Baby Jewelry and Keepsake Tips
Help That Baby Make his Mark
If looking at endless baby shower keepsakes has done you no good and you're still empty handed as far as your gift goes, try thinking of getting something more original. Those tiny little hands and feet are adorable but, as much as we'd like them to, they're not going to stay that size. As it is the law of nature, we all grow up. However, you can buy a great keepsake gift that will forever preserve the image of those tiny appendages. Get the new parents a baby handprint set. This decorative tin is filled with a casting material that allows parents to take a mold of their baby's tint hand. In addition, the inside of the lid of the tin has a space to place a picture of the baby. This is the perfect way to help the parents keep those tiny hands that size forever.

Give an Elegant Baby Gift
If the stereotypical baby gifts (like plastic rattles and fleece blankets) aren't really your thing, give a gift with a little more elegance. Get that little prince or princess a beautiful, sterling silver baby gift. There are oodles of options so take your time and pick one that is your style.
If you want to give something that is practical and can be used for years to come, get a silver comb and brush set engraved with the little sweetie's name.
If you want to give something more playful, give a silver rattle ring that is sure to outlast and stuffed or plastic one.
Or, if you just want to give something lovely that the child can keep around for years, give a luxurious personalized silver jewelry box. Whatever type of silver gift you give, you will be giving something that is both beautiful and durable.

Baby Jewelry Safety
Let's face it, baby jewelry is adorable and it's hard to resist buying that teeny bracelet or tiny necklace to decorate a new infant. If you're going to do it, however, make sure that you keep safety in mind. Here are some key safety issues to keep in mind while shopping:
Make sure that the material is hypoallergenic.
Make sure that beads or charms are tightly woven so there is no risk that they will fall off and be swallowed
Select high-quality materials that will not chip or break apart and become choking hazards.
Make sure that the jewelry has a safe latch (DO NOT pick jewelry with sharp clasps or pin latches).

Give a Little More
Sterling silver baby gifts are beautiful but if you want to give a little more than a silver keepsake, make a gift basket that centers around the silver item. Here's a great idea: First, have a sterling silver baby spoon engraved with the child's name. Then, buy a large wicker basket and line in with an adorable baby blanket. Fill the basket to the brim with baby formula and assorted flavors of jarred baby food. Buy 2 or 3 adorable baby bibs (try to stick to a particular theme like duckies or polka dots) and arrange those in the basket as well. Wrap the spoon up in a gift box and place it in the middle of the basket. Finally, top the basket of with a nice bow.
