I’m a huge fan of giving personalized baby gifts, especially for babies that aren’t firstborns. And I recently learned about a cute personalized gift idea (and smart way to keep your children’s pacifiers straight) that is today’s hint: personalized pacifiers.
Didn’t know you could personalize pacifiers? I didn’t either, until I asked the folks over at MAM if it was an option. It turns out that since 2012, MAM has been offering customers the ability to buy pacifiers customized with a “child’s name, initials or clever saying” (think “Little Sister” or “Spoil Me,” for instance).
MAM is offering a $100 gift package — including six personalized pacifiers, teethers, oral care items, bottles, cups and pacifier accessories — to one lucky Hint Mama reader. See below for details.
Beyond MAM, others also offer pacifier personalization. Pacifier brand RaZBaby, for example, lets customers customize certain pacifiers with a line of text (think baby’s name). And there are a host of sites offering personalized pacifiers, including MyPacifier.com, PersonalizedPacifiers.com and Zazzle.com.
Don’t have any babies you need to buy gifts for? Customized pacifiers don’t just work great as cute gifts for new parents.
A spokeswoman for MAM says parents also purchase personalized pacifiers for their babies because the personalization makes it “easy to know which pacifier is yours at day care.” Plus, if you have multiple kids or your child likes to swap pacifiers with friends, personalized pacifiers can also make it easier to tell whose paci (or “baba,” as my tot calls her pacifier) is whose.
In addition, as shown in a video featured over at Today Parents, customized pacifiers can be a fun way to announce a pregnancy to a relative, like the future grandpa. They can also serve as cute baby shower decorations and favors.
To be sure, the personalization feature isn’t cheap. MAM charges $19.95 for two personalized pacifiers, $24.95 for four pacis and $29.99 for six (the pacifiers arrive in a nice gift box).
There also are limits to how much customization you can do. MAM, for instance, only offers customization of words, not images, on a select number of pacifier colors, and there’s a word limit of two lines of text with 10 characters each. RaZBaby, meanwhile, offers two $5.99 pacifiers with penguin images that can be customized with a short line of text.
However, even with these limitations, personalized pacifiers are a fun idea to consider. What are your thoughts on customized pacis and why? What uses could you see for them? Share your thoughts, and enter to win a MAM gift package, below.

These are so adorable and would be great as gifts and for a baby shower.
MAM are the best – the only kind my daughter likes. Love the personalized idea – I’d label them with locations, so that we could always make sure there was one for the car, the crib, etc. Yeah, I’m crazy 🙂
If you have more than one kid, you don’t confuse each child’s pacifier. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love personalized pacis!
MAM pacifiers are the only ones my daughter and son ever used. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have twin granddaughters and these would be great to label to know who’s is who’s.
I think that it is great. It is a new thing and not very exciting
I LOVE this idea. I’m always dropping my kiddo’s pacis. These would be great for making sure they get back to me from the church nursery instead of being thrown away!
My motto is; if it isn’t moving, monogram it! I have been looking at pacifiers on etsy & think they are adorable
I think it’s a great idea to personalize pacifiers! Nowadays in daycare, nursery’s at churches, etc. it’s easy to lose your child’s pacifier, get mixed up with another child’s. This would help prevent that mistake! It’s also cute to have your child’s name or personalization on things.
My grand daughter can’t go without soothers, this would be a great gift for her
I think they would be a cute baby gift.
I am a fan of all things personalized so why not my kids pacifier. I LOVE the idea!
Thanks for hosting and making this giveaway open to Canadians.
