Baby Keepsakes @ AmritaParyani.ART

Did you know that in baby’s first 6 months of life they will double their birth weight, grow by about 4.5 inches in length and increase their head circumference by about 3 inches?

In fact, that’s the fastest they will ever grow!

Needless to say, their little hands and feet will also grow fast in proportion to their bodies.

That’s why the first 9 months of a baby’s life is the perfect time to capture their hand or foot with imprints that you can keep as a memento of how tiny they used to be. Keepsakes made of your baby’s prints can also make a very special memento for family, to cherish forever.

To help you capture this special moment in time, we will make a personal visit to your place and get you YOUR BABIES LIFETIME ORNAMENTS.

To design these ornaments we use NATURAL and ORGANIC items like dough, organic natural colors, clay molds, etc...

There are plenty of varieties in this, such as -
- Getting babies hand and foot print framed on a wall
- Printed Merchandise
- Clay Plaque on a wall
- 3D Casts to be kept anywhere you like

The right gift depends on the situation. Some keepsakes are perfect for baby showers. Others are ideal for newborns. Of course, grandparents would like keepsakes too.

This list will help you make the right choice. If you’re expecting a new baby to show up soon, keep the following keepsake gift ideas in mind.

Keepsakes Gift for a Baby Shower
The excitement expecting parents may feel as their new baby approaches can often reach its peak at their baby shower. Cherish this excitement and this moment with these gifts.

1. Advice puzzle pieces
Parents-to-be often ask guests to fill out cards with advice for them or their child at a baby shower. They typically store these cards somewhere, returning to them as their baby grows.
Put a unique spin on this traditional keepsake by asking guests to write their messages on blank puzzle pieces instead of cards. You can frame the finished puzzle, or put it together in the future, making this common gift more interactive.

2. Your favorite book from childhood
Many simple gifts can still be special. Gifting a special edition of your favorite book from childhood at a baby shower lets you offer something practical while also incorporating your personality into the keepsake.

3. Baby prediction boxes
Baby shower guests and parents-to-be love making predictions at a baby shower. Which parent will the baby look more like? What time of day will they be born? What will their first word be?
With this keepsake, guests can jot down their predictions on cards and store them in a box so new parents can return to them later and find out which predictions came true.

4. Birthday prediction calendar
This twist on the prediction box gives baby shower guests something fun to do, and it gives both parents and their new baby a cherished keepsake.
Choose any calendar that appeals to you and ask guests to initial or sign the date when they think the baby will arrive. To make the activity even more fun, find a cute ink stamp in the shape of hearts, baby feet, or something similar, and ask guests to stamp the date above their initials.

Keepsake for a Newborn Baby
Newborns deserve keepsakes as well. While they might not be able to appreciate all the gifts they receive at first, many keepsakes help children learn about their own early life experiences later. Ideas to consider include:

1. Baby time capsule
Newborn baby keepsake gifts often give a baby a chance to learn about their first year of life in the future.
That’s why you should consider giving a baby time capsule to new parents. Or, if you are a new parent, buy one for yourself and your child. Just about any sort of container can serve this purpose, from a traditional wooden box with the newborn’s name engraved on it to a more decorative vase.
New parents can use this time capsule to store mementos from the first year of their child’s life. Once it’s full, they’ll seal it, opening it up again with their child on a future date of their choosing.

2. Customized baby piggy bank
Help a newborn learn the power of saving during their first few years of life with a piggy bank. Even better, give a customized one, with their name and date of birth printed on it.
Over the years, they and their parents can deposit coins into the bank, opening it up (and probably buying a treat with the contents) when it’s full.

3. Personalized baby blocks
Babies love playing with blocks. New parents love personalized gifts. Combine the two by ordering personalized baby blocks with letters that spell out the child’s name, along with their date of birth and related details. Many sellers on Etsy and similar platforms will make these for you.

4. Personalized plush toy
This customized gift is another option to consider. Like baby blocks, you can order a custom stuffed animal with a baby’s name printed on it, adding a personal spin to a classic gift.

5. Photo ornament
Consider this gift if you want to go the DIY approach, but don’t fully trust your own crafting skills. Just about anyone can easily make a photo ornament. All you need to do is buy a basic transparent ball-shaped ornament and insert a special picture of your loved one’s new baby inside.

6. Foot cast
Newborns grow fast. Before a new baby gets bigger, you might want to make a foot cast. With a quick search, you’ll find plenty of kits that let you cast the unique imprint of a baby’s foot in clay. Of course, you could also make your own if you know what type of materials to use.

7. Fingerprint flower pot
Keep this DIY gift idea in mind if you want to give a baby the chance to help make their own gift. With (baby safe!) paint or ink, they can decorate a flower pot with their fingerprints and handprints (read this article on handprint keepsakes for more.) The result will continue to capture the baby’s frantic creativity and energy for years to come.

8. DIY picture frame
If you have basic woodworking skills, make a picture frame for a baby keepsake. While a basic frame will certainly make for an ideal gift, if you want to get more creative, you can make a larger frame or something similar to a memorial collage, with smaller individual sections to hold multiple pictures from a baby’s early years.

Baby Keepsake for Parents and Grandparents
Whether you’re trying to come up with gift ideas for parents or gifts for older people, consider these baby keepsakes. They’ll make a baby’s first few years even more memorable than they already are.

1. First year tracking chart
Quite a bit tends to happen over the course of a baby’s first year of life. They’ll start crawling. In some cases, they’ll take their first steps. Their first teeth will show up.
These moments naturally thrill new parents. Help them document this momentous year with a chart with blank spaces (and accompanying illustrations or graphics) where they can enter the dates when these moments first occur.
You can find numerous options online (Google “baby first year tracking chart” or “baby first year infographic”), or make your own if you have graphic design skills.

2. Newborn baby journal
A chart like the one described above gives new parents the opportunity to track major developments in the life of a newborn. However, they might also appreciate a gift that lets them record their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences during their first year raising a new child.
That’s what makes a newborn baby journal a fantastic gift. Gift shops often carry these. Give one to new parents, and they’ll always have a collection of recorded memories they can turn back to as their child grows.

3. Grandparent memory book
New parents aren’t the only ones who want to keep track of their memories over the course of a baby’s first year. Grandparents also savor these experiences.
A memory book for a grandparent lets them do so. This is another gift that comes in many styles. Some shops sell memory journals designed specifically for new grandparents. You can also buy a generic journal and customize it if you prefer.
However, unlike the newborn baby journal, new grandparents themselves won’t fill out this book. Instead, a baby’s parents will fill it out with messages from their baby describing beloved experiences they had with their grandparents during their first year.

Entries might include “I loved it when Grandma sang me my first song” or “Thank you for making my first birthday so special.” Once the book is all filled out, new parents will give it back to the grandparents, letting them look back on this happy time.

4. Birthstone pendant jewelry
One grandchild may not always satisfy all grandparents. The odds are good that a new baby’s siblings may arrive someday in the future.
If you expect that to be the case, consider this gift idea. Get a bracelet or necklace that you can add multiple pendants to, and every time a new grandchild arrives, give the grandparents a birthstone pendant with the baby’s name or initials engraved on the back. They’ll love seeing the bracelet or necklace transform as their family grows.
