Document Their Lives

Perfect Memory Creations
Having a baby may seem like an unforgettable experience, but with the millions of childhood milestones, there may be a moment or two overlooked. If a mom doesn’t start a mommyblog, what’s she to do with the oodles of things she wants to tell junior when he or she grows up?

Things have changed since the days of parents putting some photos behind a plastic sheet, and hanging children’s artwork on the fridge until it’s put away in a cardboard box somewhere. Parents everywhere are looking for unique and special ways to record precious memories and save important documents. Offer your clients something different by allowing them several unique ways to show love for their children, including beautiful baby journals, albums, and keepsake boxes.

Don’t Forget the Fun Times with Frittabello

Frittabello
Let’s face it: the first three months of a baby’s life soon becomes a blur for new parents. Encourage them to remember to record the treasured times with the My Life baby journal. Created by Jennifer Covello, the My Life journal allows a new mom or dad to become their baby’s biographer. Jennifer had so much to say after her first child was born, she created these journals to record milestones, events, and just daily life during pregnancy and after baby’s arrival.

This award-winning journal offers 127 archival quality pages packaged carefully in a charming bow-tied keepsake gift box. Acid-free paper preserves photos and written words, while the spiral binding allows pages to lay flat for easier journaling. Each chapter begins with a special message that helps frame entries, making them personal and meaningful. Pages for pictures and messages from special relatives and friends in a child’s life are also included.

The best part? Parents can start the words flowing long before they know whether their little one is a boy or girl, because the covers are gender-neutral, making it a great gift at any stage of pregnancy.

Creating the Perfect Memory with The Story of ME

Perfect Memory Creations
Beyond recording milestones, parents will have a lifetime of keepsakes to pass on to their child someday. The first cut of hair, the first lost tooth: all can be perfectly preserved. For over a decade, Perfect Memory Creations has been known for creating boutique-quality baby keepsake products.

The Story of ME album was created by a mother who wanted more personalized options for recording her child’s memories. As the album evolved to include personalization kits, so did demand for other keepsakes, and the product line expanded to include over two dozen fabrics (offering hundreds of personalized combinations), keepsake boxes, photo albums and an extended selection of memory albums, religious and wedding gifts.

The keepsake boxes are 12” x 12” x 4” and allow for three different fabrics to complete the look, as well as personalization options for two names and a date. They also feature a box top that allows for a picture. Colors include gender-neutral palettes perfect for early pregnancy gifts, as well as typical baby blue and hot pink.

Little Ones Showcase Offers a Gallery for Art

Little Ones Showcase
For artwork that begs display, consider offering products from Little Ones Showcase. Created by the parents of twins who were busily creating an avalanche of artwork, Little Ones Showcase offers products that are easy to install without damage, and even features how-to guides on its website.

While the mini-Monet might wish to paper the house with their artwork, many parents don’t want their child placing art directly on delicate walls. The Art Tape is a low tack tape perfect for the child who may wish to hang their own art. This easy tear-off dispenser has 36 feet of tape.

If parents don’t want to hang art on the walls, The Art Saver Box is wide and deep with a carrying handle that allows for plenty of art and papers for each school year.

A home turns into a gallery with rotating art displayed on The Art Show. Featuring 11 feet of line and 10 display clips, it makes it easy for parents to mount and update kids’ creations.
