Personalization Options

You asked, we listened...

We are now offering personalization/embroidery on our our toddler pillowcases, Bips (security blankets), standard size receiving blankets, supersize toddler blankets, and burp cloths. We will also personalize other products at your request - just email us and we'll let you know if it's possible as well as a give you a price quote.

Lines of Text and Placement

Personalization can be any 2 lines of text (up to 12 characters each line - birth dates are fine) or we can do initials or monograms.

Please note that currently, our text entry fields do not restrict the number of characters that you can type in - if you enter more than 12 characters per line, additional charges may apply.

Personalization placement may vary by item - on pillowcases we will place the name above the "hem" on the opening, for blankets and Bips - across one corner; nap mat sheets will be embroidered across the head or foot area. Typically we will select the best location but feel free to let us know if you have a special request.

Fonts

On most of our items, we typically recommend a standard block type font for toddlers and preschoolers - the letters will be easily recognizable to your child as they are learning the alphabet and learning how to read their names. We also recommend standard capitalization (first letter of the name capitalized, the rest of the name lowercase) however we will do all caps or all lower case if requested. We also have a variety of fonts available including Script which is great for monograms and initials, and Curlz - a more whimsical embellished font.

Block Font #1 Curlz Font
Block Font #2 Script Font

Thread Colors

We have a wide variety of thread colors available including white, pink, blue, green, yellow, red. Feel free to let us know your preference, or we will work to find a fabric that compliments the colors of the fabric and stands out nicely against the colors. In general, most of our fabrics are colorful and vibrant so a bolder, darker thread typically stands out the best against our fabrics.

How to Order Personalized Items

The items that are eligible for personalization are set up in the shopping cart with up to 2 lines to type in your text or initials with the additional charges listed beneath. The shopping cart will add the additional charge per line entered - in most cases the cost is $6.95 per line. For items that are sold in a set, we are offering one line of text on each (each item can be a different name or monogram), or you can choose to just have one item in the set personalized. If you leave a line blank, you will not be charged for that line. Feel free to use the Special Instructions field (appears during checkout) to specify any preferences on colors, fonts, placement, etc.

Additonal Custom Embroidery

We can also offer additional custom embroidery such as logos and other graphics (ducks, animals, you name it!). Just email us with your custom requests and we will be happy to give you a price quote.

Processing Time and Returns

Please allow an additional 3-5 days (in additon to our standard processing time) to process any order that contains personalization. Please note that all personalized items are conisdered Custom Items and are not returnable/exchangable unless they are defective.

Samples/Photos

The following photos show a few examples of our fabrics and some of the thread colors and fonts so you can see how certain colors show up better than others - we find that the darker, more contrasting thread colors (black, navy, red, fushia) work best on our fabrics. Feel free to email us for suggestions and more samples.
