Hand painted baby gifts will hold special meaning for both the mother and the child, as these are gifts from the heart. Not everyone has the creative spark necessary to paint a masterpiece but most of us have a little dose of the ?artist within?. If you are looking for something that will be a lot of fun and truly unique for your baby shower, let each and every guest get in touch with their inner artist and work to create a masterpiece for the new mother and child as part of the festivities.

One of my favorite hand painted baby gifts is ceramic tile. You can use the many pieces of tile to create a tray or a much larger piece of art to hang on the baby's wall or you can leave them as individual pieces, which each represent the person who created them. My favorite is to put them all together for a larger piece of art that represents the event as a whole.

Most towns have little art shops that offer a great selection of hand painted baby gifts or the opportunity to make your own. These shops will have all the necessary supplies and they will actually fire the ceramic for you. Some include everything in the cost and others have individual costs for each part of the process (paint, ceramic, firing, and studio time). If you are going to be using one of the shops, talk to them first and see if you can set up a special deal for a baby shower, most of them are happy to accommodate large groups and will offer special packages as well as some privacy. You can actually have the shower at the ceramic shop if you choose to do so (this works especially well if you are hosting a surprise shower). This can be quite costly but it will be a very special and unique shower.

If this is not the option for you or you would like a less expensive alternative for hand painted baby gifts you could provide wooden blocks (or other wooden baby toys) and paint at the shower and have everyone paint a gift for the new baby. You will want to be careful about the fumes in this situation though, especially for the expecting mother who may be overly sensitive to strong odors. Picture frames also make great painting projects and will be fun for many guests at the shower (be sure to let them know to wear something that can get messy or provide smocks for the guests in order to save their clothes.

You can also ask that each guest bring a hand painted gift. This works well for those who aren't so crafty. They are allowed to participate by purchasing a hand painted gift rather than making one. I know for many people this will be a relief, not all people are interested in art. I do, however believe that the art projects would make a memorable baby shower and the mommy to be will enjoy the idea that not only can she participate as well but that she has a one of a kind piece of art for her little one's room.

Have fun and be creative with your hand painted baby gifts. Whether you are purchasing them or creating them yourself these are great gifts for the giver and the receiver. Any gift from the heart will be the absolute perfect gift. But a gift that was so much fun to make is even better. How about inexpensive baby shower gift ideas.
