If you are looking for an inexpensive but treasured baby gift, try a "Year You Were Born" album. This gift grows more special with each passing year. Buy an inexpensive photo album or scrapbook. Insert items such as headlines from the newspaper on the day of the baby's birth, ads that reflect current trends and pricing, movie and TV listings, and a few other main stories from the baby's local area. You can also insert things from magazines, car catalogues and pictures from the baby's family of how they looked at the time baby was born. Arrange all of the items in a fashionable way. Showcase trendy colors and put in fun sayings of the moment, precious poetry, or thoughts from mom-to-be as well. Write a little note inside the front cover to explain what the album is and a brief rundown of what was happening in the world on the day he/she was born. Don't forget to include top songs and government leaders too! Add some special sentiments from your heart to the new little one for a treasured personal touch to the album. It takes a little time to put this together - but the love put into it, will radiate out to the newborn for a lifetime. |
