Being invited to a baby shower is a special honour, but many people find it difficult to choose a gift for the mother that she will truly treasure.
A great idea is to give them a voucher for a baby casting, so they can capture their little one’s features forever after they are here.
Here are three reasons why baby castings are proving a popular gift for new parents.
Remember the moments
In the blink of an eye, newborns suddenly become chubby little babies, who then turn into toddlers who are never still, who then transform into children dressed in their school uniform. So being able to mark the moment when they are so tiny is really precious, as it will go before you know it.
Although you can take photos and videos, there’s nothing like glass, plaster, bronze, gold or silver casting to remind you how wrinkled the bottom of their feet or how tiny their toes were.
Something unique
Baby casting gifts are also incredibly unique, which new mums and dads are likely to appreciate. They are often bombarded with new teddies, books, creams and nappies as baby shower presents that they don’t need any more.
Something personalised like fingerprint jewellery or framed casts will definitely stand out from the rest and be something they always remember, long after the nappy cream has finished and the baby blanket has stained.
Completed family
There’s also the option to have a family hand cast, which is ideal for parents who have completed their family.
The children and parents can have their hands cast together, so they can always look back at the family holding hands, recalling how small their little ones’ hands were and how neatly they fit inside their own.
