A custom photo gift for babies too young to make one themselves

We all know how much babies and toddlers love to look at photos of the people they love, and so a custom photo gift can be a wonderful baby gift. But if you are like me, those puffy, plastic photo albums aren't your idea of great nursery decor. And framed pictures in glass? Well, we all know how that is going to turn out. Enter BéBé Blocks. This great shop, started by a stay at home mom and her own dad, takes your favorite digital photos to create beautiful custom photo blocks to display.

Don’t miss an exclusive offer for CMP readers below.

The wooden blocks would make great nursery or home decor, or a wonderful grandparent present. They are the perfect size to stash in your bag for restaurant entertainment, or just place in the corner of a bookshelf or desk without taking up nearly as much room as traditionally framed photos. Plus, no glass to break!

The clarity of the photos is great in person, and they seem highly durable with a thick layer of plastic to encase the image. And while I wouldn't give these photo blocks to teething babies to chew on,  I think older toddlers and preschoolers would like pulling them from the shelf to make a tower out of all the people they love. They will also want to knock that tower of people over--but don't be offended. Find custom photo blocks, magnets, and more at BéBé Blocks. Just mention "Cool Mom Picks" in the comments of your order and you will receive a free extra magnet or wooden block with your order, depending on which you order.
