If you are looking to buy a keepsake gift for a new mother or her baby you will probably want a memorable gift that will last a long time.
Ideally, the keepsake gift will be good quality. It should also be put into good use, as you definitely do not want it sitting inside a drawer collecting dust, or even worse - regifted. You may also want something that is pleasing to look at and display in the home. And most importantly, it should withstand the test of time.
Here are some ideas for the best keepsake gifts to get you started.
Jewelry
May it be personalized necklaces, bracelets, lockets, or rings, jewelry is another popular keepsake gift as they tend to be made of precious metal and stones which can increase in value over time. Jewelry can be customized to include the baby’s name, birthdate, or other special details. Lockets can also include baby photos, so that mothers can always keep their babies close to their heart! Not only is jewelry a great monetary investment, a great piece of jewelry can also become a favorite piece of someone’s wardrobe.
Designer Pen and Planner
Ideal for keeping up with to-do lists, grocery lists, or simply keeping up with the demands of being a new mother, nothing says class like having a great designer pen tucked into your purse along with a planner to stay on track. Usually made out of precious metals like gold, some of these expensive pens may also be adorned with diamonds. Bullet journals and weekly planners are great for keeping new moms organized.
Personalized Mug or Tumbler
A coffee cup or tumbler featuring the baby is a great gift for new parents, especially those who need to return to work shortly after their baby is born. There are plenty of online outfitters to help you customize a special mug. Some ideas include a mug featuring a photo of the baby, the baby’s birthdate, the baby’s name, or a special quote.
