The Cultured Girl

It’s summertime, and all of my child-rearing friends seem to be having babies left and right. If you’re in the same boat, check out Lacy Metals. The company makes handcrafted sterling-silver spoons with handles that spell out a baby’s name in script. It’s a cute but classy gift idea that doubles as a functional tool and a nice memento. The personlization is a bit pricey—names under six letters are $110, and each additional letter costs $10—so use it to reward parents who choose short but sweet baby names.
