Description
This carousel keepsake box set gives a baby's first tooth and first curl of hair a proper home of their own. There are two little round boxes, each shaped like a fairground carousel, with a pale blue pointed roof for a lid, a shiny silver knob on top and a scalloped silver edge beneath it. The bodies are a soft creamy white banded in blue, and a silver galloping horse stands out in relief on the side of each. One lid reads "My First Tooth" and the other "My First Curl", so there is never any doubt which treasure sits where. Each box stands 6.3cm tall and 4.5cm across, neat enough for the smallest shelf.
We think these boxes make a thoughtful christening gift, and a lovely present for new parents welcoming a new baby. They sit happily on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a dressing table, where the blue and silver catch the light. Because the lids carry those words rather than a name, the set suits any little one, and it keeps its purpose well beyond the baby years: the tooth box waits for that first wobbly milk tooth, so an older child can treasure it too. These are keepsakes for grown-ups to look after and display, not toys to play with.
The boxes are made of metal, silver-plated and finished to a high shine, and each pointed lid lifts straight off by its knob. To keep them looking their best, dust them with a soft dry cloth and steer clear of harsh polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can wear a plated surface over time. For gifting, we like to tuck a handwritten note for the parents inside the curl box, then set the two side by side on the nursery shelf, where they will hold two of childhood's smallest milestones for years to come.
