When our daughter was born, we appreciated all of the amazing and thoughtful gifts that our friends and family got us. We needed everything! The personalized gifts were especially touching, because it meant that someone spent time trying to find something that would be uniquely ours.
Many of our friends are having babies, and I thought, well, maybe we should start giving personalized gifts, because they meant so much to us. For our friends daughter, Ava, I hand painted a wooden plaque that can be hung in her new baby room.
It started as just a plain, solid wood plaque, already in a unique shape, and I just painted away using acrylic paint. I was inspired by a painting from Nantucket that was in my own bedroom as a kid, that was covered in dense flowers at the bottom. For this, I chose much brighter colors, so that as she gets older, it will be something she will love to look at.
They make great gifts for baby showers, baby namings, birthdays, and holidays! If you are interested in a hand made gift for someone you know, please let me know! I loved making this, and would love to start selling these in addition to my jewelry!
