One of the things I have been meaning to do for baby Fifi (and me) is to create a memory box filled with things relating to her birth and first year of life. I really enjoy looking at all the things that my mum kept from when I was little. The hospital wrist band, birthday cards and so on and I would like to be able to share similar moments with my little girl.
Enter Blooming Marvellous, the independent maternity and baby shop who specialise in stylish maternity wear, baby gifts and useful parenting products. I was a bit pushy, I must admit, I had my eye on one and thought I would see if they would let me have one to review. They agreed, the power of the blog!
The Babyprints Memory Box is a largish wooden box which is nicely made, with two glass panels on the front. One is essentially a picture frame, the other is a photograph frame which is deep enough to frame the impression that you will make using air dried clay, of your little ones hands and or feet. Lovely. At £40 its the sort of price range that might appeal to a family member if they are looking for a good baby gift. I would have been over the moon if I had received one.
How did we get on with the air dried clay? Famously, baby Fifi is now 10 months old and therefore keen to get involved in this sort of activity which makes doing this sort of thing easy. I am handy enough at craft, following two years of practice with Toddler boy, to know what I am doing without too much reference to the instructions. Much easier than fiddling about with an oven. The finished effect is great and will be a good memory in itself.
The box fitted all our keepsakes well, without being too enormous to store in itself. So, in conclusion, if you are looking for one, then this is probably just the thing for you; stylish, simple and well made, with the ability to personalise.
