Baby Time Capsules Are The Perfect Baby Gift For Saving Those First Memories

Anyone who has children will tell you that time slips away so quickly that it will make your head spin. One minute you have an infant and the next minute you are getting ready for your child’s first day in school. With one precious moment sweeping past after another you want to capture as many memories along the way. A Baby Time Capsule can help you keep a collection of items that will evoke wonderful memories for you and your child.

Everyone wants to announce the arrival of their new baby in a memorable and distinctive way. The latest trend is to send baby photo announcements, which include one or several photos of the baby that you can keep forever in your baby time capsule.

One of the first types used, and is still very commonly used, is to simply include a printed 3×5 photo with a store bought card, hospital provided card or handmade card including the baby’s birth information. People generally like these because they can keep the photo itself without having to necessarily keep the announcement. Because of the desire to keep a photo, the announcement and photo combination have evolved into companies offering baby photo announcements that include the baby’s photo and birth information imprinted on the card itself, making the card more custom and personal.

Many of us rely on our memories way too much. I kept a baby time capsule for my daughter during her first year of life. There were some objects that I collected while I was pregnant and others I collected during the first 12 months after her birth. One item I wanted to add to the baby time capture was a cute little ducky outfit.

When I opened the baby time capsule I was surprised by how many things I had forgotten in so little time. My daughter just hit her 18th month when I opened the memory box and I had already started to get sentimental over the items I had collected. There were many items I had completely forgotten about as well.

The amazing thing is that I often wonder how on earth I could forget about her favorite ball or her favorite hat. These items that were placed in the baby time capsule held such value for us when they were being used. How could these things be forgotten so easily so quickly?

After the experience of forgetting about some of the sentimental items found in the relatively new baby time capsule I decided that I would take the process one step further. I have my daughter’s baby time capsule from her first year but I also have a few notes added to the objects to make the memories stronger.

I also thought that this would be a great way to share the memories of our daughter’s first year after she is married and ready to start a family of her own. We are going to save her baby time capsule to open when she is carrying her first child. This will be a great thing to share during her baby shower and they also make great a great Unique Baby Gift to give to an expectant mother.

Creating the baby time capsule has been a pure joy for me and my husband. One day we will share the memories with our daughter on a very special occasion. At the rate moments are buzzing by that special occasion may come sooner than we think.
