Why choose an embroidered gift for a baby or child?
A name stitched onto a blanket, towel or teddy turns a simple gift into a keepsake. Embroidery lasts, so the gift can be kept long after the child has outgrown it. It is a popular choice for births, christenings, first birthdays and Christmas.
Which personalised gifts suit babies?
Comforters
Soft comforters with a name or initial make a gentle first gift.
Blankets
A blanket with a name and date of birth is one of the most treasured gifts. Choose a soft fabric and a thread colour that contrasts well.
Teddies
A teddy with a name on its jumper or foot is a classic.
Bibs and clothing
Bibs, bodysuits and small hoodies can carry a name or short message.
Which gifts suit older children?
- Towels with a name, useful for swimming lessons and holidays.
- Hoodies and sweatshirts with a name or nickname.
- Bags for school, sports or sleepovers.
- Dressing gowns with initials.

How should you word a personalised gift?
- Keep it short. A name, initials or a date stitches more clearly than a long message.
- Check spellings and capitals carefully.
- For a baby not yet born or named, use the year or a short message.
Which colours work best?
Choose a thread colour that contrasts with the fabric, such as navy on white or white on grey, so the name is easy to read. We match thread colours as closely as the materials allow and show you the result on the proof.
What should you send when ordering?
- The item, colour and size.
- The exact wording.
- Where the name should go.
- Your preferred thread colour.
- The date you need the gift by.

Frequently asked questions about personalised baby and kids gifts
Can you embroider a name and date of birth on a blanket?
Yes. Send us the exact wording and we will show you the layout on a proof before stitching.
Is there a minimum order for personalised gifts?
No. We welcome single gifts as well as larger orders. Tell us the quantity when you ask for a quote.
Can I supply my own clothing?
Ask us first. Some garments embroider or print well and others do not, depending on the fabric and where the design needs to go, so we will check before you send anything.
Do you deliver anywhere in the UK?
Yes. Orders can be dispatched to addresses across the UK, and local collection can be arranged for customers nearby.
Can I see a proof before you make my order?
Yes. Once your logo is prepared we can send a visual showing the position and size on the garment for you to approve before anything is embroidered or printed.
