You know you have the cutest baby in the world, and she doesn’t need any help getting attention. But as long she’s wearing diapers and eating strained peaches, she might need a little help expressing herself to the general public. You can help her tell the world what she’s all about with a personalized t-shirt.

Personalized t-shirts are a great way to make a joke, send a message, or just liven up your baby’s wardrobe. They’re fun for Baby to wear, they’re fun for Mom and Dad to design, and they’re fun for the people you meet on the street to see. Personalized t-shirts also make a great baby shower or birthday gift. An enterprising aunt, uncle, or friend can stock a baby’s wardrobe with soft, colorful expressions of his developing personality.

The possibilities for designs are limited only by your imagination. Taking a photo for your birth announcements? Why not let the t-shirt do the work–print your baby’s name, length, weight, and birth date right on his outfit. Help your little one show the world he knows which side his bread his buttered on–dress him in a shirt that says, “I love Mommy and Daddy!” If your baby girl is a real princess, dress her in a pink tee adorned with a golden tiara. If she’s a future Harvard MBA or Supreme Court Justice, put the world on notice. Grandparents can get in on the act as well, creating personalized t-shirts that make public their intention to spoil their grandbabies.

Personalized t-shirts are also a great way to celebrate the all of the special “firsts” in your baby’s life. You can memorialize his first Christmas, his first birthday, his first steps, his first tooth, his first pet, his first haircut, or the arrival of his first sibling with a custom t-shirt. In the years to come, these personalized t-shirts will serve as a poignant reminder of how much your baby grew during his first couple of years.

All of the tots in the sandbox are adorable. But no two are exactly the same. Anyone can see your baby’s distinctive features–curly hair, no hair, freckles, big blue eyes, curious brown eyes, that magical gummy smile. Such a special baby deserves a special, one-of-a-kind wardrobe. You can have fun helping your baby stand out before he can even stand up by designing a t-shirt that captures his unique personality.

Before too long, your wee one will be able to tell you all about her world–what she sees, where she goes, who she likes. She’ll head off to school, and learn to read and write. And in the blink of an eye, your little bundle of joy will be a full-grown teenager, who drives a car, goes on dates, talks on the phone, and doesn’t hesitate to share her opinions with Mom and Dad. But until she can speak for herself, a personalized t-shirt is a great way to help her communicate with the world.
