<p>I echo the personalized step-stools - we give them to clients who have had babies.</p>
<p>The other thing that is nice is one of those measuring sticks with some sort of decoration at the bottom (can be personalized) - it looks like a yardstick, but with some child-appropriate decoration on the bottom – you nail it to a wall and can track baby’s growth.</p>
<p>We have two (with a dinosaur and a pink elephant) that we received when my twins were babies, and keep them on a laundry room wall. We measured them every few months and marked it on the wall - we even still measure them on their birthdays even though they are 18, it’s turned into quite the little tradition.</p>
