You can make a keepsake pillow or you can find one online and order it.  Either way, the creativity and thoughtfulness of this gift will shine through.

So what is a personalized keepsake baby pillow? It can be thought of in a couple different ways. You can personalize a baby pillow with the baby’s name, date of birth, height and weight.  You can do this in a number of ways from embroidering, stenciling, using an applique.  The ideas are only limited by your creativity.

You can also include in the gift a keepsake item such as a handprint or footprint kit.  There are kits available that will provide you with 5 tins all ready to use.  The new mom can then help her child create a handprint each year for the first 5 years.  What a cherished memory it will be, not only to think about how the child has grown, but the creation of the prints as well.

You can also include a tin to keep a lock of hair from the first hair cut, or the first tooth given to the tooth fairy.

Any milestone can be commemorated.  It’s a great way for new parents to be able to track and make memories for each milestone their child approaches.

When you put together a keepsake item with a personalized baby pillow you end up with a gift that keeps on giving.  A new mom will appreciate that you took the time and effort and will cherish your gift forever.
