Christianity has long had a firm foothold in the Western world, both in the so-called Old World and the New. Though previous generations of the faithful often practiced their religion with little fanfare, many of today's Christians are very outspoken and demonstrative with their beliefs. Moreover, they want the products they buy and use to reflect their faith wherever possible. One clear example of this fact is the rising popularity of Christian bibs for babies born into religious households.
Now, designer bib products have been around for some time. The fact is that many people alive today were outfitted in those cute bibs as infants. Most had adorable animals, amusing bits of text, and other cute words and images. Those types of bib offerings were popular and remain so in many communities to this day.
In most instances, however, those designs were little more than decorative additions to one of life's little necessities. They served no real purpose, and did little to comport with the attitudes or beliefs of the families that used them. Moreover, the images and words on the products tended to change with great frequency, as trends and fads came and went.
Once the religious began seeking products that reflected their deep faith convictions, however, it became clear to many of those product designers that there was a real economic opportunity to be realized. As they answered those parent's needs, the end result was a market full of bib products containing messages to God, Scripture, and other inspirational text.
The care taken in the production of these products is worthy of more than just a passing mention. The manufacturers make them using only the finest cotton spun to ensure that the fabric is incredibly soft. As any parent knows, soft fabrics are essential for newborns and infants, since most have varying levels of sensitivity to rough fabrics and other materials. Children need materials that are as nonabrasive as possible.
Most bib products of this nature come in the same basic size, and are designed so that one size can fit any infant from birth to roughly three years of age. They tend to have loop and hook enclosures, making them easy to put on and remove. Finally, they are all designed to be machine washable, and the design printing process ensures that text and images won't fade after a few times around the inside of the washing machine.
That last part is extremely important, of course. Since the baby years only last for so long, most parents have little interest in constantly replacing products that consistently fail to stand up to the washing machine process. By using only the highest quality materials and design techniques, the manufacturers create products designed to last for many months.
For Christians, there are few things that matter more than their Christ-driven commission to share their faith with the world. That commission remains in effect even when newborns come into the family. These bib offerings can offer these families a great way to demonstrate their faith, and can also serve as a constant reminder of their chosen religious path and commitment to serve as examples to the world.
