Bringing a newborn baby into the world is a truly life-changing experience: your routines will be reshaped, your priorities shifted, but - most significantly - your life will be imbued with a greater sense of meaning. There are many uniquely special ways to celebrate the birth of a baby boy or girl, from lavish arrival parties and baby showers to casual get-togethers with friends and family...
But if you're searching for a heartfelt gift that will commemorate the arrival of a newborn, and be treasured for many years to come, look no further than your cross stitch pastime.
The arrival of a baby also births a new mother and father, and while many gifts are wonderful at showing your appreciation, few have the personalised appeal of a cross stitch birth sampler, record or announcement. At Past Impressions we offer some of the most adorable, unique and memorable birth sampler designs to make a lasting impression on your loved ones. You can customise the vibrant designs with not only the name of a newborn baby, but also their weight and date of birth to add the perfect personal touch and make the gesture complete.
In our latest blog, we'll guide you through some of the best cute and cuddly cross stitch birth samplers to frame and display on any nursery wall to enjoy for many years to come.
