These Birth Announcement Pillows Serve as Soft Stuffed IDs

— February 6, 2012 — Life-Stages
While the idea of bringing one to a bar on your 21st birthday is amusing, these Birth Announcement Pillows primarily serve a more personal purpose. Designed to be custom-printed with a newborn's own information, these plushy items commemorate one's arrival into the world as sentimental keepsakes for the child and his or her parents alike.

Sold through Uncommon Goods, these cushions come in blue and pink, conventionally suited to boys and girls respectively. When you purchase one, you provide the infant's first name, his location, time and date of birth, his weight, his length, and his parents' names. The text is then applied to a removable cotton cover in block letters, inspired by old 1920s roll-stop subway signs. These Birth Announcement Pillows by Lori Blum make cute gifts from proud moms, dads, siblings and extended relatives.
