New Baby & Baby Shower

Onesies get outgrown before the thank-you notes go out. Baby shoes last about a season. A hand-painted Limoges keepsake, on the other hand, sticks around for the first tooth, the first haircut, and the day that baby grows up and asks where their tiny treasure box came from. It is a baby shower gift that stands out on the gift table, and it arrives gift-boxed, which tired new parents will deeply appreciate.

Highchairs, Playpens and Mama Animals

Baby milestones get their own little homes here, including a round box for a first curl and a small blue box for a first tooth. There are babies napping in pink, a baby in a playpen, a little one perched in a pink highchair, and a nautical cake with baby booties. Animal lovers will find mamas with their babies: a rocking rabbit, a gentle antelope, a protective panther and a sweet baby elephant. Every piece is painted by hand in France, and the hinged lid keeps those precious bits safe, from a hospital bracelet to a wisp of hair.

The Keepsake Shelf Starts Here

A baby gift is often the very first box in a lifelong collection. Parents and grandparents add one for each birthday, each holiday and each first, so the child grows up with a shelf of memories made just for them. Set the boxes on a nursery bookshelf, out of reach of grabby little hands, or display them on a dresser beside framed photos. Later, they make a lovely gift to pass along when that baby has a baby of their own. Start small, and watch it grow as fast as they do.
