New Baby Gift Idea:  Monogrammed Towels

Posted by Missy W. @ 8:32 AM

A couple of weeks ago we touched on Big Sibling gifts, so this week we thought we’d throw out some ideas for the new baby as well as the new baby’s parents. One of Jenny’s favorite gifts to give is monogrammed/personalized towels. Obviously you have to know the babe’s name, so unless the parents have already spilled the name beans, you’d have to wait until the kid arrived on the scene.

Pottery Barn Kids has some simple, gingham edged towels that can be personalized along the hood. $20.00 each. Pottery Barn Kids also has an organic towel, but monogramming is not yet offered on that item.

These monogrammed towels from LL Bean get good reviews on their site. It seems to be a pretty big kid towel with no hood. They even come with an embroidered cartoon-y kid. You can pick from dark skin/dark eyes, light skin/light hair, light skin/dark hair, light skin/red hair. Not a huge line for varying ethnicities, but it’s an attempt. Monogram only goes up to 10 letters, so if your kid’s name is along the lines of Snufalupagus, you might be in trouble. $19.50

I love these dot-to-dot towels from Garnet Hill. They are not primarily for kids, but they can be monogrammed and they are just too sassy. Although with such a strong design statement, you’d need to make sure it fit with the recipient’s overall design scheme. $22.00 each.

It’s too bad that the Dwell line is not monogrammed, because they are the greatest towels. We just got one as a gift, it’s big and squishy and cozy. I love it! $48.00 each.

Even thought they are cute as all get out, I’d walk right on past the baby bathrobes. My cousin just had a new baby and received four of them. How many babies do you know that just lounge around in their robes after they bathe? Exactly.
