Your friend or family member is expecting a baby and you are in charge of the gift. Everyone gives the expected bibs and layettes but this baby is special and you want to give something precious and memorable. You are looking for a gift that can become a family heirloom and passed down through generations. Why not consider a few options made exclusively for the newborn by caring Amish craftsmen.

CRADLES: Cradles may be an ancient bed for children but they are still very in vogue today, especially handmade cradles from the Amish. Imagine tucking a newborn into a sweet and sturdy cradle, made from solid hardwood construction. Its gentle rolling and rocking will comfort and lull any infant. The Amish cradle will nestle nicely in mom and dad’s bedroom. This wooden sleep basket can, in fact, be set up anywhere in the house to keep baby close. Available in oak, maple and cherry wood and are built with a cross-braced trestled platform for safety and stability.

 COMBINATION CHANGING TABLE, CHEST, DRESSER: Six drawers ensure space for all your babies’ belongings from t-shirts to onesies. They also make an excellent spot for diapers and supplies to be kept in easy reach. The changing table top is a safe and convenient height for changing babies now but converts to a dresser top for older children later.

  COMBINATION CHANGING TABLE ARMOIRE, WARDROBE: This Amish changing table with wardrobe or armoire is a very special piece for your nursery and your child. Four drawers hold many necessities but the child-sized closest is ideal for hanging those cute outfits. The changing table top makes changing your baby a convenient task and later can be used to sit collectables like well loved books and teddy bears. As the child grows they will feel very special being able to access their own closet but more importantly they can learn to hang up their own clothes as they tidy up.

THE CRIB: If you gift a solid wood crib from the Amish you can be comforted in knowing you’ve bought the best for this newborn. This heirloom quality investment will last through many years because of the ingenious Amish conversion design. This is a solid hardwood crib that converts to their first big kid’s day bed, then later a single bed with a handsome head and footboard. Designs are available from traditional or contemporary and will be a valued and treasured gift from birth through adulthood and then passed down to their own children. Now that is truly a memorable shower gift!
