If you want to please “mom” with something special, mother’s necklaces (and
other mother’s jewelery) can be found in many styles. Red Envelope offers some
unique and tasteful necklaces, including the Loving Arms necklace. Made of
sterling silver, a mother’s arms cradle a small freshwater pearl to represent
her child; additional pearls may be added for other children. Another great
choice from Red Envelope is the Family Tree birth stone necklace; the delicate
tree design is made of forged sterling silver and can be personalized with up
to eight birth stones, each representing a child or family member.
Another idea for new parents is a keep-sake box such as Babies First
Keep-sake Box, made of paper mache’ and hand-painted in an adorable design.
Offered by Uncommon Goods, the box contains illustrated sleeves to hold
baby’s first lock of hair, first tooth, i.d. bracelet and other keep-sakes.
Also great for keeping track of baby’s milestones and preserving memories, are
Big Day books. A kit includes an attractive baby album, in your choice of
several colors and styles, as well as access to the company’s online system for
new parents to create a month by month personalized baby book. Visiit

Other unique ideas include designer diaper bags, including some which are
especially for dads. Dads can tote their babies in style with the Diaper Dude
diaper bag for dads, or Land’s End’s back pack style diaper bag.
A pack of pee-pee tepees from Uncommon Goods is a cute and practical little
gift. These tiny cloth “tepees” provide cover when parents change their
baby boys; anyone who’s ever had a baby boy knows about getting “squirted”
during a diaper change!
