We got the pottery barn one and we use it all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2563250 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:31:59 +0000 Mommy Finger 2563250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a couple of blankets with DS1's name on them and never use them. Like ever. So I would vote against that. I got my boys a jellycat bunny with their name on the ears and really like that. I got those for my friend's kids too and they are a huge fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562370 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 08:18:24 +0000 snowjewelz 2562370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted lovey! Someone got us a PBK giftcard and I used it to order DD's lovey monogrammed, and she is obsessed with it! I ended up ordering another back up but not monogrammed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562356 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 07:38:28 +0000 Alivoo01 2562356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also vote for no blankets. We got a bunch for both kiddos and luck has it my boy isn't a fan of blankets! Then again, he doesn't have a lovey at all so... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562283 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 20:28:28 +0000 jaguar 2562283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love a blanket, actually. I'm thinking of trying to find one with her name on it before birth, and then use it as part of her announcement. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562281 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 20:26:46 +0000 PinkElephant 2562281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you get the lovey, please get two! It's so tough when a child attaches to something they got as a gift, and you as the parent can't find a backup!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562177 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 13:45:04 +0000 Smurfette 2562177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything but a blanket. LO received so many blankets and she hasn't used half of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562163 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 12:58:21 +0000 jape14 2562163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say lovey for sure! Definitely my favorite gift to receive and give. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562162 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 12:57:02 +0000 regberadaisy 2562162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Large blanket because it's useful. Neither of my girls ever took to a lovey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562145 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 11:19:45 +0000 sunny 2562145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blanket or towel. We received a large hooded towel with LO's name and we have used it for 2+ years now and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562137 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 10:26:51 +0000 NCSUchick27 2562137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon also has this raccoon blanket that is 29" x 29". The previous one is 13" x 13". So many cute options. It is hard to decide.</p> <p>[attach=3946/16/o8b1kr.337x600.image.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562120 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 09:36:58 +0000 ShootingStar 2562120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the lovey idea. I got like a million blankets with our first. Unfortunately not all of them even got used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562115 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 09:16:47 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2562115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I like the lovey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562114 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 09:16:06 +0000 youboots 2562114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: I vote 2 because of the raccoon connection. Just remember a child picks their own lovey. I bought several for DD and she picked out a stuffed animal herself at the store at 10 mo.</p> <p>I think the backpack is awesome. I use DDs for daycare and could use another for traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562113 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 09:15:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2562113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: I don't think you can go wrong! I still say lovey only because I received more blankets than loveys but I think both would be really sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562112 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 09:09:01 +0000 NCSUchick27 2562112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, here are a couple of ideas based on your responses:</p> <p>1. The blue blanket below with the baby's name and a raccoon embroidered on it. My cousin says she can put a cute raccoon on it. The blanket is 30" x 40". </p> <p>2. The raccoon lovey below with just the baby's name on it. </p> <p>Mom and dad-to-be have a fondness for raccoons and the nursery is animal themed.</p> <p>[attach=3946/16/o8axz2.337x600.image.png]</p> <p>[attach=3946/16/o8axzi.337x600.image.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562105 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 08:44:03 +0000 pwnstar 2562105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From your list: blanket or lovey. Alternative: diaper cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562090 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 07:17:26 +0000 NavyRN2012 2562090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second a monogrammed backpack. My 3 year old still uses hers 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562071 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 05:28:28 +0000 Lilbear 2562071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend that typically gifts a monogrammed canvas tote from lands end for new babies. It is insanely useful and it is a quality item that can be used into adulthood as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2562016 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 21:54:13 +0000 Truth Bombs 2562016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will her LO go to daycare? If so, a monogrammed backpack for their day care bag is an awesome gift. We love ours for our baby. And it's something they are unlikely to receive a duplicate of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561994 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 20:41:05 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2561994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a larger blanket would be nice and that, even if she gets many blankets, the embroidered one would be used the most. Our son got an embroidered one that we used as a play blanket when he was an infant and then as his daycare nap blanket up until he was 3. We had to switch it out because it was too small for him to be covered. I wish it was bigger because we'd still use it. (We're using a SwaddleMe swaddling blanket right now for daycafe and it's plenty big enough to cover my nearly 4 year old, so maybe something like that?)</p> <p>My daughter received an embroidered 31 bag. It's nice, too, because it's our "day trip" bag for her whenever we're away from home for more than a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561962 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 19:30:59 +0000 Ms. RV 2561962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the idea of the towel. I think people always get tons of blankets that end up not getting used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561958 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 19:11:06 +0000 dolphin 2561958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a monogrammed blanket as a gift and we love it! I put DD on it for pictures too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561956 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 19:00:12 +0000 autumnlove 2561956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blanket! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561954 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 18:55:16 +0000 Alba4 2561954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with towel or blanket since the child can use them for years. They grow out of clothing so quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561925 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 17:18:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2561925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a personalized lovey would be very sweet so I vote that or a blanket. Or as Others suggested a towel, but do the toddler size since the tiny baby ones they grow out of so fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561924 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 17:17:51 +0000 SweetiePie 2561924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted blanket, but also we love our personalized towels (not hooded, regular. Because they have a longer life). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561921 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 17:01:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2561921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A blanket for the bed not swaddle or receiving blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-rather-get-as-a-monogrammedpersonalized-baby-gift#post-2561918 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 16:56:30 +0000 youboots 2561918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: yes!
