Unique and Heartfelt Heirloom Gifts for New Families
Being a new family this holiday season, I’ve been spending some time thinking about what traditions we want to start with our son during these holiday times. We’ve been looking for “First Christmas” type things as well as pieces that will stand the test of time so that one day he’ll be able to use them with his own family and pass them on to his own children. I’ve found so many beautiful, handmade, heirloom pieces that would be AMAZING gifts for the new parents (and heck, even older parents) that you know and love. Click through for my favorites…
Start A Special Tradition
My husband’s family has a tradition with a plate like this. It is brought out for birthdays, celebrations, and special occassions and the guest of honor gets served on it. I love the tradition, and I love this organic take on the traditional plate.
Plate available at Paloma’s Nest with delivery by Christmas if order is placed by 12/12.
Santa's Key
I ADORE this idea for having a “master key” for Santa. With a customizable storage pouch, this is a really cute heirloom gift.

No Coal in These Stockings
These classic and personalized stockings are a beautiful and oh-so-special heirloom gift. Stockings are kept for years and years, so what better place to create something heirloom?

I Never Forget a Face
There are so many great options out there, you aren’t limited to only “Baby’s First Christmas”. I love the idea of getting one of these ornaments done each year with our son’s photo.

Where You Were Born
I love this heirloom ornament in the shape of where baby was born, or where your family first lived as a new family, or where you met… the options are open to interpretation. Either way, it’s precious.

Heirloom Keepsake Baby Box
For all those tiny trinkets of baby’s first days and months, this beautiful wood and ceramic, customizable box is darling.

Gilded Memories
I love marking time and taking note of special dates and occasions. This customizable piece can be made to commemorate your first Christmas as a new family!

Our First Christmas!
This is the ornament that we actually chose to commemorate our first Chrsitmas. I loved that is says “Our First Christmas Together” instead of the more common “Baby’s First Christmas” and we are having our son’s name stamped underneath.
