Baby Gifts That Become Heirlooms

Silver is the tradition for a reason: a Christofle baby cup or spoon, or a Cunill sterling frame, gets kept for life. Herend bunnies and Halcyon Days enamel boxes mark first birthdays beautifully.

For christenings and baptisms, see our dedicated christening gifts. Add the child's birth date to your gift note — these pieces resurface at graduations and weddings.
