Meyamo Adds a Personal Touch to D-I-Y Gifts

Personalized gifts and creative DIY kits are a popular trend at baby showers and children’s birthday parties. A custom-made gift adds sentimental value, turning the gift into a treasured keepsake that commemorates both the recipient and the thoughtful giver. Meyamo invites consumers to be a part of the creative process by customizing gifts with its iron-on transfers. Available in a wide array of designs — from cute alphabet letters to charming scenes — iron-on transfers from Meyamo can be used to customize everything from t-shirts and bibs to bedding and paper. Let the fun begin!

Chilean-born designer Sofia Herrera founded Meyamo after creating custom gifts for friends and their babies. Her personalized gifts grew so quickly in popularity that they became an outlet for her artistic talents. She decided to market her talent and create a business that reflected her values.

Meyamo stands for “me llamo” which is Spanish for “my name is.” Meyamo alludes to the importance of encouraging babies to express their own identities and to help them find their own special place in the world.

Meyamo offers an array of personalization projects from one-pieces to t-shirts, bedding to bags. Iron-on letters can be used to create words or names on a chosen palette. Spotlight a child’s interest with iron-on designs focusing on kid-friendly themes such as dinosaurs, pirates, butterflies, and cats. Meyamo even offers holiday designs to create personalized Christmas stockings or special occasion bibs and hats.

Meyamo’s colorful iron-on designs are different than the plastic feel of screen print. The designs are soft to the touch and can be washed over and over without peeling. Design options include a single-colored design or mix-and-matched colors to really make a project pop.

The creatively-challenged consumer may be apprehensive of a do-it-yourself project. Not to worry…Meyamo makes DIY a cinch with instructions included with each design. Video instructions are also available on its Web site.

Meyamo designs are not just for gift-giving though. Families can enjoy creating fun, personalized projects together. To further inspire creativity, Meyamo even offers monthly DIY projects on their blog, www.meyamo.wordpress.com, using recycled products. Herrera shares, “We want to bring fun, thoughtful, and socially responsible design to modern families. We strive to produce baby apparel and accessories of the best quality and design so each product becomes a precious family heirloom.”
