You can give her a gift she will never forget.  Give her a keepsake gift.

A keepsake gift is something she will cherish and remember forever.  There are so many ways to get creative and create your own unique keepsake gift for an infant ~ and the mom to be.

Photo Keepsakes

It is so easy to put together a photo book online.  You can use most photo sharing websites to create this book. You may put together pictures of her pregnancy, or her shower.  You can easily submit the images you want and the website will send you an actual book.  You can also do calendars, and t shirts. These are keepsakes. She will hold on to them forever, and always remember it was you who took the time to do something special.

Milestone Keepsakes

These are great gifts to help a new mom keep track of the milestones.  You can get little tins for the first tooth lost, or the first lock of hair from a haircut.  Sentimental moms love these kinds of gifts.  It will give her a special place to keep the momentos of her baby growing up.

Keepsake Utensils

We received a beautiful silver set of silverware and a silver sippy cup when my daughter was born. These gifts are more to be saved and passed down from generation to generation.  You may even have a set like this yourself.  If you are the grandmother to be, passing down family heirlooms is a wonderful way to share in the process and one of the most unique infant gifts you can give.

Blankets and Quilts

Heirloom quilts and blankets are another amazing keepsake you can give to a mom to be.  My mom gave me a handmade crocheted blanket my grandmother made when I was born. This was a very special gift because my grandmother is no longer with us.  I will treasure this baby blanket and I will always remember who it came from and what it means.

So try to think of something special, something they will remember past the first 30 days of sleepless nights.  They will appreciate the gift and you for it.
