Press Release Summary: Celebrate a child's name with customized, personalized and
monogrammed baby gifts

Press Release Body: Darien, CT, October 30, 2008 -- BabyBox.com, a luxury retailer
of high-end baby bedding, crib bedding, bassinets, baby furniture and baby gifts,
presents tips for choosing a baby name, offering a superior collection of
personalized, monogrammed and customizable kids and baby gifts that celebrate the
importance of a baby's name while reinforcing the development of a child's own
identity.

"Naming a baby is a very special and often challenging and time-consuming task that
parents will face, but once decided, it's a celebratory occasion," says Katherine
Type, founder of BabyBox.com. "Today, celebrities are not the only parents choosing
unique baby names or even made up names. Remember those bicycle name plates? They
were fine until you tried to find an uncommon name. At BabyBox.com, even unusual
names or names with unconventional spellings can be customized on most gift items."

Parents who are putting off the process of choosing a name can take heart with some
simple steps to get them started. The first step usually evolves from a process of
eliminating names. Knowing which names are not desirable is an important step toward
narrowing a list of possibilities. If a non-traditional name is sought, the logical
place to start would be to rule out the most common names. Next, write down all
family names, if tradition is important or if honoring a beloved relative is a
prerogative. Lastly, take the final list of baby names and sleep on them, consider
any difficulties a child might have with spelling, initials, double meanings and
gender identification.

Whether taking the traditional or non-traditional route to naming a baby,
BabyBox.com has the essential customizable, personalized and monogram luxury baby
gifts that children will treasure as their very own.

Personalization starts from day one, when baby is brought home in monogrammed Pima
cotton layette sets or bib sets. Documenting a baby's firsts and milestones gets
customized with a wide array of baby books, albums and keepsake boxes, including "A
Baby Book for You" with artworks by Ralph Caldecott, Kate Greenaway, Walter Crane,
and others from the golden age of children's book illustration. The book includes a
section about why a child's name was chosen.

According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, some of the most popular boy
names in this decade include Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, Andrew, Christopher,
Daniel, Joseph, Ethan and William. Masculine or unusual, inherited or new, baby boys
can proudly wear their moniker on personalized baby scrubs, monogrammed golf
t-shirts, personalized corduroy rompers, monogrammed handmade moccasins, baseball
caps and many other baby boy gifts.

The 10 most popular girl names are Emily, Madison, Emma, Hannah, Olivia, Abigail,
Ashley, Samantha. Jaden, Phoenix and Riley are some unique unisex baby names (for
boys or girls), while the twin names Ella/Emma and Madison/Morgan were the most
popular combinations in 2007. Fashionable lasses can make a statement through
personalized clothing. Choose from monogrammed dresses, cotton hoodies, luxury
layette, personalized dresses, monogrammed bathing suits and diaper covers to add a
touch of elegance to baby's wardrobe.

A staple of every baby's wardrobe is the monogrammed baby body suit that works great
under outfits or as is in warmer weather. Create individualized sleeping and playing
spaces with personalized and monogrammed blankets, pillows and towels. Customized
wall art and wooden wall letters encourages learning a child's name, while
personalized Warhol style pop art is a perfectly whimsical piece for any room.
Sturdy personalized puzzle stools make a wonderful activity gift that is both
educational and useful. Personalized name stools and personalized name puzzles also
come in Hebrew.

Play time becomes extra special with a monogrammed Plain Mary Kensington Baby Play
Mat, a selection of dolls for boys and girls, cuddly personalized Hand Knit Cotton
Bunny. Personalized baby keepsakes include first baseball, handprint sets and silver
baby gifts. And don't forget to bring a new level of fun and education to mealtime
with personalized baby gift plates and monogrammed oil cloth lunch bags for that
retro look and feel.
