First tooth and first curl boxes
These tiny round boxes, about 4.5 cm across, are made for a first tooth or a first curl. Choose a teddy bear, a little train or a fairy princess, each with My First Tooth or My First Curl and a name and date around the edge, or a botanical box with the name in script and a line of your own.
Wooden keepsake and memory boxes
For bigger keepsakes, such as the first outfit, the cards and the scan photos, choose a hand-painted white wooden box: Love you to the moon and back, a little elephant under a pastel rainbow, a large floral initial, pastel rainbows, safari animals, woodland animals, a teddy with balloons, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or a Scandi safari memory box with just the name. The large natural wooden boxes, about 28 cm square, have an elephant, lion and giraffe, safari animals, woodland animals, or the officially licensed Me to You Tiny Tatty Teddy with jungle friends. Each closes with a metal clasp. For a little girl, there are Swan Lake ballet shoes and a unicorn in front of a rainbow.
Christening trinket boxes
Each of these shiny boxes has On your Christening on the lid, with the name, the date or the church in your own words underneath. Choose a heart-shaped box with four short lines, a rectangular box with four longer lines, or a round box with a soft grey cross and three lines around it. A round box with a small cross and swirls has no fixed wording: it takes your own heading, such as On your Christening, and the name in a large script. They come empty, ready for a bracelet, a medal or a lock of hair.
Boxes with a cross necklace or rosary beads
For a gift to keep for when they are older, the heart box and a rectangular box with a soft cross on the lid come with a silver-coloured cross necklace, and the round box comes with rosary beads. A ready-printed box with On Your Christening and a cross necklace needs no wording at all. The necklaces and rosary beads are keepsakes, not for a baby to wear, so keep them in their box until the child is older. The round cross box, with a gold-coloured or silver-coloured cross and three lines of your own, suits a christening now and a First Holy Communion later.
Children's jewellery boxes
For a little girl's first jewellery, the white wooden jewellery boxes have a fairy princess among pink flowers or a ballerina in a pink tutu, with her name on the lid and a mirror inside. The wooden jewellery box with a cross and green leaves suits a christening or a communion. More gifts for the day are on the christening gifts page.
Certificate holders
Keep the birth, christening or baptism certificate safe. The silver-plated holders rest on a stand with four lines of your own on the plaque, and the tube says On Your Christening, On Your Baptism, It's a Boy or It's a Girl, or a heading of your own beside a small cross, and one plain tube carries no wording at all. The wooden birth certificate boxes have a white lid with pastel rainbows, a giraffe and lion, or an owl and rabbit, and a free-text wooden box takes four long lines of your own.
