Because the first birthday is the perfect time to start traditions
One of the most magical birthday years to celebrate is the first one. The first twelve months of a child’s life are so momentous! The blur of the newborn weeks give way to the milestones of smiling, sitting, and crawling, and then to the baby’s growing interaction with the world. By one year of age they are more toddler than baby, and their personalities are coming into full view. That is a lot to celebrate!
Parents ride that roller coaster of a first year, so the first birthday is as much a commemoration of our own growth as it is the baby’s. We made it! We feel the relief at having come through the challenges, and we feel a wondrous appreciation for the little person the baby is becoming. We can’t resist it, we need to stop and savor this moment our family has grown into.
Amidst this jumble of joy and hope, what gift can encapsulate the true depth and optimism of this birthday? Certainly there are legions of adorable toys and racks of darling apparel for a one year old child. But if we want something that meets the moment of importance, we want a keepsake gift.
Keepsake first birthday gifts often mean an engraved rattle or decorative object – something that is meant to be saved and marks the occasion. But the best keepsake gift would be more than just a time capsule, it would be a gift that is actively used and enjoyed by the whole family throughout years of birthday traditions.
Keepsake First Birthday Gifts Make Memories
Keepsakes mean memories, and memories are always being made. A keepsake that harbors old memories and at the same time creates new ones is truly a treasure. Our classic gifts, like the Birthday Countdown Calendar, The Birthday Banner, and the Birthday Photo Prop, are designed to last for years and be incorporated year after year into your birthday celebrations.
Giving the Birthday Countdown Calendar as a first birthday keepsake gives the child a yearly routine of counting down the last 14 days till their birthday. Every part of the tradition – hanging the calendar, counting the days, savoring the anticipation as the day approaches – will be a cherished part of their celebration. Crafted with exceptional care and the highest quality, the calendar will be ready to countdown years of happy days as the family celebrates birthdays together. Expanding the magic of a birthday to 14 days means even more memories will be part of those occasions.
It is a valuable keepsake that actually engages the child year after year. In addition to the calendar, the Birthday Photo Prop is a fun, creative way to mark each passing year. The child can pose in it – letting their personality shine through as they grow and find unique ways to make each year’s picture special. Photos progressively showing the child growing from age one upward will generate a roster of memories on full display. Having a keepsake reminds us of a milestone, but using a keepsake builds experiences around the milestone so that it breathes with new life each year. A simple and elegant keepsake first birthday gift is the Birthday Banner. Its ageless, sophisticated decor will create a charming display appropriate for any birthday year. Incorporating decorations of lasting value into the festivities will infuse a sense of tradition to the holiday.
Keepsake First Birthday Gifts Forge Lasting Connection
But the best part is the delight and anticipation they invoke! When we choose a gift with thoughtfulness and care, we hope it will be saved and adored with the same sense of pleasure that we brought to our purchase. After all, a keepsake should be fun to keep!
Every item in the Mint Birthday Bundle is designed to celebrate your child in the unique way that your own family creates. The Birthday Banner can be hung on a bedroom door – or anywhere it feels festive. The Mint Birthday Countdown Calendar, brought out 14 days before the birthday itself, expands the celebration into many days of happy planning, dreaming, and wishing. The Mint Birthday Photo Prop is a gateway to silly fun as the child holds the frame to their face, striking any pose their mood suits. The Pink Birthday Bundle features the same magical products, but with pink, flowery details. Whichever one you choose will be the beginning of the original, imaginative traditions your family will create and share through years of celebrations.
These magical times will then become part of your family’s story. As the years progress, the happy memories of all your past celebrations will make each birthday more meaningful. The joy of the present day is compounded by the joy of the memories and stories recalled.
