I shall be revisiting some of the lovely special gifts Finley got for his first birthday like this one and also his gorgeous timeline but also the little gifts mummys babies love that are just too cute and possibly a little bit cheeky!
Looking back aside from his clothes the majority of his presents could be for either a little Dolly Pop or a Rowdy Rascal - Finley very much being the latter.
After racking my brain for ideas I remember stumbling across a gem on pinterest, a little memory box frame filled with lovely newborn goodies. The one on pinterest was A3 and had the tinniest babygrow pinned in, after searching and searching all I could find was this A4 memory box one so I opted for tinier mementos.
I gathered all Finley's little newborn lovelies, from his little knitted hat that seemed massive at the time, his name tags and his first ever scan. Another cute touch would be to add the umbilical cord clip, I have put Finley's somewhere so safe I cant even find it...hopefully when I come across it I shall add it in.
I love it, it ticks all my present loving boxes. And I'm sure when Finley is a little older he will love to see how tiny his little arms and legs once were for those tiny taggies to fit around.
You can buy your memory box frame from John Lewis, mine was £23 and came with all the little pins and printed tags. They do them in pink and blue too! Lovely Jubbly.
They would also be perfect for an 'after wedding gift', if you keep your invites, menu, a little handful of confetti and a photo of the happy couple I'm sure they would love it!
I hope this has given you a little inspiration for your little ones 1st Birthday and if you do go ahead and make your own please let me know....I would love to see a picture.
