Keepsake baby box

Has anyone made a keepsake box? What did you keep in it? I’m making one for when my little girl turns 18. so far I’ve added a newborn outfit, hospital tags, a knitted blanked and hat the hospital gave us, hand and foot prints, scans (I had 7 ahaha) and a letter from both me and daddy. I’m going to add more stuff as she grows out of it- from nanny and grandad (dragonfly toy she LOVES), fave cuddly toy (it looks like the dog), from nanny (a blanket she knitted), first rattle, favourite book and photos of important people (my dad is no longer here and I want him to be a part of it). I was thinking first birthday cards and stuff too. Just curious if anyone else has sentimental bits in theirs!

i love sentimental stuff. i've got one and it has his umbilical, favorite paci, his first teeny tiny onesie with the year he was born on it, his footprints, hospital hat, tags, and i have a journal with funny things he's done as he grows that will go in there one day. I think there's a polaroid photo of him as an infant in there too. his bday cards are in a totallyyy different box cause they take up a lot of space though

Pregnancy test, scan pics, umbilical chord peg, hospital bands, first outfit & going home outfit, christening certificate, first Halloween outfit, first Christmas outfit, first fave toy, foot mold... I'm extremely sentimental lol and can't help myself.. my baby girls box is so rammed I've decided it's just her first year box and need to buy another 🤣 xx

I’m I have one started from new born. There’s her wrist band and mine from the hospital and her baby hat and an outfit I’ll give to her one day. As well as her baby footprints from hospital. Valentines artwork. Fun stuff like that.

I do writting in a book for her and brought those things about mom and dad books

I've got his umbilical cord clip, wrist band and hat from the hospital, two newborn babygrows (the one with his year of birth on plus one which was my favourite), some cards from family from when he was born and I'll also add my favourite outfit from each size from his first year and his first rattle. I also have a baby memory book with milestones/memories etc from each month and hand/foot prints in it

Mine has a size 0 nappy in to show how small they were, coming home outfit, ultrasounds, umbilical clip, footprint I did first day, hospital tag and a Polaroid from each birthday

Her first dummy and a lock of her baby hair too 😁

I have a pink tote and just her first everything. Because I felt like I won’t get those back so anything she had for the first time. I just kept in there. Just the things that felt very sentimental I kept. If I could have kept everything I would have lol. 🤍
