Hi,

Who has keepsake boxes for their baby? And what have you kept in them? (Or on the flip side, decided not to keep 😂)

Need some ideas!

Thank you

I got a Times newspaper for each of mine on the day they were born (sent husband down to hospital shop) I'm intending to give them to them on their 21st birthdays. Expecting a 'What's a newspaper, Mum?' back 🤣

I have one for DS, which currently contains:

• Scan photos
• Cord stump and clamp
• Cord scissors
• Hospital wristbands
• Polaroid of when he was first born
• Going home outfit
• Hospital hat
• Cards
• Hand and footprints
• Moulds of his feet
• My favourite babygrows from each size up to 9m
• First shoes
• Lock of hair from his first haircut
• Stuff we’ve made at baby groups

It’s a small suitcase rather than a box, admittedly Blush

Cute! Did you also keep your hospital wristband? What’s your thoughts on first toothbrush & teeth? 😂
