Why create a birth keepsake?
The birth of a baby is a unique moment. A birth keepsake allows you to keep a tangible trace of those first days — tiny hands, little feet, a name or first belongings. It is also a wonderful original newborn gift idea for a new mum or young parents.
The best birth keepsake ideas for your baby
1. The baby print kit
The ANCRER baby print kit lets you create a 3D birth keepsake using your baby's hand or foot.
2. The memory box
Perfect for keeping the hospital bracelet, tiny booties, the first dummy or the birth announcement card.
3. The newborn photo album
A photo album tells the story of baby's first days: the maternity ward, coming home, first smiles and family moments.
4. Personalised jewellery
A piece of jewellery engraved with a name, date of birth or initial is a subtle and deeply meaningful baby keepsake.
5. The newborn photo session
A newborn photo session captures baby in those first days with soft, natural and professional images.
6. The birth poster
Featuring baby's name, date, time, weight and length, a birth poster becomes a beautiful nursery decoration.
