Who doesn’t love a good birthday party? We all do and more so the kids. But when it comes to birthday gifts we seem to be constantly stuck in a rut. We buy the same board games and the same toys that have been around for generations. I had completed a whole cycle of cooking sets, LEGO sets and arts and crafts set for the last few birthday parties and I really didn’t want to go buy the same things. But then I thought, kids at any age like things they can call their own. They love flaunting things with their name on it and cherish anything that is personalised – so why not something like that as gifts too? My Baby Babbles came to the rescue. I was familiar with their adorably customised photo journals, so when their site showed that they had a whole host of gifting options, it was exactly what I needed!
The Story behind My Baby Babbles
In what started as a journey in 2014, designing baby photo books, to treasure the special memories in one’s life, My Baby Babbles realised the gap in the Indian market that acutely fell short of bespoke and customised designs for the little ones. Even the few and far-fetched small companies specialising in personalised products had to rely on phone orders or word-of-mouth publicity to make their products known. That is when the idea for My Baby Babbles was born. The three partners- Mithila Chirawawala– a Business Managment graduate from Nottingham University, Puja Amlani-Jalan– with a background in Entrepreneurship from Bloomington and Rohana Shah– with a background in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University- decided to up the online shopping game with their motto- “customization at the click of a buttonâ€_x009d_.

Why we are crushing on My Baby Babbles:
- First, we are not just talking same old, same old anymore. There are products that are different and will make you go, “Hey! That’s a great gift idea, why didn’t I think of it before?”
- There’s a right balance of local and international brands – keeping in mind that ‘gifting’ is a critical sub-sect of the parenting and baby care segment!
- Â What we love the most? The Next Day Shipping option! How many times have we come dangerously close to the party date with no gift in hand? Yes, this is for you, you know who you are!
- Being a specialised baby boutique store, a lot of thought has gone into making sure they have every detail and gift needed in every category. For instance, if silver reminds you of boring tumblers and cups to feed newborns, think again! The silver-plated gifts offer a never-before-seen variety that is sure to usher in a new era of gifting options!
What we would like to see:
- While the quality is great and gifting options organised by how much you are willing to spend, we did wonder if the products are a tad too expensive.
- Would love to see them do party essentials and supplies.
