I have been looking all over for pencils for a baby shower. I would even like them engraved if it’s at all possible. I am giving a baby shower with a few games and i thought it would be a cute keepsake that people could use after. I can’t find anything like this anywhere, can you give me any suggestions?

Hi Debbie,
Thanks for your question! I, of all people, understand how difficult it is to plan any event. With careful planning and my expertise, however, success is not far! Let me begin by answering your initial question.

Absorbent, Ink. has a vast array of pencils. All of them can be imprinted with, “It’s a boy,” or, “It’s a girl,” if you know the sex of the baby. If not, imprint a personalized message congratulating the mother. Most of our pencils are either screen printed or silkscreened. There are, however, other printing options available depending on what type of pencil you would like to use.

Just in case you do not see any pencils that strike your fancy, here are a few unique product ideas.

What is more stressful than having a baby? Show the mom-to-be that you and the rest of her friends understand the stress she is feeling by giving them stress balls. You could consider imprinting a heart stress ball with, “Be a stress free mom-to-be,” or simply imprinting the date of the baby shower.

The last idea I will present here is very, very simple. All baby showers need decorations. You could consider imprinting plates, napkins and drinkware with a personalized message. We also have a wide selection or balloons that can be printed with the message or phrase of your choice.

If you would like to get more information about any of these ideas or would like to ask if we have something you did not see on our Web site, feel free to call our client service department at 1-866-618-3471. We want to help you find the perfect product for this occasion.

I hope that some of my ideas sparked your interest and you contact us soon!
