Baby showers overflow with adorable, useful things — and almost all of them are outgrown or used up within a year. Amid the onesies and diapers, a keepsake stands out as the gift the new mom will still have when her baby is grown.
A handmade charm is a meaningful baby shower gift that honors this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Small and lasting, it celebrates the new mom and the tiny life on the way. Here is how to choose one.
Why a keepsake belongs at a baby shower
Practical gifts are wonderful, but a keepsake is what a mom keeps forever. A charm like Baby Feet marks the pregnancy and birth in something she can hold onto for decades, while an encouraging charm reminds a new mom that she's got this — something diapers can't do.
