When looking for a beautiful baby gift, consider something made from quality silver. In addition to creating a rich look for the baby’s room, silver baby gifts can be saved until the baby is grown, then passed down to his or her children. Silver baby gifts have been a favorite choice for years, long before stuffed animals or fitted crib sheets. Therefore, if you want to give the gift that will last a lifetime, silver is an excellent choice.
When choosing silver baby gifts, remember that you want to buy pure sterling silver. Although you could choose beautiful pieces with silver plating, these do not last as real silver does. Now, if you want an excellent alternative, then you could look at pewter pieces. Although not real silver, pewter is much stronger than silver plating and it looks beautiful. Although you will generally pay more for sterling silver, the fact that it will last a lifetime is worth it.
Many traditional, silver baby gifts have been around for a long time. For instance, a sterling silver baby cup is a timeless piece, simplistic yet very elegant. Another great choice is the silver spoon. You have probably heard the old cliché, “born with a silver spoon in his or her mouth”, which refers to ancient times when the wealthy used only silver utensils to feed babies. Today, you can still enjoy the same prestigious gift without having to be rich.
Other options for a silver baby gift are more traditional. For example, while a silver sterling rattle with a white teething ring is a classic, it is a relatively new option that parents love. The rattle part is made from fine silver, giving this a beautiful appearance. Reasonably priced, this silver gift no longer has to be only for the baby who has it all.
For the newborn baby girl, you might consider a beautiful silver comb and brush set. You will discover many different styles but one of the most popular is the set with an oval shaped brush, detailed with a beaded border and soft, nylon bristles. You will also find a beautiful three-piece sterling silver utensil set, which comes with a fork, spoon, and long feeding spoon. As you can imagine, this gift is truly elegant, making the perfect keepsake.
If you want to buy a sterling silver gift but prefer something more contemporary, then consider a picture frame to proudly, display the baby’s photograph. The great thing about this gift is that because the frame is so versatile, it can accommodate the child’s picture year after year. For a little more fun, there are animal figurines such as a family of ducks with a mother duck and her three ducklings, a frog with little babies, teddy bears, and so on. Finally, you could go with functionality such as a Tooth Fairy box. Without doubt, sterling silver is a classic gift that will never go out of style.
