Creative Ways to Preserve Your Baby Keepsakes

July 8, 2023 by Jenni

As a new parent, you are likely overwhelmed with love and joy for your new bundle of joy. You want to capture every moment, every milestone, and every memory. That’s where baby keepsakes come in. These special items help you remember those sweet moments for years to come.

Many different types of baby keepsakes are available, from traditional items like baby books and photo albums to more unique options like personalised blankets and handprint kits. The key is to choose something that speaks to you and your family.

Memory box

This can be a simple cardboard box or a more elaborate wooden chest. Fill it with items like your baby’s first outfit, a hospital bracelet, and a lock of hair from their first haircut. You can also include scan photos, special cards, letters, or notes from loved ones welcoming your little one into the world.

Milestone blanket

Milestone blankets have special designs to mark each month of your baby’s first year, making them perfect for monthly photo sessions. You can add special touches like a stuffed animal or a sign with your baby’s name and birthdate.

Handprint and footprint kits

These kits let you capture your baby’s tiny hands and feet in clay or ink. You can also add a photo of your little one to create a beautiful display piece for your home.

Handprint jewellery

Handprint jewellery is a unique and meaningful way to capture a moment in time. These special pieces of jewellery are created by taking an impression of a loved one’s handprint and turning it into a beautiful piece of wearable art. Whether it’s a necklace, bracelet, or ring, handprint jewellery is a wonderful way to keep a memory close to your heart.

Breastmilk jewellery

Breastmilk jewellery is a unique and sentimental way to commemorate a mother’s breastfeeding journey. It involves preserving a small amount of a mother’s breastmilk and incorporating it into a piece of jewellery, such as a pendant or ring. This allows the Mum to keep a physical reminder of the bond she shared with her child during their breastfeeding journey. The jewellery can also serve as a conversation starter and a way for the Mum to share her experience with others. It is a beautiful and meaningful way to honour the special connection between a Mum and her child.

No matter what type of baby keepsake you choose, be sure to take the time to enjoy the moment. These items are meant to help you remember the special moments of your baby’s first year, but they are also a reminder to slow down and savour the joy and wonder of parenthood.

Giveaway

Marky Baby Milk Jewelry has offered to give away one of their DIY breastmilk jewellery kits to one lucky reader.  Their kits include everything you need to preserve your breastmilk, the mixing tools, the jewellery and the instructions.
