Baby Keepsakes to Keep AroundPersonally, I love giving my friends “with child” beautiful yet often blatantly impractical baby keepsakes as shower gifts. A low murmur usually spreads out across the room as my tulle ribbon and baby sock rosette embellished present is unwrapped among a sea of previously opened and unfortunately utilitarian Diaper Genies, baby tubs and bottle warmers. My undeniably frivolous but oh-so-chic shower gift is always greeted with squeals of delight by the recipient and laments of “why didn’t I think of that” among the guests. Ahh, sweet victory!
While it may be useful to stockpile automatic wipe warmers or score a state-of-the art video baby monitor, it is so much more gratuitously satisfying to run your fingers across a silver engraved baby cup or whimsical hand-painted piggy bank and daydream about all the life that is waiting to be lived by your little one. So-Cute-Baby-Gifts.com has put together a must-have selection of baby keepsakes, from the traditional to more modern, that every expectant mom dreams of receiving but would never purchase for herself.
Recently, I gave a dear girlfriend who is a mother of three snail-tail boys a princess-worthy silver brush and comb set after she left her ultrasound appointment with the shocking news that a baby girl was finally on the way. Of course, I’ll have to take it to a jewelry shop and have it monogrammed later after the name is confirmed, but at the time the joy was just to momentous to wait for an official shower or birth announcement. This mom-to-be-again is already planning a proper and pretty pink vanity area in the nursery to display this and other luxe baby keepsakes she’s already received in honor of her chromosomal breakthrough.
Up until about kindergarten, life is full of “firsts” - first steps, first words, the first day of school. Commemorate two of a child’s most important milestones with our charming First Tooth and Curl Set. Any parent would love to keep safe a precious ribbon-tied lock of hair and teeny-tiny baby tooth in this darling silvery set which can be displayed on a special shelf or in a curio cabinet full of family treasures. I always like to make an older brother or sister feel important during this time when everything is about the new baby by bringing a special gift just for them, such as a personalized picture frame to display a snapshot of the new siblings together.
Speaking of photos, I’ve noticed every new mom and dad absolutely loves to show off pictures of their new child wonder. A stylish brag book or baby record book is always an appreciated baby keepsake and will no doubt make the rounds at the next gathering of family and friends. For a unique way to display photos, our soft Photo Pillow holds your favorite baby picture in a see-through pocket on the front of this little boy or little girl themed throw pillow.
It’s unspeakable to think of now, but when your child grows up and leaves the nest each of the baby keepsakes from So-Cute-Baby-Gifts.com can be kept as family heirlooms and passed down from generation to generation. In my home we have four generations of engraved, silver baby cups that I proudly display on my coffee table – a much more interesting conversation starter when guests visit than a mass produced, run-of-the-mill knick-knack.
