This monogrammed chalkboard placemat from Girly Twirly looks like too much fun!

I love these monogrammed sippy cups from Girly Twirly.

Reader Melissa said, "Here are a few more ideas once you know what the baby's full name is. I would recommend waiting until the baby's full name is confirmed...I know a few mom's that changed their minds once the baby was born...also, sometimes a Dr will think it's a girl & when it arrives... surprise, it's a boy! That's the 1st lesson of parenthood...no more control....it's like the opposite of planning a wedding. :) Anyway, I just bought my kids Polo monogrammed hats. They are super cute. a monogrammed tote (J Crew, LL Bean...) is nice idea too. I used mine a lot when my 2 were babies. Now, when we go away, they each have their own bag (ideal for overnights & car trips)."

Reader Melissa sent the 4 cute pictures above. She said, "I usually stick with practical & traditional baby attire...I'm not a fan of dresses on girls before they can walk....it's annoying to stuff a dress into a babyseat & when they crawl, sometimes they catch the dress & end up face planting. Fat lips are no fun! I usually buy 6-9 mo or 9-12 size. People usually have tons for a newborn & not a lot for the 2nd & 3rd waves of baby clothes. Another gift I like to buy but couldn't find a picture of is a wool pea coat from Baby Gap size 2T. My daughter looked so cute in hers & my son wore it when she outgrew it. It worked for Northeast weather (Spring & Fall)."

Reader Amanda said, "I love to give monogrammed panties. I think they're so cute. I usually give a dress pair, white with white, and a fun pair, white with hot pink. They're so cute and they last a long time because they have to be large to fit over a diaper, so the girls can wear them again over their panties when they get a little bigger. I also like to give a moses basket (below) filled with stuff, if you don't know the sex of the baby, you could go with this neutral black toille. This is a great gift to give with others especially if you fill it with stuff.

Reader Amanda also let us know that Babies R Us sells pacifiers that you can personalize with the baby's name. She said, "the clips are nice too...you could just do a last initial on this and a neutral ribbon."

Reader Amanda thinks that for little boys, monogrammed burp clothes or bibs are also cute.

Reader Donna said,

I am a huge fan of giving things that are personalized. I especially love sweaters with initials on them: http://www.babyknitsandmore.com/monpul.html

Another cute thing I saw were hand painted baby shoes. http://www.theathleteschild.com/content/p/8/catid/467_639/Hand_Painted_Baby_Girl_Shoes

Other Tips from readers about Baby Gifts:
*I also love smocked clothing. You can find really nice stuff at children's boutiques when it's off season for great prices.
*Instead of a card, I like to give a book with a message inside.
