Best Personalized Products for Children
Remember when you could only find common names on personalized items? The souvenir racks were filled with tchotchkes labeled Stephanie and David, but unless you had a Top 100 name, you were out of luck.
Thankfully, the age of the Internet has allowed custom personalization. Every child deserves to have their name on something!
We've rounded up some of our favorite customizable products so your baby can wear their name loud and proud — whether it's in the Top 10 or totally one-of-a-kind.
