Hi there,
Actually I used to have the same problem all the time, and feel there are only so many silver trinkets you can buy one person.
I started making personalised patchword baby/children's quilts and playmats for just such an occassion. They are all individually made, and I include the baby's name, a motif of something either they or their parents like. I use gorgeous cotton fabrics in bright colours to suit your taste.
Please take a look at my website it would be such a pleasure to make something for a little someone's special day.
