I just stumbled upon this growth chart by Miss Natalie which is like none I have seen.  Created by designer Natalie Davis, this Growth Chart comes beautifully packaged in an heirloom wooden box.  It consists of a four foot long jute cloth that is hung with a bright red satin ribbon.  The set includes twenty tags (half  red, half cream) for you to write your child’s name, age, and the date.  You then affix the tag to the jute fabric with the enclosed safety pins.  When your child is fully-grown, you can pack the growth chart back in the box as a special memory.

I love the idea of this growth chart and I find its handmade, simple look to be very appealing.  It would definitely be a great conversation piece in any child’s bedroom.  You can purchase one for $56 at fawnandforest.com. I think it would also make a very unique and thoughtful gift for a baby shower.

Here’s the perfect gift that combines music, crystal, and turtles. The Tiffany The Turtle Collectible Music Box by Ardleigh Elliott features a turtle, Tiffany, with a new friend, a bumblebee, on her back. Not only is the turtle named Tiffany, but the design of this music box was inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany.

This music box is handmade of Heirloom Porcelain and hand painted. The shell has Tiffany colors, with silvery accents, a Limoges-style hinge, and Swarovski crystal. The music box plays “Everything is Beautiful,” and is 4 1/2 inches wide x 2 1/4 inches high. It would make a great Christmas gift for a little girl, or even a shower gift for a friend who’s having a baby girl. This gift will be a collectible and cherished for years to come.

The handcrafted Heirloom Baby Rattles by USA Artisans is designed by renowned Artist William W. who has been making them for more than a decade.

The wood is hollowed and very lightweight, just big enough for baby to wrap his/her little fingers around.Each rattle is made from carefully selected native and plantation grown exotic hardwoods such as bird’s eye maple, cherry, walnut, purpleheart, ebony, redheart and cocobolo. The rattle is sanded smooth by hand and finished with walnut oil and beeswax, making it very soft and smooth to the touch while enhancing the warm colors of the wood.

No stains or dyes are used in making these rattles. The all natural finish makes it completely safe and friendly for babies as well as our planet.

Each rattles measures approximately 5 inches in length and make a gentle rattling sound. It comes in a small ivory colored organza gift bag. They retail for $30.

Unfortunately, the artist is currently having problems with his hands, and therefore, this rattle has been discontinued. KangarooBoo hopes to have them back in stock again once the artist’s health improves.

Here is a great photo album to capture and preserve all the memories of your new baby.  The album is hand-crafted to be extra special.  It has a linen-colored cover and a gold tassle that ties around the book’s binding.  I like the stork illustration on the front of the book, which has an antique look about it.  The album measures 9″ x 9″ and can hold up to 200 4″ x 6″ photos.  The pages are made from archival quality paper that is guaranteed to be acid-free.  There is space next to each photo for you to record additional notes and/or memories.

This would make a great gift for new parents, or a treasured heirloom for your own home.  You can purchase one for $39.95 from BlueberryForest.com.
