Jean and her daughter Dorothy


Children may not remember their first birthday party or first bath, but a keepsake box can help commemorate those special moments for years to come. Decorate a sturdy box with paints, ribbons, fabric, buttons and beads—be creative! Then, save photos, school programs, family videos or scraps of your child's first blanket to include in this gift. Include anything you think will bring back memories! Don't forget to write a meaningful letter to your child—seal your legacy with love.

Sometimes, the greatest gift of all is the gift of memories—they last forever and the fun of "opening" them never disappears!
