Baby Shower Trends 2019

Traditional Baby Shower Gifts are our Specialty – Argo & Lehne Jewelers

  • Baby Cups & Feeding Spoons – remain the most popular gifts of all our baby goods items.
  • Monograms everywhere!! May we make a suggestion? Our favorite monogram font for girls is the intricate Interlocking font and for boys is Roman 4.
  • Engraving – everything personalized. A special engraved note will last a lifetime. On the classic baby cup, many place the monogram or baby’s name facing the child so they can learn their letters and how to recognize their own name.
  • Baby’s 1st Ornament – an heirloom piece on many of our customers’ Christmas trees is the A&L bell with the baby’s name and birth date engraved.
  • Sterling silver – a timeless metal. However, we sell many gorgeous, price approachable silver plate and pewter items as well.

These cut-out cookies are fit for a Royal Baby and oh, that gold!

  • Gold is the “it” color!  Invites, decor, shoes…
  • Many of our clients love little embellishments like crowns, feathers, flowers.
  • Pastel color schemes – blush for girls and blue/grey for boys.
  • Showers are becoming more “extra”, serving sweets like delicate French macarons, chocolate dipped strawberries, cake truffles and other delicious mini sweets.
