It's that time of year again. It seems like every day you receive a new invitation in the mail asking you to attend a baby shower or blessing. These invitations can start to pile up on you but literally and mentally. How are you going to buy gifts for all of these babies? Will you look cheap if all you bring is a congratulatory card with the proverbial "It's a Boy!" statement on the front?
A congratulatory card may be adequate in most cases. But what about those invitations that are for children who may not be your own, but will be a part of your life for years to come? The pressure can get overwhelming as you realize how important this gift can be even though its receiver can't even talk yet. However, this is where looking for timeless gifts instead of gift certificates or clothing can become treasures that the baby may not be able to enjoy now, but will treasure for the rest of their lives as they grow older.
One such gift can be a silver commemorative sterling silver spoon. Though it may not be helpful for those three in the morning baby feedings, a sterling silver baby gift will be something that not only holds some monetary value, but also will be a gift of great sentimental value for decades to come.
If a spoon seems like too small of a gift for the child, you can also look at entire baby flatware sets. With the extensive advantage of the internet, it has become quite easy to find even heirloom quality baby flatware sets.
If you decide to go with an entire flatware set, one company to research would be Reed and Barton. Reed and Barton's flatware selection does a great job of appealing to the child market by using shapes such as fish or ABC blocks in their designs, or, you can also get child sized versions of their adult flatware sets.
You may also want to look into Lenox flatware sets for your next baby shower. Lenox has a wide variety of options for heirloom quality gifts, but by far their flatware sets stand out as exceptional options. Each set features wonderfully engraved pieces guaranteed to make the child feel special once they grow older.
Another gift idea may be a silver baby cup. Oneida Silversmiths manufacturers the perfect silver cups for your next shower. These cups also come with an included parchment card explaining the history of Oneida that will help contribute to the history of the cup as well as the child you plan to present the cup to.
Another option that you may consider is a silver baby's rattle. Coming in a variety of sizes and shapes, a silver rattle is something that can be safely used while still young and then kept as a priceless heirloom once the child grows.
Not only may you be providing heirloom quality pieces infused with future memories of you, but your gifts will last far beyond even their receiver's lifetime. Your baby gifts could potentially be passed down from generation to generation as a constant reminder of your love for that child, as well as a constant reminder of its future givers as each hand that your gift passes through blesses the life of its receiver.
So though you may be tempted to take the easy route and send a two dollar card from your local gift shop or a gift card to your local baby supply store. Maybe this time you may want to give a gift from the heart. A baby gift of a silver cup or a flatware set may not mean something now to its receiver, but it could be a gift that potentially affects the lives of many generations to come.
