Personalised Wooden Rattle

A rattle engraved with the baby’s name (or initials, if the baby’s name isn’t public yet) is the “extra special” baby-shower gift. Etsy and Amazon both have artisans offering personalisation — budget $25–$45 depending on the wood and engraving complexity. Worth the wait time for the right gift. The kind of heirloom that ends up in a memory box, not the donation pile.
