I’m often asked for my opinions on unique butterfly baby gifts. Perhaps mom or dad are avid gardeners or maybe they love watching the graceful insects. For whatever reason, there seems to be a demand for butterfly bibs, onesies, rompers and matching baby and mama butterfly jewelry.
Then there are the precious items that can be handmade with butterflies embroidered, stenciled or painted on them. One of the most clever butterfly wall decorations that I’ve ever seen was a canvas wall hanging that had the baby’s name painted on it with a design of painted butterflies around the letters. It was attached to a wooden dowel rod and hung with a satin ribbon topped with a big bow to cover the nail in the nursery wall.
This was one of the most unique butterfly baby gifts ideas that I've ever seen! It was thoughtful, added to the baby’s room decorations and cost the lady who painted it less than $10 to make.
Another thoughtful butterfly gift for a baby is a homemade crib quilt. A handmade baby quilt with appliquéd butterflies that might have taken weeks to complete once upon a time can now be sewn on a machine and finished in a weekend. For a few yards of butterfly fabric and a few hours of your time, you have a memorable gift to present to both mother and child at the shower.
Clothing is another popular butterfly baby gift for baby girls. Butterfly print dresses in a pretty pastel print always look so sweet on a newborn in the stroller. Smocked butterfly dresses for special occasions are often so well loved that they are passed to the next generation as a special family keepsake. For that little something special you can have your seamstress embroider baby’s name using a special butterfly font somewhere on the top or the hem of the dress.
