Sonogram Cufflinks

Display Your Kids in the Womb on These Men's Accessories

— May 29, 2009 — Fashion
Show off your unborn child with these Sonogram Cufflinks. You can use either one picture for both, or two different pictures for each cufflink.

Of course, these are not only for unborn children; if you have old sonograms lying around of your pre-teens, you can have those made too!

All in all, this is a little creepy but also sweet. There's nothing like a proud papa!

Implications - North American consumers are always looking for products which distinguish them as individuals. As such, customizable products do extremely well as these items present themselves as being tailor-made to the specifications of the consumer. Corporations who are capable of offering an air of exclusivity to their products are likely to attract customers who are looking to stand out from their peers.
Trend Themes
1. Customizable Accessories - Corporations can capitalize on the trend of customizable products by offering personalized accessories that allow consumers to express their individuality.
2. Nostalgic Keepsakes - There is a market for products that cater to sentimental value, such as turning old sonograms into wearable accessories, which presents opportunities for companies to offer creative ways to preserve memories.
3. Parental Pride Merchandise - Products that allow parents to publicly display their pride, like these sonogram cufflinks, can tap into the emotional connection parents have with their children and create a profitable niche market.
Industry Implications
1. Customized Jewelry - The jewelry industry can seize the opportunity to offer customizable pieces that allow customers to showcase their unique tastes and memories.
2. Personalized Gift and Keepsake - The market for personalized gifts and keepsakes can expand by offering innovative ways to capture and display sentimental memories, appealing to customers seeking meaningful and personalized presents.
3. Baby and Parenting Accessories - Companies operating in the baby and parenting industry can create a line of products that cater to parental pride, offering accessories that allow parents to celebrate and showcase their connection with their children.
