Their Name, Folded for the Nursery Shelf
Every baby shower has five blankets and three diaper cakes. Nobody brings the baby's name folded into a book — a few dollars, a weekend of folding, and it sits on the nursery shelf until they leave for college.

Baptism giftsNew Baby Gift FAQ
What book should I fold for a nursery?
A children's classic the family will read later — Winnie-the-Pooh, a fairy-tale collection, a book from the parents' own childhood. Cream pages, 300 or more of them. The cover stays visible on the shelf, so pick one that looks the part.
The baby's name isn't in your list — can I still make it?
Yes — the ready-made PDFs cover the most popular names, but the generator folds any name up to 8 letters, fitted to your exact book. Type the name, enter the book's page count and height, download the PDF.
How long does one name take to fold?
About 80 pages per letter, one fold per sheet, roughly a minute each. A four-letter name is an evening or two; start a week before the shower and you're comfortable.
