Baby Keepsake |
| The History of Baby Keepsakes dates back to the Egyptians and Romans who bestowed small gifts upon the new born baby and presented parents with a unique hand made keepsake gift after the baby was born. Modern baby gift giving came into its own after World War II with the advent of the modern baby shower; a time for family and friends to gather and celebrate the gift of a new life; we did not always bring bottles and diapers to the parents-to-be. Years ago it was popular to give the parents gifts that they would need to help care for the new baby. Typically family and friends waited until the baby was born, sometimes quite a while after the birth before sending over gifts and other items to help out, because infant mortality rates was very high and family and friends just did not give gifts to expectant parents.
