Hey, baby. Here's your sign.

Well, I do believe I have just discovered the most original new baby gift on the planet. Bold proclamation, I know, but have a look at these new custom birth charts by Amy Karol --yes, she of "Bend-the-Rules Sewing and Bend-the-Rules with Fabric fame. And then try to tell me they aren't a perfectly amazing baby gift.
Including information about astrological sign, birthstone, birth flower and more, Amy creates a beautiful hand-lettered and hand-drawn birth chart based on the name and birth date that you provide.

Her illustrations are simple yet striking, and the final product --which is digitally reproduced and printed on heavyweight, highly-textured paper-- is most certainly a work of art.

She also assigns a one-word meaning to each image, keeping it positive (or neutral) since, as she explains, no one really wants "slightly delusional arsonist" on a custom birthchart. Yeah. I think she's right there. -Stephanie
