One of the best ways to preserve memories is in tokens and keepsakes that remind you of the beautiful moments in life. Everyone collects the classic keepsakes: a lock of hair, first shoes, and the hospital tag, but there are so many other memories and mementoes you could cherish.
Happy Newspaper
The Happy Newspaper from the month that your baby was born is a great way of capturing what the world was like when they came into it. Showing the joyfulness and positivity of the world, at one of the most special moments of your life. The Happy Newspaper focuses on the good in the world, sharing positive news and wonderful people, and is an upbeat keepsake to save for years to come.
Bill for your Baby Equipment
Saving your baby equipment bill as a memento of when everything became real, when you took your first tangible steps toward your baby's arrival. It’s a small reminder of how far you’ve come from those nervous parents, in the first stages of preparing for the baby. A reminder of all the research you put into the perfect stroller, the car seat you chose to keep them safe and the first onesie that you couldn’t help but buy.
Their Newborn Nappy
The perfect keepsake to look back and think, “How were you ever that small?”. Their newborn nappy is a sweet token of your baby's first months, and a great reminder of how much they have grown since those days. It’s a symbol of the early days, of sleepless nights, bonding and their firsts. Sometimes, the seemingly inconsequential and everyday items are the best keepsakes, because they hold the memories from when they were something you relied on.
A Letter for their First Birthday
Meminio ‘When You Were Small’ books are the perfect way to collect and save all the little things that often get lost in the busyness of having children. The book includes a letter to your baby for their first birthday, a perfect keepsake to record how you felt and your thoughts in that first year with your baby. Taking a moment to fill out the pages with the little details and memories of your little one’s early years (0-5 years old) will be something you and your child will be able to look back on and reminisce about.
Knitted Keepsake
Keeping the first knitted jumper, blanket, teddy or hat that your baby had if a great way to see how big they have gotten. The knitted piece also holds the memories and uniqueness of the person who made it or got it for your baby. A personalised Baba Bear, for example, is a perfect personal touch, holding the memories of your child when they were small but also holding the memory of those who loved and supported your baby from the start.
Nursery Swatches
Nursery swatches - whether from the curtains, paint or wallpaper- are a really special way to preserve your babies nursery forever. Their nursery is their first space in your home, and it's where many of their firsts took place. These swatches are a tangible reminder of the memories, long sleepless nights, first steps, first smiles and many nappy changes. It’s a keepsake which takes you back to where you were when so many important memories were being created.
