2. Personalised Night Lights
Well....Purchasing a night like for bub is like buying your first car, maybe it's not quite this extreme but it needs to last a few years, help the child to fall asleep and of course just look awesome. Having a personalised night light isn't essential but with there being no extra costs associated to adding a name to the light it's one of those special little touches to make the nursery look that little extra. With the minefield of name night lights available it can be hard to choose the best one.
Safety - night lights need to comply with relevant required safety standards in Australia and it doesn't just stop there best practices need to be implemented when choosing a location out of reach of the child. Fortunately our name lights come with the tick of approval, laboratory testing and safety instructions on the box.
Light colour- This depends on the child's age, if its for a toddlers bedroom then they will need a light that is bright enough for reading (we suggest the option LED night light that includes a dimmer) If the light is intended for a newborn why not try on of our custom night light range that includes a selectable light colour. There are many articles available by renowned sleep professions promoting the benefit of RED hues of light to promote extended sleep it would be fair to say that every mum needs as much help as possible with extending the length of their babies sleep and for that matter improving their sleep to (red light benefiters aren't just for baby)

Where to start, with endless types of cots, change tables and high chairs to choose from some parents choose to slowly let the rooms evolve adding trinkets and decor items as they go. Some new parents like to "create" the room from scratch right away, there is no wrong or right way to do it although it can be helpful plan the direction or theme to target from the beginning. A personalised script name plaque can be made in so many colour size and font options it makes it the ideal accessory for almost any baby nursery. Try personalising the wall plaque in a mirror acrylic finish the reflections they cast around the room can be truly beautiful.
4. Personalised water bottles
Water bottles aren't particularly glamorous topic of conversation but water is a necessity. Don't use plastic water bottles that are bad for the environment in many ways, can be bad for your child's health by leaching BPA and other toxic chemicals additionally they're not as functional as a cutting edge personalised water bottle with an insulated stainless construction. Choose a water bottle lid that is suitable for the age of child. Additionally think about the bottle cleaning, stainless steel water bottle are fantastic to clean as they don't hold odors and stains we recommend using one of our bottle cleaning brush sets to insure that the spouts and lids on the name bottles are kept clean from debris.
Choosing the right personalised water bottle
Should a bottle be re useable?
When considering which personalised water bottle to purchase it sounds silly but a reusable waterbottle should be just that. Many plastic bottle can release BPA when reused many time, this then seems out into the very water that it to be consumed. Stainless steel water bottle don't have such a problem, they can be re used many times with having this problem.
Material
Plastic is by far the most popular choice of water bottle but there are other choices. Aluminium, glass, plastic even ceramic are all material types to be considered when choosing a reusable water bottle. By the best performing in all categories should be the stainless steel water bottle.
Lid type
The bottle is only half the equation. There are many different types of lids and features to choose from. Flip lid, pop lid, wide mouth, sports lid, no drip, with straw, without straw, screw on lid etc. The decision should come down to personal preference along with the intended use. For example a screw lid usually wouldn't be chosen for a young child. But children often like the pop top or flip lid as it provides easy access to the water.
Environmentally friendly
One of the many benefits of re using a stainless water bottle is that its environmentally friendly, by reusing a quality bottle for your family or child you can save many disposable plastic water bottles from landfill.
Personalisation or custom Name
The ultimate way to add that something extra to your personalised drink bottle is to have a name engraved. Other than your own name your child's name on the bottle is the perfect addition.
Why choose a name plaque
Name Plaques are the ultimate accessory
When decorating your child's nursery a custom name plaque can be an ideal gift.
Choose from a range of colours and fishes to match you children's room. Gold mirror acrylic or even rose gold acrylic plaques in a script font can look very elegant.
Kids love looking up at their wall each day and seeing their own large custom name. When you personalise a name plaque for your child the size you choose can make a big impact on how their bedroom looks.
They are not just for big kids but babies too! New born babies absorb all that they see around them in their early year so they more they can see and interact with while lying in their cot or bed the better.
Choosing the best personalised name blanket
CHOOSING THE MATERIAL
Every baby blanket should be made from materials that are soft on sensitive skin & breathable to help make sleep comfortable. But can you test to make sure that a blanket is in fact breathable? It’s very simple just hold the blanket up next in front of fan. If you can feel a light breeze through the blanket, the material is breathable. What's a good material for this? Cotton. Try to avoid synthetic materials wherever is possible.
Ensure you buy the correct weight of blanket for the chosen season. Heavy blankets can contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome also known as SIDS. Take into account the climate, you won’t need as many thick blankets if you live in a warm climate, if you live in a cooler climate you will need a thicker blanket and probably for a longer portion of the year.
Safety is of the utmost importance when deciding on a baby name blanket. Avoid ones that have pom poms, tassels, fringes, or ribbons and even large embellishments, there is a risk babies can get tangled or caught in them. As the baby gets older this becomes easier to manage.
Our pick of name blanket that meets this criteria is the custom script name blanket
SELECT A SIZE THAT IS SUITABLE
When choosing a blanket from listed sizes take into account that those sizes if the blanket is flat on a surface with nothing underneath it. Rule of thumb is to go larger than smaller, bub is going to grow not shrink.
