Baby Quarterly

The baby shower gift that isn't a onesie.

By gift fourteen, the shower has produced a great deal of very similar clothing. A cover is the one that gets passed around the room — and unlike the outfits, it still means something once the baby has outgrown everything else in the pile.

What the cover says

A real sample — Juniper, with the “The Foodie” personality:

JUNIPER

8 weeks in. Infinite potential.

I don't ask when we eat. I announce it. The menu is milk. Table for one, now.

450+ bottles of milk drunk · 150+ poops · 1,000+ farts (est.) · 200+ outfit changes

Why it works
It's the one nobody else brought

Every shower has duplicate gifts. None of them are a magazine cover with the baby's name across it.

Costs under ten dollars

Frame-ready for $7.99, which makes it either a whole gift or the thing that makes a small one land.

It keeps working after the shower

The nursery wall, the grandparents' fridge, the first-birthday table — it outlives the newborn phase.

Questions

Can I make one before the baby is born?

The cover needs a photo, so most people make it after the birth — a common approach is to gift a printed card at the shower promising the cover once the baby arrives.

What details do I need?

One photo, the first name, the birthday, and a personality. That's the whole form.

Can the parents make more later?

Yes, and making them is always free — plenty of families make a new one every birthday.
